A Black and White version of my latest monument panoramic; Harlech Castle on the North Wales coast at sunrise. Shot on the 5D + 135L and a studio 058 tripod, it is a six frame portrait orientation stitch, resulting in a 46 mp picture. 1/100, f/11, ISO 100. I'm tending to favour the 5D for panoramics as it keeps the overall file size manageable and the detail is still superb.

Nicely done. Reminds me a bit of Castle Anthrax (cue usual Python references etc.) :)

Thanks Guy, I'm pleased you like it because it's a castle I've tried to get for a while, and I'm very happy with the result.

Although it looks like a candidate for Castle Anthrax I'm afraid there are no lovely ladies inside to greet you. I know, I've been inside :(

I really like the B&W version. Well done, Sporgon. :)

Many thanks. I can tinker with a B&W image for hours. The trick seems to be knowing when to stop !

Matterhorn from Zermatt. 5DSR, HDR, ISO 100, 70-200 II @ 155mm & f8. I don't often do B&W, but this HDR seemed made for monochrome. I think some of the HDR artifacts that are challenging in color are less distracting in B&W. Happy to have any advice from experts on how to improve this rendering.

screenshot to show fine detail as well
