Rankin Ridge with Overcast Skies One May Afternoon (Black & White, Wind Cave National Park)
Because of the weather patterns present that day (and much in the coming week too), I wasn't really able to capture an image that I'd wanted with either blue skies or one with clouds to compliment landscape of this national park. So I decided to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward to minimize that in this view and focus more on the hillsides, valleys and draws to my front. This is a view looking to the east while hiking the Rankin Ridge Nature Trail. I later did a conversion to black & white using Silver Efex Pro 2 where I used some color filters to bring out a much richer tonal contrast for the final image.
Because of the image theft by PhotoElite (stock.adobe.com/uk/contributor/206913296/photoelite?load_...), I am removing the CC license I previous had for all my images. I believe in the CC license, but this person, claiming my images as his, has ruined that. If you are a non-profit or wish to use my images in such a capacity, please contact me privately. My original desire remains the same in sharing the images I capture that reflect the natural beauty I've experience traveling this planet.
