On a recent trip we dropped into San Francisco for a day, went to Baker Beach for part of the late afternoon. Caught this shot of other people enjoying the beach with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. I was fortunate to have some amazing lighting as the sun dropped beneath a hazy mass of clouds. 3 Shot HDR shot handheld with Canon 7D, processed in Camera Raw to remove distortion, Merge to HDR in Photoshop, reprocessed in Camera Raw with the new filter in Photoshop CC to make adjustments post HDR, then exported to JPG. This shot is a lot like a previous beach shot in L.A. I posted almost a year ago called <a href="http://500px.com/photo/6001206">The Dude.</a> The person in the center pops against the perspective created by the beach, the Golden Gate Bridge rests on a third. The shoes reinforce the perspective. I like this one because it works compositionally.
