Regular readers know one of my favorite things to do is explore a new beach and Second Beach on the Washington coast has moved to the top of my list. I’ve posted a few photos from this visit and there will be more to come but today I have this black and white view for Lens and Pen by Sally’s Phoneography and Non-SLR Digital Photo Challenge: Black and White.

The textures of the sand really lend themselves to the black and white editing. So beautiful.

I’m glad you like it, Princess. The color version is special to me because it’s like standing there but I really like how the textural details become clear in black and white.

AMAZING rock formations out there – all worn down by the water and the wind, I s’pose. It looks a bit like a submarine being chased by a shark ! 🙂

A fun interpretation, M-R. 🙂 The sea stacks (rocks) along this stretch of coast are so interesting!

Marvelous sweeping scene of the Northwest coastline. Your perspective and the black and white give the image a bold patina that also is made inviting by the contrasts and textures. I want to go walk there right now. Happy Photo Challenge.

Thanks so much, Sally. I wish I was walking there right now too instead of leaving for work. 😉

Well thanks, Amy! I took this shot because I couldn’t stop looking at all of the colors on the beach and the reflected sky so I’m a little surprised that I chose to post it in b&w. Maybe I’ll share the color version later. 🙂

Wow, serious low tide. It must be interesting to see what lays lurking under the rocks or even under the mud.

There were lots of tiny crabs living under the rocks. 🙂

Thanks, we were there at the perfect time of day just after low tide and right as the sun started to head toward sunset. I can’t wait to go back for a return trip.

It’s amazing how beautiful these photos are in black and white, and from an iPhone! These are frameworthy! (How big a photo can you print from an iPhone image, do you know?)

Thanks for such a nice comment, Stacy! I don’t think these photos would print well in a format much larger than 4×6 but I keep thinking a series of small images hung together would have the impact of a bigger piece. Experimenting with this is on one of my lists for future projects. 🙂

A sci-fi landscape, Lisa! The way you captured the textures and different forms is masterful. I also love it in black and white.

Thanks, Paula! I agree this does have a little bit of a sci-fi feeling to it. 🙂 I like the color version because it reminds me of standing there but the contrasts are more striking in black and white. I’m glad you think it works!
