“Driftwood”

 
© 2014 Thousand Word Images by Dustin Abbott

This morning I awoke to the hints of a killer sunrise coming. By the time I got to this spot, some of the drama was over, but the lingering colors in the spreading overcast created a fabulous mood for this shot. I’ve hand blended some different exposures here, mostly because I wanted some blur on the water but didn’t want the tree branches blurred. I used my Rokinon UWA along with a solid ND8 filter combined with a ND Grad to help balance the sky. Enjoy!
