The Other Side of the Sunset - 2/10/2012

I've been taking a lot of sunset shots since there's been so many beautiful sunsets.  I also started to add Photoshop effects to make them different. I'd put on some texture effects..

On Friday, there were many sail boats and it was really beautiful to see.

I didn't know there was a lens flare effect in PSE.  I decided to add it to this lone surfer shot.

What you don't see in the sunset shot is just to the right of the sunset, this really large ship that's been out there to take the sand from the ocean floor in use to replenish the sand on the beach.  In all of my shots, I manage to avoid it or crop it off.

I took this shot and put some effects making it look more like some work boat used by oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico and nothing like the paradise tourists see.
