Diamond Beach
Diamond Beach.. Finally! I've been seeing pictures of this beach for years, and I was finally able to capture this myself.
We went twice in the morning, and each time we had a beautiful sunrise.
It's a special place because it's so iconic, you want to get out of there having taken some great photos, but I can tell you that it's not easy. Given that "all photos have already been taken on this beach"; it's not easy to get out of there with an original photo that would come out of what is usually done. So there is a little pressure there.
Then it's clearly not easy to photograph. You have to manage to juggle the waves (have the right timing to capture a beautiful movement in the water), the other photographers (some don't hesitate to stand right in front of the shot you want to take, or in any case, being in the frame), and the difference in brightness between the clear sky and the foreground which is still dark (at sunrise).
(Note to myself for next time: having Softer ND filters and also Soft grads ND filters, rather than Hard ones, would make it easier to juggle with settings)
These different factors make that the pressure is there, and when I came back from that beach, despite having taken far too many photos, I was not even sure of having 1 picture that was going to meet my expectations...
Luckily in the end I was surprised during the photo editing, there are several photos that I like and that I want to share with you!
