Black and White in Harsh Light
When I was out and about last week looking for some photographic fun, the light and cloud/sky interest were a little weak, so I decided to focus on some details in the environment and cut out the sky entirely from any shot I took. Additionally I wanted to convert to black and white to help the eye focus on the textures of the Rock and long exposure water.
This is shot on my favorite camera of all time, the Nikon D750, @ f/13 for maximum depth of field, and is around a 1 to 1/2 second long exposure. I took a few of each and frankly I can't be bothered to check right now just for the post.
I made this photo while using a Hoya CPL filter (circular polarizing fillter) to cut down on a little of the glare and shine on the wet rocks, and and this was stacked on top of a 6 stop ProMaster ND filter (neutral density filter) to allow for longer shutter speeds in bright light.
