Pools of light

Another for the Flash of Red February 2018 challenge. Since starting to take black & white shots for the whole of February, I now find that I'm getting quite excited when there's heavy cloud cover!

The clouds always looks so dramatic in B&W, love the lighting on the water :)

I’m still waiting for clouds down here - either been brilliant cold blue sky, or dull grey.

This works really well.

[Sue]

I agree, the clouds are accentuated in b&w. The whole image works very well - I like the silhouetted figures

[Jesika]

Looks perfect for walkies, a nice chill in the air and an almost empty beach. How I wish...

Wonderful b&w capture, light, composition, sense of scale

[Patricia McPhail]

Spectacular! Love the clouds and the light on the water.

[Richard Brown]

Nice capture. It's always easier to make the sky look dramatic in B&W you've done a good job with this one :)

[FBailey]

@rjb71 Credit has to go to Silver Efex but thank you :)

[Rob Z]

Wow FB - you have this B&W concept mastered. Your series of landscapes/beachscapes is just lovely and it talks to me as Ann described in her intro to this section. :)

[Sue Rose]

This is lovely. Such lovely light and the sky looks great!

[Carole Sandford]

Looks great in b&w!

[Kas]

Gorgeous light across the water! The B&W just adds to th depth. Wonderful.

[Islandgirl]

Love ❤️ it!

[Catherine Otley]

Lovely with the clouds and people on the beach.

[Joan Robillard]

Lovely

[Kathy]

And you also have enough light to get marvelous silhouettes.

[Suzanne]

Ha, that made me laugh but you have been rather blessed with beautiful clouds. Love the shimmering sea and the silhouettes. I hope Tally behaved herself with the other dog :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Good one! Yes, dramatic clouds are always a plus with black and white! Great silhouettes!

[Chloe]

Beautiful b&w

[Wendy]

Such a dramatic sky! Well done!

[Gayle]

Awesome B&W image! Love the clouds!

[Babs]

Love the sunlight shimmering on the water.

[Casablanca]

You've done well with this one too - perfectly spread out silhouetted subjects giving it depth and interest. B&W is such a different thing to colour, I want to explore it more this year.

[Joanna kate]

Love the sparkly sea, dramatic look

[David]

You're discovering some b/w secrets!

[Ivan]

Love those figures!

[haskar]

Great composition and light.

[Mud]

Looks amazing. Fav

great composition ...the silhouettes really stand out ... nice work

[Ali J]

Lovely capture ... yes clouds are good ... a fellow photographer, who I used to shoot with, was always happier when there were nice clouds :)
