Moonshine in B&W

[MonikaC]

Moonshine Wash slot canyon, that is.
The textures in the narrows were good enough that I didn't feel the need to wait for the reflected light on the walls.

Nice conversion.

Looks like moon shine with this B&W processing - nice one.

You fooled me Monika! I was thinking this was going to be a night time shot lit up by the moon!

This is sure very cool. What a super neat canyon. I really like the way the B&W works here, great choice.

Very nice light and dark contrast.

I expected the title would confuse people -- makes it fun!

The narrows section was much longer than I'd expected, so it was a treat to find it kept going.

Thanks, everyone!

Great image and wonderful tones.

Great shot, and I really loved your story with the dog in your original Moonshine post. Funny that no-one else noticed, but what is up with the faint grid on the left hand shadowed wall? It is too regular to be natural.

Cool shot it works well in B&W!

I'm not seeing the faint grid you mention. Can you direct me to them? I actually had taken detail out & increased the blacks on that left wall. Oh, now that I look at it at 50%, I see them. Some kind of PP artifact. I'll see what I can do about them.

This is so inviting. I want to hike through....

I am seeing a light grid like pattern, though quite faint. It could be a natural. phenomenon, from seeing the similar checking on the right side. It is just uniform enough to be questioning.

Thanks, guys. Looks like it's back to the drawing board....... No, really, I appreciate it -- that's what this is for, right?

I finally got around to reprocessing it, trying to avoid the grid lines. I had to leave it really dark in order to do that. Then I Googled the issue: it's a GPU problem with Silver Efex and since my MacPro is a 2013, I can't update any more.........I may have to hook up my dock to the monitor & bring my laptop home from the office since I certainly can't afford the new Mac Pros.

edit: After 2 updates & about 3 hours (older one 1st, then the current one) I was able to update, so maybe I'll be able to use SilverEfex without the gridlines appearing)
