SOAKED AT SUNSET



Soaked at Sunset

by Adam Allegro

I will pretty much do anything to capture a photo.  Last night I must have looked like a nutcase.  Clean the lens, rush up to rocks, capture photo, run away like a little girl before the wave crashed on me, check photo, adjust settings, clean lens - Wash - Rinse - Repeat...  That was the sequence of events yesterday evening as I tried to capture the sunset in Monte di Procida/Bacoli.  The conditions were pretty adverse, and sea spray was terrible, forcing me to wipe off the lens as best I could every minute.  For the photo below, I stood my ground a fraction of a second longer and paid the price...  Soaked.  With all that said, I had a blast and only a handful of people were out watching me make an ass out of myself. 
I quickly went through the photos last night and only ended up processing a couple of them, including the one below.  I was bracketing and shooting handheld.  This is a single RAW capture processed only with Lightroom 4.  The ability to recover shadowed and highlighted areas in LR 4 is staggeringly good.  Enjoy!
Thanks for visiting!
