In the Mood
I don’t typically post black and white photos… but I am intrigued by the world of monochrome images and would like to do more. So, here is one feeble attempt. The mist hanging around lake Crescent that morning was wonderful, and we spent hours photographing this location.
I used a long shutter speed to remove distracting ripples from the water, and then converted the image to black and white with NIK Software’s SilverEFex Pro. My goal was to create a dark, moody scene. Once the conversion was complete, I made targeted adjustment to the highlights and shadows in Photoshop.
I grew up not far from Olympic Nat’l Park, so this image brings back great memories. I love your technique. It reminds me a lot of Cole Thompsons’ work. Excellent photograph, and I hope you do more monochrome. This is just gorgeous.

Thanks for the comments Dave. Glad you enjoyed the image….I will have to try more B/Ws.
It’s a BEAUTIFUL “attempt”. You are a great post editor. Thank you for your recommendations on my upcoming trip. I am going in June.
You are welcome. Good luck in Olympic…it is very beautiful. My favorite time to go there is in month of may.
