Love of black sand

    There is something about the waves hitting land that fascinates us humans. I love the contrast of the white foamy sea versus the pure black sand. Perhaps this is a love of contrast.
    My favorite spot is on the other side of this mountain: www.flickr.com/photos/andriel/2841781095/

    Shot at dark, 2 sec long exposure, iso 50, f/6.3, 15 mm.
    This one is taken with the widest angle lens there is, fisheye.

      já eins og þú segir eru andstæðurnar miklar í svörtum sandinum og hvítum öldunum. Linsan gefur skemmtilegt sjónarhorn. Glæsileg mynd!!

      Já ég elska líka andstæðurnar í svörtum kuldanum og hvíta ísnum. Reyndar er landið allt hlaðið andstæðum. Eldur, ís.
