UPY 2018 Black & White - Highly Commended
'Nohoch Na Chich'
Herbert Meyrl
Nohoch Na Chich is the name of a cenote which is the entrance to one of my favourite caves in Mexico. I knew this spot from previous dives and wanted to take a picture of a diver in the background, dwarfed by the huge decorated column on the left side. I placed 3 strobes to light the column and model. Another diver, hidden behind the model is helping out in the background with more light, pointing a strobe towards the camera. My two on camera strobes bring only some additional light to the foreground, their main purpose is to trigger all the slave strobes.
Judge's comment: I can't help but think of Ansel Adams and his sublimely toned black and white images of Yosemite National Park. This is up there for me.
