17 September, 2010 – Definitive Black and White with Nik Silver EFEX Pro

17 Oct

Over the past several years new software options have become available for converting RGB images into Black and White.

One of the most versatile programs on the market for doing this is NIK Silver EFEX Pro. It has developed an avid user base, including our regular contributor, Mark Segal, who today takes us through the full preparation of an image to demonstrate key aspects of the program’s creative possibilities.

 

"Awesome video presentation.
 
I have learnt so much more after looking through this on the weekend.  The tip about pushing blacks and fill light in the Basic Module was worth the price alone.  My images of a recent trip to the Australian Outback are popping and punching with delight!
 
Thanks Michael and Jeff – I really appreciate you taking the considerable time to share your in-depth knowledge and insights."

Petrified Textures – White Sands National Monument

22 Sep

Truer words have never been spoken and such was my time in White Sands National Monument, New Mexico …

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs.
When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.
– Ansel Adams

Snakehead Yardang, White Sands National Monument

30 Apr

In 2004 I stumbled upon an incredibly interesting area of White Sands National Monument while hiking out into the 360 square miles park, an area I can only describe as an ancient dune field. When I first discovered this area I photographed one of the many yardangs I found in this isolated area (see photo #2 in My Top 5 Favorite Photographs and Accompanying Stories), but upon my return in April of 2010 the formation I originally photographed had been eroded into oblivion and was gone forever. I have to admit I was really bummed the formation was no longer present, but that disappointment soon transformed into an adrenaline fueled high as I discovered yardang after yardang the farther I hiked out.

Snakehead Yardang, White Sands National Monument

One of the more fascinating yardangs I found and photographed was one that resembled a snakehead emerging from a 60 foot dune. I took care to photograph various compositions of this fragile sand formation and cherished the fact that no one would ever see this formation in the exact same way. As I discovered while visiting the area of my last yardang photo these formations  are here one day and gone another. The winds of the Tularosa Basin simultaneously shapes and destroys the landscape providing a unique experience with every visit. It is for this reason that every visit to White Sands National Monument is as exciting as the first.

White Sands Textures I

03 Mar

The dunes of White Sands National Monument in New Mexico are an endless fascination of mine. The landscape here is full of paradoxes. The regularity of irregular patterns formed by the wind create incredibly photogenic sand patterns. The rolling dunes provide an infinite fabric to catch contrasty shadows in the sand patterns throughout the day making optimal lighting virtually an all day affair. Yet what I love most about this terrain is the ability to find simplicity amid the complexity.

The Color of Black and White (Photoshop)

I imagined for a moment what these famous individuals might have looked like the moment before the photographer shot the colorless images which have lasted far and beyond the people they captured. In this set: Clara Bow, Lillian Gish, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt), Abraham Lincoln, Rudolph Valentino, Joan Crawford, Jean Harlow, Harry Houdini, Indian Chief, and Claudius Nero Germanicus Theme music “Sunlit Porch” can now be found here: www.emusic.com www.rhapsody.com www.amazon.com amiestreet.com iTunes phobos.apple.com
