My Image - Your Look: The Black Beach at Vik

mcveed Loc: Kelowna, British Columbia (between trips)
 
Have fun trying to make a presentable picture out of this raw (dmg) file. This is the famous/renown/sometimes mentioned back beach at Vik on the south coast of Iceland. The sea stacks are also famous/renown/sometimes mentioned. This was taken on a rainy blustery day and this is, believe it or not, a colour image.

The link to the DNG file is: http://www.dropbox.com/sh/kwpts8ou0cqofqj/AACFQs1ohu33_mMJMKaQ8PMKa?dl=0

I'll be interested in seeing what you come up with when I get back from the Galapagos.

You have until midnight, Thursday PT to post them here then we'll turn it in for a vote.

This looked like fun. It was! There was color in the cliffs but to bring it out brought too much noise with it. What to do? FOG!

I don't have very good pp skills at this point but I really wanted to try my hand at this one. Here is my take. Nothing wild here.

Admittedly neither do I, but where better to learn and grow your skills? S-

My thoughts exactly. I have some medical leave time coming up and I figure it is as good a time as any to spend watching You Tube videos to get better.

Off hand, I'd say you underestimate your ability!

In LR - every thing zeroed, cropped, and a basic levels and contrast adjustment. The downsized for web publication and exported as a 8 bit tiff.

In Corel Painter Autopaint was used, with a thick camel cloner brush, to give it a "painterly" look.

Back into PS CC and a SilverEfex preset was used for a b&W conversion on a new layer. Then the opacity of that layer was reduced to allow just a very faint hint of colour.

Gave it some definite unreality PP!
Sorry mcveed I just could not get into your image so took it to Billys world. Sincerely hope you are OK with that.

I failed on a couple of attempts to draw color out of it, so when my new version of Tonality came by email I experimented with it. I'm disappointed though, with my version. It looks like a fascinating place.
