About the photo

I found this hidden beach near Praia do Amado, Algarve, Portugal. I was there in the middle of the day scouting the location, and as it was during high tide, I didn't expect anything special and got back at sunset just in case. The view I saw was absolutely different. The tide was low, and there were lots of tidal pools reflecting the sunset sky. And this one with the boulder in the middle was the biggest, and it has the most beautiful reflection.

About the place

_(wikipedia)

The Algarve is the southernmost region of continental Portugal. Tourism and related activities are extensive and make up the bulk of the Algarve's summer economy. Although Lisbon surpasses the Algarve in terms of tourism revenue, the Algarve is still, overall, considered to be the biggest and most important Portuguese tourist region, having received an estimated total of 7.1 million tourists in 2017. Its population triples in the peak holiday season thanks to seasonal residents. The Algarve is also increasingly being sought after, mostly by central and northern Europeans, as a permanent place to settle. An American-based study concluded that the Algarve was the world's best place to retire.

Wow this is truly beautiful. I wish we could go back to Portugal. Need to plan something for the summer or early autumn. Any suggestions?

[dmytrokorol]

Thank you! It is hard to suggest something ) We prefer the low seasons, but Algarve is always beautiful.

I think you could try to take it in hdr too, but still this one is pretty amazing! :)

[dmytrokorol]

That is interesting. Actually, it is a blending of multiple exposure (4 shots) using luminosity masks. to increase the dynamic range. Sounds like hdr for me :) Or you mean something else?

[matt.why.not]

Yeah it is, but what I meant to this exact photo is this stone in the middle, if the bottom side was a little brighter (pick shadows up) it would look better, but still it's only my opinion. It doesn't change that this photo is cool! :)

[dmytrokorol]

Thanks for the answer! I got your point. I tried it brighter and darker and decided it is better in between. Right, as you said there are just the different points of view, which is great )

[matt.why.not]

Yeah, anyways where do you edit photos? PS or LR?

[dmytrokorol]

Both. More LR, less PS

[matt.why.not]

Same here :D
