I was very fortunate to capture this image a few days ago, about 15 minutes before the sun set below the horizon:
Not too far from there, one can find this wonderful group of seals.

Great composition and lighting. You could beachcomb that all day.
I suspect this is “high Dynamic Range Photography” — it is a technique used by individuals using the same image using different ISO settings — thus 4 to 5 lighting settings generating 4 to 5 images using different exposures.
There is software that integrates such images and generates incredible looking images
It produces incredible images.
Reminds me of PEI.
Except for the seals. You’d have to go to Sable Island for that.
Lovely Robert, Bravo!
SO, is it HDR?
Also, what’s your software?
Lovely! And thanks for making me hate where I live.
Not sure here; there were no shots of the king male seals who lord it over their harems and young offspring.
Is seal behavior supposed to be a model for human behavior?
Gerry is correct, though I applied the HDR technique very lightly in this case. FYI I use Nik Software’s HDR Efex Pro 2.0. I like it though I haven’t tried any others.
I hope you all discovered the little “Easter Egg” if you click on the photo!
Fantastic photo! I envy you; to be able to both see that sky and get a photo of it is awesome!
Nah, Just drive up to North Point
Thanks Robert.
Hot damn, I was going to suggest Nik as I use Snapseed for quick stuff on jpegs on my iPad mini and am usually very impressed. I use Lightroom 5 but am often disappointed to see how outputted jpegs can be improved by Nik’s Snapseed.
Again, great pic. .
Stunning photograph Robert. I’d like to have a copy for my office, if that’s possible. You can email me at xxpatsplace@shaw.ca (lose the XX) if there is a way to get a high resolution copy suitable for framing.
Thanks,
Pat
I laughed at the bit below the video about not going closer than 50 yards to the seals’ colony. The smell will turn you back at 100.
