It's not uncommon to post process an image using two editing software suites; Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, for example, but in this case I used three. Well, actually the third is a plug-in from the Google Nik Collection series; a set of 8 that once commanded a hefty price tag but now available as a free download.
My favourite of the bunch is Silver Efex Pro2 - a monochrome conversion tool - and I used it here just to see how far I might take a straightforward shot and add a bit... well, quite a lot of, drama. It's almost like discovering the dark room all over again.
12-24mm f/4 AF-S Nikkor. 1/640 second at f/7.1. Matrix metering. ISO 160. Silver Efex Pro2

I haven't left any comments for a while so its time to catch up!.Where did summer go? like you Richard I enjoy the light down by the beach at this time of the year and the lack of people!I use Silver Efex a lot and I like the effects it gives to the cloud in this photo.
It;s a versatile plug-in, isn't it, Dane? It will be making me think more in terms of mono when out shooting.
