Description

Learning to see in black and white is a constant battle. But sometimes you come across something with so much contrast of light, that it that doesn’t require any effort. This was one of those scenes. The sun was setting, lighting the big surf and white foam into a glow. The two wading surfers, circled by seagulls, were mere silhouettes even to the naked eye. Printing it was just a matter of finding the right level of contrast to do the inherent dreaminess of the scene justice.
