This is my final image from Rebecca Spit on Quadra Island, BC. Really. Well … for this year’s trip anyway.
Please click the image to view a larger version.
This is a high dynamic range image made by combining 3 exposures in Photomatix. Then I brought the resulting HDR image into Nik Silver Efex Pro where I converted it to black and white and treated it with some coffee coloured toning. I really like the coffee shade – it is not quite as brown as sepia and just adds a little warmth to the grey tones.
Rebecca Spit has quickly become one of my favourite places to photograph so I’m sure I will visit again when I am back in BC next summer. It’s hard to believe I only have 7 weeks left in BC before heading back down south to enjoy a warm winter and do some more exploring in the desert.

Terrific use of black and white. I really like this composition.

Thank you so much Ken. The dramatic clouds certainly added a lot to the scene. There’s nothing worse than white sky so I was really glad the clouds came in and added some drama.
A really dramatic B&W image. I like the composition and the sky is magnificent.

Thank you Andy, I always appreciate your comments! I think I’m finally starting to convert some black and white that I am happy with. It has taken awhile!
Sweet image, Anne. The processing was perfect for this dynamic sky. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much Bill, I appreciate that!
I love your coffee toning- you should make a Lightroom preset (assuming that it is what you used)… I wouldn’t mind downloading it
.
I often find pure black and white conversions lacking something, depth maybe, and subtle coloring always fixes that.

Hi Iza, actually I used Nik Silver Efex Pro to do the conversion to black and white and add the coffee toning. I’m glad you liked the image, thanks for the feedback.
