The ethereal mist

B&W conversion of an image posted a little while back. This is definitely one of my favorites this year so far.

Its a cracking shot!!!

Bloody hell @lightandshadow – this is an epic shot.

Thank you. I do love the image and was pleased at the b&w conversion. The color is going into our State Fair in October. I’m sort of hoping it sells so I can get another version of it better framed than what I have already.

Yeah, it almost has a high key quality to it that I usually wouldn’t associate with epic landscape shots but this is well epic. Well done.

I remember the colour version Steve. This looks like a heavenly or out of the world place and very beautifully shot. Love it 🙂

Thanks. I was surprised at the fog when I arrived at the site  it didn’t last very long and I didn’t take the time to switch to a longer zoom lens. The full frame view has a lot of man-made object including power lines and towers. So much of my landscapes have sort of distorted the views of places I visit, making them appear wilder than they are.

Can imagine and understand that Steve. I love what you have captured and presented. A real treat to the eyes and very dreamy 🙂

Here’s the full size original image imported from my camera into Lightroom. The camera was zoomed out to its full 104mm extension. I may have been standing on a picnic table bench to shoot over the foreground grasses.

This all sort of harkens back to Miss Barbee, my 8th grade math teacher, telling us to “show your work” when doing long division problems.

My vote is certainly for the black-and-white version. I do remember it now that you’ve posted this one. Honestly, I didn’t even envision this as a black-and-white but those lighter tones probably should have triggered me to think of the high key editing you have done. Absolute brilliant conversion.

[LightandShadow]

Thank you. The color version posted actually had very little done by way of adjustment. Fog led to the high key tones in the b&w.

Wow! thank you for sharing Steve.
