An amazing, and peaceful, beach in Azores.
It was quite cold, but the kids had the best afternoon playing with the black sand, that we don't have on the mainland.
And this black sand creates such a wonderful contrast with the water foam! Gorgeous place!

Behind The Lens
Location
On the beautiful Portuguese island of São Miguel, in AzoresTime
About 1 hour before sunsetLighting
Lighting / exposure was very hard due to the high contrast between the black sand and the sky. What makes it more beautiful, also makes harder to shoot.Equipment
Sony A65 with Sigma 10-20 f3.5, and tripodInspiration
The contrast between the black sand and the white sea foamEditing
Some to darken the skyIn my camera bag
Camera, a few lens, and a 10 stop filterFeedback
Take a ND Grad filter. Would have made the exposure much easier
