No exposure bias was set for this capture despite the bright sky as I had wanted there to be a few little details on the horizon rather than just a dark mass. Blue filter was added in post.

This was captured with a 1/2-inch sensor camera, an unpopular kit for landscape and low-light work. Exposure was biased 2 stops darker to preserve highlights. Mid-tones were then brightened in post separately for the sky and the sea.

With the wide end of the Fujifilm S100FS exhibiting a bit of barrel distortion, the bending of the horizon had become obvious as the camera wasn’t held level enough here.

Although this was captured on a full-frame sensor, the depth-of-field at f/8 and 70mm was apparently good enough to cover both the gentleman and the ship that was about 500 metres out.
