This shot was taken a bit later the same evening. I decided to convert it to BW, as it originally came out in very delicate, pastel colours, which I love. However, the boulder looks better with a bit of a bight in BW, I think. Don't you?

Behind The Lens

Location

Beach under the Redlowo Cliffs in Gdynia.

Time

It was a sunset time, close to blue hour. I took several shots of boulders and this one, taken later, was perfect for B&W conversion.

Lighting

The light was already weak and the sky colours bleached. I took the shot with B&W conversion in mind and it seemed to have worked well.

Equipment

NIKON D750 with NIKKOR 14-24 mm F/2.8 lens. This combo secures very sharp and bright images even in darker conditions - perfect for this shot.

Inspiration

Redlowo Cliffs are one of our coast landmarks. We went for a walk with my family and I just took the camera along, just in case of a spectacular sunset.

Editing

Post processing were just minor corrections, mainly cranking up the contrast and adding a bit of a vignette.

In my camera bag

NIKON D750 NIKKOR 14-24 mm F/2.8 NIKKOR 24-70 mm F/2.8 NIKKOR 70-300 mm F/4.5/5.6 NIKON SB-700 LEE Filters Set + MARUMI Circular Polarizer Manfrotto + Benfro Tripods

Feedback

Take as many shots as you have time for - this is the only was to self-develop, progress and learn. :o)
