The Wave (B&W)

[Michael Pancier]

The Wave was my photographic pinnacle in 2008. What a place. I decide to try a B&W conversion of one of my shots.

Here it is...

5d + 17-40L @ 17mm
f/22
1/15
polarizer
ISO 200

I used Nik Silver Efx Pro to convert to B&W
used red filter & Tmax 100 filter

Happy Holidays

Beautiful Michael!! This image lends itself well to the effects you applied.

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Michael,
Never thought I'd say this......because I really like it in color........but this turned out even better in B&W. Really accentuates the lines and the formations have a nice flow also.

[Julie Kenward]

I love it, too. I wish there weren't the vertical striations on the left side to break up the flow of all that horizontal action but it's beautiful, nonetheless.

[Gus Cobos]

Excellent Michael..The wave looks like fluid motion...congrats...the texture is superb and the contrast in monochrome puts it over the top...this one is better than the one in color...:cool:

[Bogdan Coltea]

Beautiful, dramatic and dynamic image. Like it all the way.
