Toward Antarctica, Pennington Bay #2004

from $450.00

Without colour, Pennington Bay becomes a set of tonal relationships: black sky, pale cloud, a hard horizontal line and water moving across the foreground.

The monochrome treatment changes the photograph considerably from the colour views made nearby. Place becomes less descriptive. The movement of cloud and sea is more apparent, while the horizon holds everything still.

There is also a small trace across the upper sky—an incidental line that stops the darkness from becoming too perfect.
