At the beach again...

This time with my honey. I utilized Hodgy's softar for the first time (couldn't resist trying it out) and am pretty pleased with the results, plus I added a few small tricks of my own. The exposure on this shot was pretty near perfect so I didn't have to mess with color balancing the skin tones, which is nice because it means less work for me in ps!

Shot at Malibu Beach around 7:30 pm, Canon EOS DRebel, Sigma 70-300mm, 550EX (E-TTL, -2/3 comp., high-speed sync), f/5.0, 1/20th, 100 ISO.

Simply a gorgeous shot of the two of you!

Nat is right, the only decision is 11 X 14 or 16 X 20?

Ray, please tell us how you and Hodgy gets this effect?! I love it and have a couple shots where it would work perfect. BTW, great shot of you and your honey!

Thank you Nat, Speed and shutterman! I appreciate your comments, and I'm glad you enjoyed the photo. As I said, I was very pleased also with the results (as was my wife). Hodgy has put together some fine actions for ps, and he makes them available at http://www.nobsphotosuccess.com/actions.html

He posted the site some time ago but I can't remember where that thread was. Anyway, you can follow the link above and purchase it for yourself.
