Wabi-sabi, maybe?


Here is another image from the series I captured on my trip to the beach a while back, in black and white this time to allow us to move past the lovely color of the light. When looking at this image, I do think there is a nice balance among the excellent resolution and contrast produced by the lens, the crisp detail revealed by the sensor (no anti-aliasing filter), and the small amount of sensor noise. Perfection and imperfection in balance, you might say. The overall aesthetic is very pleasing to my eye. There's only one problem. Soon after this trip, I dropped the camera on a hard surface and it was never quite the same after that, to the point that I ended up selling it for parts.

Tasting notes: Panasonic G9 with 15mm f/1.7 lens, ISO 640.
