I don&#8217;t think it was quite as bad as originally forecast on Gower and the worse of the weather seemed to head further north and not along the Bristol Channel as initially thought. With the light being quite dull and relatively flat, lacking the contrast of sunlight images, I knew the finished images would be in black &amp; white.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4606\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Rhossili-Bay20160327_DSC3775-400x600.jpg\" alt=\"Rhossili Bay20160327_DSC3775\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Rhossili-Bay20160327_DSC3775-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Rhossili-Bay20160327_DSC3775-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.gowerphotography.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Rhossili-Bay20160327_DSC3775.jpg 667w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Black &amp; white has allowed me to boost the contrast to highlight the difference between the white waves and the darker land. Increasing the contrast this amount on a colour image isn&#8217;t possible, the image just looks wrong and over processed.
