Moody Coast

So here I am playing catch-up with my keywording, yet I just can’t help myself but try and play around with some of my unprocessed shots (hours of keyword entry isn’t exactly my definition of fun!). As I mentioned in a recent post, I am also starting to discover Lightroom 2.5. The program doesn’t really do much for me, except for the cataloging and keywording functions which are quite a bit more advanced than bridge. In any case, some of the cool things in LR are the Black and white presets. This is a shot that dates back to almost two years ago, in the Olympic coast of Washington State in Northwestern US. It was quite a dark and grey evening, which made for some moody images of the legendary Ruby Beach. I thought the Selenium look worked quite well with this shot. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

    Beautifully processed … I like the selenium, it adds to the atmosphere of the photo. I like how it disappears into light/white in the background there, contrasted w/ the bold, darker rocks.

    “Moody” is a good description for the photo…it’s creepy and kind of cold, but I find it very intriguing and calm.
