Brixham Harbour

Brixham Harbour is located on the southern aspect of Tor Bay and boasts one of the largest fishing fleets in the UK, plus a thriving fish market to support it.
Over 100 fishing boats land and sell their catch at the local Fish Market on the quayside. A visitor viewing platform is strategically placed so visitors can watch the busy comings and goings of the fishing fleet, made up of large beam trawlers and the smaller day boats. Some of the smaller day boats can actually been seen working at various vantage points around Tor Bay i.e. Berry Head, Fishcombe and Hopes Nose.

With this shot I created 2 tonemapped images (one for the sky and one for the water) once they were imported into photoshop as separate layers I firstly processed them both individually using the curve adjustment tool to bring out the shadows and highlights and also I added some saturation to both layers. Once this was done I brushed through the top layer using the layer mask tool to merge both images together, flattened them, denoised and sharpened then finally added a contrast filter from Niksoft’s Color Efex.
