140518_5183199 Beached By The Bins (Sun 18 May)

Thirroul Beach Reserve, Illawarra, NSW

9 days since the preceding PAD. Uh-oh. This is where I started to slack off ahead of the arrival of the E-M1.

And this was not my finest photographic achievement. Viewed from this angle it almost looks like the tanker is sitting atop the grass embankment of the park. And is very small. Alas the exposure isn't there to pull it off.

I whacked on a Levels adjustment layer and pumped the crud out of the midpoint to brighten up the grass to the point where you can actually sorta tell that it is grass but of course this came at the cost of losing all of the rich colouring in the sky. I therefore whacked on a layer mask and painted out everything above the horizon to restore it to its original colours.

It all worked better in theory than in practice.
