Photo Of The Day By Jeff Sullivan

Todayâs Photo Of The Day is âThe Wave in Black and Whiteâ by Jeff Sullivan. Location: Arizona.
âStriated layers of Navajo sandstone undulate under erosive forces, gradually uncovering rock formed in the Jurassic Period, 150 to 190 million years ago,â describes Sullivan.
âVisiting the Wave requires a cross-country hike of over 3 miles from the Wire Pass Trailhead on House Rock Road, near Kanab, Utah. Only 20 hiking permits, awarded by lottery, are issued for each day by the Bureau of Land Management.
âFor maximum control over contrast and detail, three exposures were captured one stop apart. After adjustment in Adobe Lightroom, a High Dynamic Range (HDR) master was created in Photomatix. That result was converted to black and white in Silver Efex 2. A single 14mm field of view was insufficient to capture this composition top to bottom. To adequately capture the complete curves in the foreground, this is a vertical panorama stitching together several overlapping 14mm landscape orientation (horizontal) HDR-processed images.â
