About the Image(s)

You wake up at 3:30 a.m. to catch the sunrise at the Great Wall. The sun never shows up, but it doesn’t matter. Watching the Wall slowly appearing out of the fog turns out to be an unforgettable experience. This is my third time on this section of the wall. I love it because there are almost no tourist, and it preserves that feeling of being one of the Wonder of the world.

I took this image in color, but I soon figured out it would be better in black and white. The fog was showing up and disappearing fast. Indeed, few minutes later there was no fog.
Post process includes cropping to reduce the negative space of the sky to what I think was right, then I converted to black and white using Capture one. I did few general adjustments (black and white, highlights and shadows, add some clarity, a dehaze and add a little of contrast). I then use selective masks to emphasize the wall.
