A Quiet Study of Moody Black and White Along the Maine Coast
On a calm October afternoon near Cushing, Maine, I captured this image along the rugged Atlantic coastline. The skies were heavy with soft, overcast light—muting the typical autumn colors and transforming the landscape into a natural monochrome scene.
Instead of chasing vibrant foliage, I let the coastline’s textures and contours guide my eye. The rocks, sea, and sky blended into a serene palette of grays, creating a minimalist composition that highlights mood over color. The actual phrase moody black and white jumped out at me.
Vertical Composition in the “Grey Atlantic” Series
Grey Atlantic #1, a moody Black and White is the vertical piece in a pair of companion images. Its sibling, Grey Atlantic #2, presents a horizontal view captured just one minute later. Each photograph offers a different sense of balance and perspective, but both invite quiet reflection on the subtle beauty of Maine’s coastal landscape.
