Morning at the seaside in B&W
19

I don't always shoot in B&W but it was perfect for this morning's dramatic sky!

Lenses used: Rokinon 12mm f/2 (MF version, shot at f/8) and 18-55.

Comments and critique are welcome.

In camera or software conversion? If in camera Acros or Monochrome and any color (Ye etc) filter set? Nice job, contrast is not overcooked.

Thank you. These are post processed with Acros (+ red filter) as a starting point. On some of those I had to increase the contrast quite a bit, I'm glad to hear it's not too much.

The first is amazing!  I love the juxtaposition of natural v the checker pattern

Many thanks Morris, the first one is also my favorite and that's why I put it first!
