This is from a previous trip to the dunes in November of 2014. I was astounded at the amount of animal life evidenced in this seemingly barren landscape by the covering of this dune wall with their tracks.
In processing I have fought and wrestled with this image. I didn't really want it to be black and white because it doesn't thereby really fit my "series" and anyway, the colour was good. However I tried, though, this image just demanded to be black and white.
There is an old quote from some famous photographer that goes something like, "When you photograph people in colour you capture their clothes. When you photograph people in black and white you capture their souls." Well, I'm a pretty colour-centric person but the subject here was the tracks and other textures on the dune and nothing in colour brings that out like the black and white version I hereby present to you...

This is my son who was patient enough to spend all that time up there whilst I fiddled around with this and that finding angles and such. Behind Connor is the coast guard station in the distance which is at the very top of the Zekreet peninsula. The tower itself is a disused observation tower which is quietly rusting away year by year.

One of the first films that I re-scanned when I got the G4050 (just like my crummy G4010 except for a real 4x5 film holder template and a Full Width transparency adapter). However, that scan has lingered until now. It has been the recipient of my new (old) DonzRGBActions C-Neg based negative conversion process.
Well, this is one of the films that I got drum scanned. However, there was so much localised processing that I did to get the HP scan where I wanted it that I simply never managed to match what I had gotten from the HP. In view of that, I'm making one more stab at it based on the old G4050 scan.
And yes, this would appear to be remix week!

Field Notes: There was barely enough light to focus with.
Initially I was drawn to the muted colours of this wall. However, the texture soon came to dominate as the main element of this image. As such, colour was a distraction. This is not a fully black and white image but the saturation level is extremely low.
