This is a black-and-white seascape photograph taken on a beach near Pisa in Italy. The three-second exposure creates a soft, ethereal effect as the waves blur into misty flows around a prominent dark rock formation that dominates the centre of the frame. The long exposure transforms the turbulent sea into smooth, dreamy layers of white water that swirl around the jagged silhouette of the rock.
The image was captured from a tripod during challenging conditions with large waves, using a Nikon Z7 and Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S lens at 70mm, f/16, and ISO 64. The longer focal length compared to the companion image compresses the perspective and isolates the central rock formation, creating a more intimate composition. Careful timing and quick reflexes were required to lift the tripod when larger waves approached, in order to keep the camera dry.
The monochrome treatment emphasises the dramatic contrast between the solid, dark rock and the fluid movement of the water, while the narrow aperture ensures sharpness throughout the scene. The composition captures a moment of dynamic tension on the Tuscan coastline, where the permanence of stone meets the constant motion of the sea.
This photograph is available to purchase as an art print, framed print, canvas print, wood print, metal print or acrylic print, all offered in multiple sizes.
