The silky white water in Gedor National Park was a beautiful sight to behold. On a cloudy day, the light from the first sun spread all around, creating a moody atmosphere that was perfect for capturing this stunning scenery.
I decided to turn my camera to face south, focusing on the line of rocks that jutted out of the water from left to right in a horizontal view. The long hills beside the coastline in the background to the left and the big rock in the foreground to the right provided a good balance to the composition.
I particularly loved this angle of the beach as it allowed me to see the land compared to the sea in profile. Starting with a fast shutter speed of 1/200 sec, I took pictures of the waves crashing onto the rocks and beach to capture focused and crisp waves. Afterward, I experimented with slower shutter speeds, capturing two shots - one with a shutter speed of 13 sec and the other of 15 sec, more towards the sea. I tried different shutter speeds, but these were the best results.
Later on, during the editing process, I decided to combine the two shots to create a more panoramic look that symbolized the way I scanned this part of the beach with my eyes. Since it was a very cloudy day, the look of the whole session was pretty monochromatic, and I decided to switch to a black and white look.
Overall, I was pleased with the result, and I was pretty excited about it since this panorama represented the way I looked at this southern beach, from land to sea.
