I was just browsing through some photos from last year when I stumbled onto this one taken at South Point on the Big Island of Hawaii. The weather was great but the sky wasn’t doing too much for me. When that happens, I find it helpful to simply pivot the camera downward (assuming you have a cool foreground element to take its place) and minimize the role that the sky plays in the frame.
I used two #NikCollection apps to process this photo. First, I converted it to B&W using Silver Efex Pro and then masked in the Bokeh effect from our newly released Analog Efex Pro 2 (the masking was done in PS CC). I felt that it gives the image a cool 3D effect.

LOVELY SHOT!!!
Nice image +Brian Matiash. Saw you on the grid and can't wait to play around with AEP2. Is it an automatic update if we already have the collection?
+Paul Bagley You can go to http://google.com/nikcollection and download the trial. If you already have the Nik Collection installed, the trial installer will update you and remove the limitations automatically.
Thanks very much +Brian Matiash!
Amazing details in the rocks!
Great shot! Nice texture on the rocks.
It's got a bit of a tilt-shift effect, if you ask me. The foreground rocks have some great detail. Sometimes going back to a photo long after you've shot it helps so much, doesn't it?
Different take on a great spot. I really liked South Point, especially the green sand beach close by.
