Best of a bad lot


I'm always telling others: There is no such thing as bad light... and today I have to apply that mantra to my own efforts. Twice.

Thwarted by cloud taking away the direct sunlight I wanted for an early shoot, I come away with nothing. I change tack later in the day and visit the beach. Again, the light is anything but spectacular, but I'm determined to photograph something.

Once again those odd bits and pieces that get washed up on the surf line save the day and I go for the minimalist approach. I add the rough sides as an afterthought. I'm not a big fan of borders on an image, but once in a while it doesn't hurt.



24-70mm f/2.8 AF-S Nikkor. 1/400 second at f/5.6. Matrix metering. + 0.67 EV compensation. ISO 400

Just out of interest, how did you add the framing? Takes me back to 80's and looking at photos in the Photograghers Gallery where the negative edges were included in the print to show the image was pure and uncropped :)

I used Silver FX Pro 2 software, part of the Google Nik Collection. It's a free download and the link is here: https://www.google.com/nikcollection/products/silver-efex-pro/
