This shot is usually taken in color but works well in black and white because of the shade contrasts. This was taken with a Nikon D 300 and Nikkor Zoom lens (18-200 mm.0, with a Tiffen Circular Polarizer. The ISO was 400, F/9, 1/4 second exposure and a Focal Length of 32 mm. I used a Gitzo Tripod and Arca-Swiss Head.
