Texture Duo – (c) 2014 Gerard Blacklock
D7000 coupled with Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 @13mm Aperture: f/8and Shutter Speed: 10 seconds
out front – LEE graduated filter 0.9, LEE bigstopper and screw in circular polariser
So I am sitting here with two keyboards, two mice and Tickles, who is taking immense enjoyment in bashing out on one keyboard and mouse, it all goes well until she realises she wants my mouse and keyboard, which are much more interesting (probably ’cause they get a funny reaction from dad), especially the mouse with its cool little red light π
Editing images is always fun with either tickles or chaos, it takes 10 times longer than normal and I lose a few hairs through frustration but its still worth it π
So, this image, intended to be BW from the get go, is dedicated to tickles! Pretty typical semi-LE seascape image which could have actually worked in colour also, there was some nice subtle warm glow on the top of the clouds but I felt that water flow and texture in the rocks did not need any colour to really make it shine.

I welcome any suggestions, comments and improvements to my photography, they are always warmly welcomed and always appreciate the time people take to have a look, plus and/or comment.
Oh well, it took them 10 times longer to get a masterwork, you did not complain then! π B &W elegant and refined …the contrasts are magnificent! Thank you so much for sharing to you and to Tickles.
Awwwwwwwwww! I hope to meet Tickles one day π

Super work Gerard!!!
Excellent Gerard!!
I love how at first it looks very close up,but as you zoom in it looks rather distant …..you usually feel the opposite effect
