Sunset by the Seaside: Gradient Vs B&W Photography!

Hello Everyone! Witnessing the beautiful sunset by the beach... Seashore...seaside... is the most astonishing experience... I must say!!!

See it... to...Believe it...!!! Am pretty sure... Its definitely going to be the most memorable moment!!!

As the big great sun super graciously immersed below the horizon, casting its absolutely warm, golden yellow and orange hues… across the extensive and most colorful canvas of the magnificent sky, a truly breathtaking scene… literally unfolded along the tranquil beach in #Pattaya, #Thailand

The ultra cool air was infused with a wonderfully serene tranquility and calmness, as the gentle waves musically caressed the sea shore, leaving behind the sparkling trails of silver foam…everywhere for a while and the coming again to do this greatest wave dance by the beach! Truly amazed!

The vast vast sky above was such a #masterpiece, greatly decorated with a #kaleidoscope of vivid and vibrant #colors that totally mirrored the #artist's palette, in the most marvelous way.

A #gradient of fiery yellows, oranges and pinks amalgamated impeccably with the fading blue, forming a mesmerizing #spectacle that painted the heavens…OMG! Wish you were there…to see it…to believe it…!

Though a picture can be a true representation of the actual scene, but being there and witnessing the great moment is one most awesome experience…in itself! Isn’t it! Of course…it is! Trust me!

The giant fireball…The Sun… a molten #sphere of radiance, highlighting the gentle #ripples in the wet shore of the untiring waves…coming & going…again and again and again! Just Wowww !!!

Nevertheless, amidst this #celestial display, pleasing my senses to the core and there was a delicate spectacle unfolding…gradually…at its own pace…!!! The Dark, #majestic clouds gathered on the #horizon, adding an #element of #mystery to the #scene…how wonderfully, the nature changes and transforms…itself, is literally amazing.

You keep on gazing these beautiful changes, happening every single minute and stay enchanted.

These wonderful and impressive #clouds, like charcoal strokes on a big great canvas, gracefully contrasted with the #vibrant #hues of the #sunset, producing a fascinating combination of #light & #shadow…& I witnessed it…standing there…as long as I could… ! Believing it to be the sheer reality!!!

As the stunning #day bids its #farewell, the interaction of #colors truly deepened, with the shadowy clouds ultimately seizing the last residues of #sunlight, crafting a melodramatic “chiaroscuro effect”.

The connection of the “serene beach”, the “brilliant sunset”, and the “forthcoming clouds” splattered an astonishing portrait of #nature's dualism – a pleasant and super harmonious co-existence of tranquil beauty and calm intensity…that’s what the nature is...all about the show of powerful coexistence!

Here are some gradients that I gave created from my sunset capture and then there is monochrome... B&W transformation.

Hope you like them.

Thank you,
