Badlands View Badlands National Park, South Dakota 2016
I got the idea that this shot of the Badlands might look with a pen and ink drawing or etching look to it. This is the result of fooling around with it to that end.

I like this very much! Reminds me of the etchings in 1800s books before the technique of printing actual photos was available. The white sky is very typical. 🙂

The technique I couldn’t come up with right away is wood engraving. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_engraving
Thanks Kathy. What amazes me is how much detail they could get in those book engravings–on wood no less!
I agree, Larry. I especially admire the work of Gustave Dore.
