B & W

For those of you who wondered what happened to the Black & White Ding...here he is...

I've been saving some of the black and white stuff for a single post. I feel  mixing black and white with color doesn't do either mode any favors.

A tree, a sky, mountains, snow...photographer heaven!

1/ 800s, at f/14 || E.Comp:0 || 52mm || WB: AUTO 0. || ISO: 500 || Tone: || Sharp: || Camera: NIKON D3on: 2014:10:25 04:20:19

The storm that gave us the snow gave me a pretty nice shot itself...

1/ 1600s, at f/20 || E.Comp:-10 / 6 || 70mm || WB: AUTO 0. || ISO: 500 || Tone: || Sharp: || Camera: NIKON D3on: 2014:10:23 03:25:08

The Dolomites ...

The same range, different evening, different lens, different cloud...

These clouds seen from the airplane flying home (it's good to get the window seat!)...

The Great Lakes from 35,000 feet (I have no idea which one, but the waves must have been huge, way more comfortable from above)...

1/ 4000s, at f/8 || E.Comp:-8 / 6 || 105mm || WB: AUTO 0. || ISO: 500 || Tone: || Sharp: || Camera: NIKON D3on: 2014:11:01 08:16:42

When I saw this shot it dawned on me that things in the valley of the Inn haven't changed much in 400 years.

Coming up the valley on horseback on a cold snowy night, wet and hungry, and hoping the Bishop was feeling hospitable would have looked a lot like this in 1630...

I hope you liked the images. Click on a photo to isolate it.

Not to nag, but it is more rewarding to look at these on a bigger screen.
