Long Lost

Wells Falls, Ithaca, NY

Even when the light is favorable, I’m really liking my waterfalls in monochrome. Not all of them but the color in this scene was very distracting to me. Easy fix, remove the color. Bam!

Harbor Moodiness

Monochrome
Bellamy Harbor Park

The forecast was not looking good for the morning. A weather alert about low visibility due to fog had me thinking I would not get a sunrise image. As the time for the sun arrived I had a thought, why not images of the fog? I started thinking on ways to process the images, obviously they would be monochrome, and of course it had to be down at Bellamy Harbor Park.

Get dressed!

On it. Camera ready?

Yes! Silly question…

Off I went into the early morning to Bellamy Harbor for “sunrise” images. It was a good decision. There was no sun and I could see the fog coming up the canal. I looked for images with contrast that would process well as monochrome. You can see how the fog increased as the morning progressed. These are in chronological order…
