Catherine Dillon, Continuum (OCEAN - Entries close 30 Nov 2026)

An overcast day made for very little demarcation between the sea and the sky and I wanted to create an image with a dreamy aesthetic by blurring the lines between the sand, the sea, and the sky, still further so that the jetty appeared to almost hover in space.  Olympus OMD EM 5, Mk2; 12-40mm f/2.8 at 26mm and f6.3, 1/250, shot in colour, LR conversion to BnW, cropped, decreased texture and clarity to create dreamy look, lifted point curve, finessed lights and shadows, B&W mix and colour grading to remove colour changes between the sand, sea and sea
