November 6, 2020 — Point Reyes National Seashore, California
Still absent from regular appearances in the blogosphere but I wanted to let you know that I’m still alive. Here’s a hint as to what I’ve been up to. A work in progress, but I’ll tell you: not a bit of color in this one, folks.
(Nikon D500, Tamron 100–400mm f/4.5–6.3 Di VC USD. RAW processing in DxO PhotoLab 4.0.2; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.)

Thank you very much. The monochromatic world has unique challenges but extraordinary rewards.

Hermes Trismegistus purportedly believed that “As above, so below.” That fits your image, which is made up of two stacked horizontal surfscapes—only the one above differs from the one below. Each could stand alone as a panorama.

Dramatic and just a little scary. I hope this wasn’t taken at close quarters.

That’s my feeling too. Thank you. About 300 yards away. 400 mm lens on a crop sensor body.

It’s a commonplace to say that the sea has many faces. It’s less common to see such varied expressions in a single image.

Thank you very much, Hedy. This black-and-white project is really putting me through some changes. Very low depths and very high highs. The overall trend is up, however. I am becoming a much better photographer for it. I hope to be posting blogs regularly soon.
