Pacific Evening Mist (Best Viewed Large)

Many of you around here know that I prefer colorful images. A

polarizer and Velvia have always been speacial friends to me...

despite a few daring opposers of that combo. This image here however

just seems to work for me in B&W. This was taken without any

filters, captured with Velvia and converted to B&W. This will be the

first Black and white offered in our print line. I've thought about

a name extensively yet just not found one that feels right.

Therefore, am welcoming any suggestions you might want to offer.

Evening Mist, Peaceful Pacific, Endless Horizon are just a few

thoughts in my mind, feel free to offer anything that might work.

Any other suggestions about the image or this conversion are also

greatly apprecaited. Many mahalos.

Amazing image, wonderful exposure and powerful elements! 7/6

good job

That's wonderful.

"When Sky Meets Earth" would be my pick. The clouds/mist converging at the horizon lead me to that name. I like the long exposure and the B&W works well. I think the B&W does a good job of keeping the focus on the clouds and mist. Great mood. The highlights really pull my eye into the photo adding to its depth. Very nice work.

Here is the original with color. I like this one as well. It is always possible I will use both, but since we have zero B&W at this time in our print line, that is what interests me the most with this image. Thanks again.

What a picture!!! Wish I could have taken it.

excellent B&W.....!!!!!!

...Fantastic shot Vincent....I like the tones!

Good!

Yeah, Vincent ... you could sell either the color version or the B&W quite easily!!! This is fabulous ... works VERY well in B&W. I would say that, for the caption, some use of the idea of infinity ("never ending" or "end of the sky" or something like that) and/or the idea of horizon need to come into play. I'm not a wordsmith ... but this image really takes me in those two directions (infinity & horizon). Wonderful work as usual!! :-)

Great picture...

I prefer it in BW.

Rocks' disposition brings a lot of perspective which enhance the wide angle effect

Definitelly better in BW, looking forward for more... Jiri

Vincent- Super image. Not a thing I don't like about it. Like both the B&W and the color. One question, is there a slight wide angle bow to the horizon, or is it just me? Getting older you know!

'Pacific Mist'........ 'Creation' .......... 'The 7th Day' and 'Dorky Photog' all come to mind for a title but I'll ponder it further ............. sol

 

If I scroll the image to the top - the horizon looks undistorted to me ........... However, if you place a level on Jayme's head - you see a slight lean to the left ... !

 

(-;

B & W looks far better Vincent , superb image ..

I prefer the b&w also.

Ken-please don't make fun of my head, I can't help it if my silly parents dropped me! They did the best they could, espically since I was raised by wolves or was that sheep? LOL Explains a lot of things about me!

Vincent, both version are really good. And the B&W looks even better.

You've matched the rocks and clouds well, here, and I prefer the B&W to the colour...

 

Names, let's think... My First B&W!, Peaks Amongst the Clouds, Causeway, A Causeway Carries Me Off To Heaven, B&W Seascape #1 or B&W Cloudscape #1(hehehe), em, damn this difficult... Touch the Sky, Path Through the Mists(of Depression)...

 

Hang on, do I get some of the sales money if I name this thing? What! Why you little... I'm outa here!

Superb image!!

The rocks walk your eyes out to "Somewhere". Ok, my hoaky shot at the title. Vincent, marvelous work as always. -Scott

Nice shot!!

That is too funny....I admire people who with good sense of humor. :-)) And you are right about slight bow on the horizon.
