Dolphins at Daybreak

by Fire Girl Jess on November 18, 2011

 

I rarely shoot in black and white, but when I do it seems to open up so many possibilities.  Texture and depth shine through so much more than in color; shades tell stories that would be lost in a color image.

This image was shot on the Texas coast; these dolphins were playing in the channel at daybreak, following the freighters out and then messing around until the next ship came through.  I waited for over an hour to get reasonable light and wanting the dolphins “stacked” as it were.  The morning mist was just wearing off and combined with a high aperture it gives the image a nice “fuzzy” look.  The seagull was a happy bonus.
