Premium Outdoor Experiences at Big Bend National Park (Black & White, Big Bend National Park)
A setting looking to the west-northwest as the sun just starting setting behind the Chisos Mountains from an overlook along the Window View Trail in Big Bend National Park. My thinking in composing this image was to capture the varied landscape leading up to the peaks and ridges present in the basin and mountains. I closed down on the aperture so that I could create more of a starburst effect with the sun and light.
Some editing was required in Photoshop to minimize the lens artifacts created from the sun. I later did a conversion to black & white using Silver Efex Pro 3 where I made some adjustments to color filters to bring out a much richer tonal contrast for the final image.
