Oceano Dunes

Oceano Dunes, near Grover Beach in central coastal California, is most famous for the great work done there by Edward Weston in the first half of the twentieth century. It’s a fine beach which, of all things, allows cars to enter for a small fee. Odd.

It’s good to return to photography after all that recent tech talk!

I used that really clever technique Martin Evening illustrates in his book where you drag the Target Adjustment tool button to the area you want affected then simply drag it up and down on the picture until it looks right, like so:

In this case I used it on the highlights.
