My o' Me was captured on South Beach by the 8th Street Lifeguard Station. While living in South Florida, I often woke up around 4 in the morning to walk the beaches in complete darkness as I searched for my next capture. One thing I must say about South Beach before sunup, man-it-stinks! That said, I'm glad images can't capture smells yet.
I used three images to produce this HDR capture. Thankfully not much cloud manipulation was needed the sky just worked for me. I aligned the clouds with the lifeguard station in-camera for a more dramatic composition. In-post I try to balance complementary colors as well as following the rule of thirds.
