Glimpses of the Sea - I

Posted: 02/08/10

Description

This is the first of a new series of black and white landscapes I am presenting which feature glimpses of the sea I found on a morning walk just near my apartment.

I used a graduated ND filter on my D70 for these.

Noise is quite apparent on most of them; I apparently left the ISO set to 1600. It doesn't bother me as it somewhat approximates film grain and I like the scenes in any case.

Gavin this is so brilliant! The light, composition and every element here is outstanding!

I love it, Gavin. Sort of discovering to make a noise as our friend instead of enemy. I do that sometimes and I quite like the effect of it especially on B&W.

it's a great composition and lots of interest as well.

Stunning image Gavin, your graduated ND filter worked perfectly for this image. Lovely sky and gorgeous landscape. Like the low wide angle view. Excellent B&W processing to bring out the fine details and contrasts here. Excellent work!
