Guincho

On our third day we had the worst weather of our holiday. It was a mixture of dull grey skies and rain, not the best for landscape photography. During the day we went to Lisbon which for sure must look a lot better under a sunny sky. On our way back along the coast the sky got a little more structure and we stopped at Praia da Guincho to take some shots. Although the sunset light came through a bit it was nothing compared to the other shots I posted till now. So here BW was the only solution. There were quite some waves and I focused on catching some nice backflow around the jagged rocks. With some contrast added in postproc even the sky looks a bit interesting and I think all in all I got quite a decent shot, better than nothing ;-)

Photo Details: hoya hd pol + Lee 0.6 hard gnd + wet shoes and trousers ;-) It's quite funny when you look through the viewfinder with a wide angle lense attached to your camera and some waves are rushing in.. .they still look so far away ... next you are wet at least up to your knees.

cheers
