Samoa Black Sand Beach Photo

Photographer’s Note

Savaii Island has both types of beach - white coral beaches in the north and black volcanic beaches in the south. This one was close to the famous blowholes and very hard to find since not visible from the road. The locals had removed the signpost- threw it into a bush and so I found it by accident only.
It is very hard to show both - the structure and shades on the beach and the south pacific clouds but her again a circular polarize filter helped to bring out the magic of mother earth. Hope you like it.

Muito interessante essa imagem, as texturas, contrastes e a posição do motivo no quadro são fortes. Gosto da atmosfera que a imagem transmite.
Lindo trabalho Thomas.
