Long Sands Beach

Just finished a scrapbooking class where we learned how to use Adjustment Layers. I liked using a gradient map to make a black and white photo

@shutterbug49 When you apply the gradient map layer you can choose the black point and the white point when you choose the black to white gradient and you can make other points along the gradient. It gives you more control.

[John Falconer]

Adjustment layers are just beyond me. This is a great black and white.

[Joan Robillard]

@johnfalconer It helps to have someone explain them and the good thing is they are not destructive. This can be useful in scrapbooking.

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot. I like the sea spray over the wave.

[Peter Dulis]

works well in monochrome

Very nice- the black and white really brings out the textures of the houses, waves and shore.
