Edited MODIS Terra PR image of part of Namibia. Color/processing variant.
Original caption: The reds and oranges of the Namibian landscape form a starkly beautiful image when viewed from space. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Terra satellite acquired this true-color image of southwestern Namibia on May 21, 2018.
The Republic of Namibia sits along southern Africa’s Atlantic coast. Just offshore the cold Benguela Current flows northward from the south, effectively suppressing rainfall and giving rise to the arid Namib Desert. The Namib Desert, with its soft orange sands lies along the coast. The desert ends abruptly with the rocky outcrops and lines of broken cliffs called the Great Escarpment. Further inland the Great Escarpment gives way to a high-elevation central plateau. While little rain falls in the highlands, it is enough to allow the growth of vegetation which appears as a faint wash of green in this image.

Many of the photos I’ve made did not qualify as excellent color photos, but some of them deserve a second chance in Black & White. Over the years I have made many wildlife photos which never made it onto my Flickr page. Sometimes the sun wasn’t bright enough to bring the colours to shine, sometimes there was too much heat in the air or too much dust and sometimes the subject just matched so well the color of the the scenery that it was rather monochrome. There are more possibilities of adjustment in B&W than in color without overdoing it. Actually, once you are happy with the adjustments of a photo in B&W you should turn it to color again. You will be surprised how terrible it might look. But analog B&W photographers have been using these technics for a century. They were using color filters: green, orange, yellow and so on but also polarisation filters more often than today. They had also the chance to influence the results of the photography when developing the film and while printing it. The adjustments I have taken were all done in Lightroom.
