The companion to Grey Atlantic #1, this is of course a horizontal/landscape orientation. A little more dramatic, perhaps, than the previous one, it has more earth and trees in it, and the those areas, and some of the cloud areas, are rendered a little darker. I think that gives it perhaps a little more gravity than its companion.
A scene like this, to me, really drives home the wonderful tones inherent in the black and white process. As I have stated in other writings on this site, black and white was where I started, and where I did the majority of my photography for quite some time. and while probably 99% of my commercial work has been in color, I find myself returning to my black and white roots more and more.
