Time Blending Dramatic Seascapes in Photoshop

Time blending (Exposure blending) can capture the action and drama in a photograph. Combining long and slow shutter speeds in Adobe Photoshop. Blends the best of both worlds for mind-blowing photography.
I had not realised how powerful this technique is until I experimented with blending together seascapes taken at different times, capturing the motion of the sea and freezing the action of the breaking waves.
This technique can take your moving water photographs to a whole new level.

Great video and probably a surprise to some photographers that time blending is an option to get creative and make the best image to represent what you actually experienced. You’ve done it in one still and explained it very well. Your photoshop tutorial was interesting using LR and photoshop but it worked great. I enjoyed the video and as you know the worlds best photographers use the time blending technique. It’s perfect for seascapes.

You're a photoshop guy not a photography guy. Its a composition not a photography. To each his own.

Hi Thanks lead-dog. I get youre point but the boundaries are very blurred between photography and art and always have been. I have a few guidlines that I go by so let me explain.
I clone nothing out of a photograph that is fixed to the ground, i.e it cant walk away, be blown, driven, or move of its own accord.
I only use photographs that I have taken within minutes of each other and capture the essence of experiencing being there (so no AI prompts) It has to pass through my lens when I was on location. and everything is taken at the location.
I justify adding the waves back in as they bring me back to closer to the moment I stood there and took those photographs.
Composites are not new to photography, we have done them in the darkroom for 100’s of years, but no questions wether those are “real” photographs. But your comments are very welcome. And I must thankyou maybe I have a new topic for a video?
