Mountain Pass, Alberta

Shot a few years ago and just converted to B&W using photoshop. Used an older Canon Powershot (pretty portable for a hike in the mountains)... Any critique would be appreciated... Especially on the black and white.... Thanks!




Exposure: 0.006 sec (1/180)
Aperture: f/10.0
Focal Length: 10.8 mm
Exposure Bias: 0 EV

Nice conversion in my opinion. Good contrast. Nice depth too. Maybe just a slight increase in the black point? Not much!

Ansel would be proud!

I say unto you: hot diggity. That's a sweet photo. Well composed -- storng subject, nice foreground and dramatic clouds. Great exposure.

The B&W conversion is perhaps a little on the grey side -- you might bump up the contrast a little (curves or levels), but just a little bit at most.

Very nice!

I agree with the two above, give it more of a pure black and white. The first thing I thought when I saw this photo was dither!
I can delete these (just let me know), but used the indexed color box under mode and played with them...

Hey thanks for the input and encouragement! I will spend a bit more time playing with the black/white levels and contrast to see what comes... That dithering is awesome looking... Nice stippling effect!

I envisioned in my head your shot printed in an old newspaper....

It is a great shot with many directions to take it in.
