To get three clean shots, you have to time the up and down movement of the boat exactly. (The calmer the water, the better.) Even then, I had to do some heavy editing to clean up the movement shadows from the HDR processing.</p>http://www.stantonchampion.com/post/11611009927http://www.stantonchampion.com/post/11611009927Tue, 18 Oct 2011 09:04:31 -0400photoshdrmassachusettsgloucesteroceandog bar breakwater
