Fluidr / Lancaster... by Brad James ~ Nature Photography

On our final morning in Bonavista Brendan and I headed to Lancaster, NL for sunrise. We had pre-scouted our compositions the evening before so at 4:58am when the sun decided to peek over the horizon I was ready to capture the magic. The rugged coastline in this location was breathtaking and of all the places I have been in Newfoundland this one tops them all. There are so many possibilities for landscape shots and I feel I have only scratched the surface of this place.
This image was hand blended from 4 exposures. Two for the sky, one for the foreground rocks/land and the other one for the water. No saturation or vibrancy was added to this image..this is how magical the color was.
With landscape photography still being very new to me I would love to know your thoughts on this image. Be honest and brutal as its the only way I will learn. I look forward to sharing more shots like these of this rugged landscape I call home.
