goodnight sun

An attempt at my get-pushed challenge from Paul Myers of an Ansel Adams inspired landscape with as many of the 14 tonal ranges as possible.

@webfoot from white to black and lots of shades in between, is there too much mid-dark grey though? can you recommend any web resources good for learning about the tonal zones he used?

[Heidi]

Very cool. Great shot!

[Kathy Basigkow]

Beautiful shot!

[Call me Joe]

Fabulous !!

[Taffy]

I think you've caught many nuanced differences in the shades of gray between the white and black. Works for the challenge and the book club!

[Hope D Jennings]

What an amazingly impressive response to your challenge ! So dramatic.love it.fav

[Gena Pegg]

Stunning!!!!!!!!!! FAV

[Wendy Bowden]

The light is wonderful, brilliant shot

[Paul Myers]

OMG! This is splendid, perhaps slightly dark but if you lightened it at all, then you've be washing out that sun, so I'd leave it like it is. What a wonderful shot and great job on the push.

Not sure if I know of any resources right off the top of my head, although I've seen a couple of books that have tonal ranges in them you could probably check.

Great job. I'm still working on mine and might not get to it until the weekend.

@webfoot yes that is the thing with sunset shots, always end up erring on the side of darkness, thankyou, glad you like it

Amazing shot, love it!

[Yao RL]

It is very close to the artist work. if the contrast is less, you may get more mid tones - my guess only. Suberb shot.

[Rachel]

love the dark tones, stunning shot

[Maggie]

Lovely landscape and the "god-light" so well captured.

[Stephanie Swift]

[Kiran]

Beautiful landscape, Kali! I like it the way it is, dark and moody, yet striking. All those tonal ranges are just outstanding.

[Ingrid Budge]

Sunsets in black and white are awesome - this has worked so beautifully

[Ann]

Would love to have this to photograph. Overall impression it leans toward a darker image yet that influences the mood. As for the tonal range, I think if you can get a hold of the actual grey scale then scan it into your software used then this can be a start. Just a thought.

looks fabulous in b&w.
