The Storm Wall
Uploaded: December 05, 2006
A violent St. Mary Lake, in Glacier National Park, as a winter storm blasts in furiously from the West. Shooting into the teeth of 40+MPH winds and struggling to control spray from the 5-foot waves I rendered this dramatic and evocative image which communicates my stuggle with the elements and the essence of a powerful impending storm.
17-40L at 40mm. 3-stop ND Grad filter + polarizer. 1 second at F18.

Nice! This is awesome! Did you use Photoshop? #3670486Marc E. Adamus December 05, 2006
Fawn, you cannot not use Photoshop (or similar editing programs). This is a digital image and a conversion to B&W could only be done in post processing. #3671567Stacy Lankford February 17, 2007
