kitchen-sink_5.inspi_p2_10Black and white

kitchen-sink_5.inspi_p_10

The weather brings a lot of the drama to this image and the new ClearView slider in Nik Silver Efex was used to draw out extra detail in the clouds, creating mood through the increased contrast. It also finds a little more clarity from the sweeping landscape in the background that was being lost to the misty conditions. Some heavy grain was then added, a characteristic of shooting on high ISO film stock.

An alternative edit was made using a filter in Nik Analog Efex to give the impression that this photo comes straight from the album of an early 20th century explorer, conjuring a sense of mountaineering’s rich history.
