Ocean Isle Beach Sunrise Seascapes, part 2

Part two of the lovely sunrise captured at Ocean Isle Beach.  This post includes a couple of monochrome compositions as well.  While the lovely color hues are a significant feature in the color compositions, the monochromes elevate the interesting patterns and textures of the clouds and tidal morning seascape.

Ocean Isle Beach Sunrise Seascapes, part 1

These lovely sunrise images were captured last week while on vacation at Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina.  The view is from the east end of this barrier island looking across the channel to Holden Beach, another in a series of North Carolina barrier islands. Mother Nature’s display this morning was quite spectacular!

Old Salem Cemetery Sunset

Last Saturday I shot some bracketed exposures during sunset at Salem Cemetery in the Old Salem district of Winston-Salem.  My intent was to perform some HDR tests with a trial version of Aurora HDR 2018.  I ended up with a composite of Aurora, Lightroom and Photoshop manipulations.   Aurora looks like it could complement my workflow; I hope to do some more testing before my trial expires.

Dramatic Seascapes from Ocean Isle Beach Part 1, 2 pics

The east end of Ocean Isle Beach remains undeveloped and retains much of the characteristics of a southeastern US barrier island.  This seascape is forever changing, and each time I visit, there is some new to discover .  Below is a view of a tidal pool looking from the Intracostal Waterway side of the island back towards the seaward side.

Below is a sunrise view looking east towards Holden Beach, another North Carolina barrier island.
