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.

Love the dramatic feel, I’m switching from android to iPhone soon 🙂
Thanks, Andy I hope you enjoy your switch! I love my iPhone. 🙂
Now that the iPhone 6 is finally coming out I’m sure I will too! I left it originally cause i wanted bigger screen and poof! 😀 lol
Yay! All you needed was a little bit of patience. 🙂
It paid off it seems, now i just gotta figure a way to get ahold of it outside my contract lol
A good point. 🙂 I’m looking for something to trade in and bring the price down a little…
That’s the beauty of Apple products, they are like buying a good car because they retain value 🙂
This is an amazing shot and I want to go walk barefoot there.
Thanks, Ruth. My feet were bare the entire time we were on this beach. 🙂
That’s just otherworldly. Fantastic.
Thanks, Jim. 🙂
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.
Wonderful in black and white!
Thanks so much, Angeline!
I can just feel that texture under my feet! I think it’s time for a trio to the ocean…
I always think it’s time for a trip to the ocean. 😉
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. 😉
I love the iphone camera, can’t wait to get the 6, wondering though about the Samsung Galaxy also, heard the photo’s are good. I think the photo of the beach is amazing, such beautiful detail and I always love a B&W photo.
Thanks so much for your nice comments and visit today. I always enjoy seeing a familiar scene transformed into something new by black and white and am looking forward to trying the new 6 too. 🙂
This picture is frame-worthy, Lisa.
It’s great to hear you like it, Andra. 🙂
Amazing shot, Lisa! You have raised the bar for the iPhone photography!
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. 🙂
Gorgeous light and texture in these shots! Lovely. What time of day did you take them?
It’s great to hear you like this post, Patti! We were at the beach during late afternoon and I think this shot was taken about 4:30.
Great perspective and shots, Lisa! Love the texture you got.

Thanks, Janet it’s so nice to know you like it!
I love the texture and perspective — great shot!
Thanks, Cindi. 🙂
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. 🙂
Your composition is great and the lighting and textures are wonderful. Congratulations on this image.
Thanks so much for your nice comments, Allan they mean a lot to me coming from such a talented photographer.
A fantastically unique landscape.
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. 🙂
Ohh, that sounds like a wonderful idea! I can picture it already 🙂
If I finally get something pulled together I’ll take a picture. 🙂
I want to get my toes wet right now! (even in black and white 🙂 )
The water was warm from the sun on the sand, it felt great. 🙂
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!
