Joggers, surfers, and fisherman (and the occasional photographer) come to Torrey Pines before the daily crowds. The parking spaces right along the beach are wide open before sunrise. But by the time the sun has peeked above the horizon, this popular stretch of San Diego coast starts to fill up.

Did you snag your free copy of Perfect Effects 8? Today's photo was largely processed using PE8. A little masking to bring in an interesting background wave, and after that, all PE8. The main filter I used is the 80A warming filter in the suite. And Dynamic Contrast - my new favorite for nearly every outdoor shot I take.
