This week’s Episode: Cold & Mood

The scene was flatter than a flat earther theory, so I had to look for something to add some depth to the shot, The waves were what attracted me, and as I saw a lone Seagull fly by, I quickly grabbed the shot of it over two breaking waves. For the edit, I wanted to make this an even colder shot and add some mood to the frame. I also wanted to remove some of the noise that was in the shot as I took it at 1/1000 of a second, and my ISO was at 1000, too. Yes, it was that dark and moody at the time. I followed my normal editing process for this one but played with the colour pallet to produce this final shot.
