Fading In The Shadows by

Canon 50D | ISO 100 | f22 | 15 | 10mm | nd400 | Lee 0.6 and 0.9 Soft Grads

<i>Slipping fast
Down with his ship
Fading in the shadows
- Metallica, Unforgiven III</i>

After a recent visit to Point Cartwright, we thought we might as well stop by and check the SS Dicky for some more nd400 and Lee fun. The tide was fantastic – beautifully lapping around the wreck. I was thinking I needed another element to this shot and so Kane decided to jump in and stand still for a lot of time. He did cop a good number of waves and was a very still model. Natutal light rays in the sky provided by the sun passing through some clouds. The dark patch is a little annoying in the top right, but alas the interest in the image is enough I hope :)

<b>Processing</b>

Clarity, black and white, cool WB tones, more gradient in the sky, sharpening.
