After an ardous 6 hour trek to the summit, I just bowed down and offered my prayers to mother earth for making it possible 1809.

I have shared couple of images here 사업계획서 다운로드. I have always found it difficult to choose between  what images are right candidates for black and white and what images capture the true essence of the scene when presented in color Pokemon Gold.

As I see it, there is a subtle yet significant difference between black and white and monochrome. For me the latter strikes a chord and it is a way to present images in ‘Single color’ !

Thoughts behind the presentation of these images:

I have retained the the first image in color because I personally felt that the colors I witnessed during the sunrise and the mood of the scene that played with my emotions is best conveyed when I present it in color. It was a feeling of ‘inner awakening’ for me.

Bringing out the monochrome effect in my second image, I tend to convey the ‘cold’ winter morning that I experienced atop this mountain. For me it resonates with the difficulty a mountain poses in front of a trekker, challenges faced overcoming the hurdle and raw unforgiving power of nature!

Use of light:

During my time well spent here, I experienced different lighting conditions. From soft warm light of the early morning to harsh afternoon sun to faint afterglow an evening before! I strongly believe that to be a well seasoned nature photographer, one should learn to shoot and bring out the real essence of the scene by shooting in all lighting conditions. Most important aspects of photography when we talk about lighting is white balance.

Nature’s inherent nature of ‘morphing’ of color temperature from sunrise to sunset tend to convey and influence subtle differences in our moods as well.
