Group Hug

I thought I'd start my 2013 with a family hug! We rented a Jeep and drove around Oahu today. This was taken at Bellows Beach. It's a stunning place with the most amazing coloured water (my photo doesn't do it justice). It's basically deserted and has great waves for boogie boarding. Unfortunately it was SUPER windy today and threatening rain so we set up the tripod and took some fun shots. My lens was covered with salt so most of my shots have a misty/blurry quality to them. We had a fun New Years day! I hope you did too!!
Great shot! The salt effect is effective!

ohhh have you discovered a new action for PS? Salt effect? i like it!
January 2nd, 2013  
Well done! Hope you promptly cleaned your lens, salt is horrible for it. I really like how you managed to use the crud to your advantage, the processing here is great fun.

@mtngal Yes, I cleaned it right away. I've never seen it look like that!
