Hi. I don't recall the settings but I think what was important was how to get a light reading in this situation. I chose to do an averaged incident reading with a hand-held meter of the light coming from the sunset, then opened up a couple of stops to compensate for the reflectiveness off the water and to allow some detail in the sand. I suppose that an in-camera reflective reading would have required a spot metering of a middle tone of the scene - in this case I would have chosen the water surface - and again opened up a stop or two.

I like it, but I think it would be better if the shadows were darker. I think you should do a little levels adjesment and make the darks really dark.

This was shot with Fuji Reala - some old film I was trying to get rid of. Normally, I shoot slides for color - Velvia, Kodak EC, etc. No real preference. For B&W, I have recently been using Kodak TMAX 100 and 400 but still prefer the scanning capabilities of C-41 B&W - my choice is Kodak's CN400.
