I do not normally turn to black and white for landscapes, as I often feel the sea and sky belong to colour. Yet this frame from Bridgewater Bay in Blairgowrie seemed to ask for something quieter. The long exposure over the water hole at low tide softened the restless movement into drifting mist, as though smoke were rising from the rocks themselves. In colour, the scene felt oddly harsh beneath the bright sun, but in black and white it transformed into something steamy and dreamlike — a hidden cauldron breathing gently along the edge of the bay.

Cierto que para los paisajes parece mas adecuado el uso del color y el blanco y negro es mas aceptable en personas u otras cosas. Pero he de decir que me parece una foto muy especial.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
It's awesome :-D
ReplyDeleteYour decision to use black & white was the right one. And it really does look like an underground cauldron. Steam and smoke looking almost glittery.
ReplyDeletePara mi, el blanco y negro tiene una enorme fuerza que hace que sienta el paisaje de forma enormemente potente y me identifique con él de manera definitiva. Un acierto desde mi punto de vista esta foto en blanco y negro.
ReplyDeleteAbrazo
Sembla un miratge, molt maca.
ReplyDeleteSalutacions.
That's a great black and white photograph.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
This looks like some alien planet. I really like this.
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteYes, the black and white works very well for this photo.
ReplyDeleteYour slow shutter speed gives the water a softness while the coral remains in sharp focus. I like your choice of monochrome for this photo.
ReplyDeleteI love your descriptive commentary as much as the image
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing black and white occasionally and your photo looks good. Once we only had black and white and we couldn't choose.
ReplyDeleteLooks good! I like the rock arch in the background.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I prefer the color for shutter speeds that slow. But that's just me. My shutter gets slower every day.
ReplyDeleteVery well done!
ReplyDeleteCool.
ReplyDeleteYour photo has a semi-abstract quality about it.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a secret place.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely dreamy, Roentare!
ReplyDeleteSuperbe photo pour un paysage qui ne l'est pas moins
