A black-and-white photograph of a forested ravine where a large tree clings to a rocky outcrop, its exposed roots twisting and gripping the stone. Bare branches fill the background, creating a dense lattice against the pale sky, while rough textures of bark, rock, and soil dominate the foreground. The composition emphasizes resilience and age through strong contrast and organic lines.

The black-and-white image depicts a serene lakeside scene with a backdrop of rocky hills and dense pine trees. In the foreground, a man, a woman, and a dog are sitting on a paddle board, paddling on the calm lake. Other small boats and people can be seen scattered across the lake and along the shoreline. The sky is filled with fluffy clouds, casting soft shadows over the landscape. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and leisurely, suggesting a day of outdoor recreation and enjoyment.

The photos for each panorama were taken by a DJI Mini 2 drone shooting in raw (DNG) format. ISO was fixed at 100 and the aperture for each photo was 2.8. Shutter speeds varied from 1/2000 to 1/3200 S. The photos were then post-processed in Luminar 4.
I’m partial to the monochromatic version myself. What about you?
The original of this photo had a lot more detail, but I liked the way it looked when I applied a “toy camera” effect to it and converted it to this shade of black and white.
