Montauk Winter Surfers 2

A couple of Saturdays ago I was out at Montauk Point and there was a good break. Checking the south side rocks I found a group of winter surfers. i spent a couple hours of photographing the surfers. Below are a couple of images from that day to see more follow the link to the Montauk Surfers Gallery above.

Photos in the Snow

After a morning off shoveling snow I got a chance to take a few photos. After editing there were two photos worth sharing. The first is of pine trees on the farm behind my house the other is of the lighthouse at Montauk. I have never gotten good photo of the lighthouse with snow. The reason being by the time I get there the snow has mostly melted away and yesterday was no exception. However I was still able to get something worth while.

Advantages of Digital

Below are two images that I recently captured at Montauk in Camp Hero, the park on the ocean side of the point. I was unable to upload the unedited images due to problems it created in the galleries. In both images the foreground shadows are very deep with what appears tom be little our no detail. Originally shot in color and exposed to preserve the highlights then processed in Lightroom, Photoshop and Nik softwares. Besides the obvious conversion to black and white I was able to extract a great amount of detail in the shadows. These are not a HDR images, (high dynamic range). HDR images are a merge of several different exposures.
