An analogous color palette with deep blues to keep developing your editing style and wildlife photography! With @mankeyfoto - Winner Best of the Week 4 at #nomadict / “My passion for wildlife photography began some time ago. It is rooted in my lifelong love for animals and the belief that every species holds equal value. Small bird photography first captivated my attention. It started with simple snapshots and soon evolved into something more significant. I began developing my distinct style, characterized by moodier edits. I see editing as a tool to enhance storytelling—just as black and white photography shapes mood and meaning. For me, editing is another level of photography; it allows creativity to flourish and transforms photos into art rather than just great images. I believe my color scheme, combined with the use of gradient filters to enhance lighting and shadows, is a defining element of my edits, also present in my winning photo - see image one: I often darken the bottom of the photo to draw attention to the animals’ eyes. In addition, my goal is to capture the souls of the animals and showcase the beauty of nature. Thus, I present each photo with a color palette that evokes the feeling of stepping into a fairytale. For my winning photo, I used an analogous color palette sharing a common cool undertone, ranging from deep blue-green to grayish-teal: 0d191b - Dark teal-blue 192a2e - Dark cyan-blue 2e444d - Muted blue-gray-green 56646a - Cool gray-blue 8e9699 - Muted silver-gray-blue In general, analogous palettes create harmony and a sense of cohesion, making them ideal for moody, atmospheric, and cinematic looks. In this case, the moody palette has a strong cinematic feel, making it ideal for landscape photography edits of foggy forests, rugged coastlines, or urban nightscapes as well. It also suits futuristic, minimal, or luxury branding and UI design, as well as drone shots capturing stormy seas, cold mountain ranges, or deep forests.” @nomadict: Congratulations @mankeyfoto!

Ansel Adams Photographer, Artist & Activist
*Happy Birthday to Ansel’s ‘Monolith’!* 🏞️ “Born” on this day, April 10, 1927. Andrea Stillman’s biography “Looking at Ansel Adams” includes a wonderful chapter all about this storied photograph: “In 1992 I was in Ansel’s workroom selecting images for a prospective book of his photographs when Virginia appeared and announced that she had found a stash of home movies from the late 1920s and 1930S. With anticipation we rented a movie projector to screen them. Miraculously, one reel included footage of the trek to the Diving Board. It showed Ansel in his favorite plus fours, lugging his forty-pound pack, with a rakish fedora hat and the Keds high-top basketball shoes he favored for hiking. “The climbers struggled up…in deep snow, and when they reached the Diving Board they pulled each other up with a ludicrously thin rope. Virginia fearlessly inched out onto the sharply angled granite spur, and when she reached the tip she stood up and blithely waved. It seems appropriate that Ansel presented the very first print of ‘Monolith’ to Virginia. “Ansel was twenty-five years old when he made ‘Monolith.’ At age eighty he was able to recall the experience of making the negative, every detail as clear as it more than a half century had not elapsed. He photographed Half Dome hundreds of times, and there are many different interpretations that include moons, clouds, snow, flowers, leaves, trees, even deer and people. In 1978, during one of his last annual Yosemite workshops, he and his photographic assistant, John Sexton, contemplated Half Dome together and talked about the taking of ‘Monolith’ in 1927. According to John, Ansel laughingly confided, ‘Maybe I should just have stopped then.’” Text, film footage and Ansel Adams images are copyright ©️The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust.
