A Look back at the 2019 Photo Contest
Robert Nowak took home the grand prize during our Waterman Center #NatureNOW 2019 Photo Contest with this stunning image.
Robert writes, "This photo was taken on September hike into the high country of Three Sister wilderness in Oregon. I knew as soon as I took the photo that I would want to convert it to black and white in Lightroom and Silver Efex Pro. The starkness of the trees combined with the cirrus clouds were really made for a black and white photo. Nikon D800E, Nikon 24mm lens, Really Right Stuff tripod and head."
