Black and White Landscapes!

Really like your Gozo Azure Window, Leichenmuehle. Iconic place.

Currently we´re in the middle of winter here, with lots of snow and ice. So a quick trip to the dessert in Sharjah is quite a contrast for a Norwegian.

I liked this line, with wave patterns on one side and totally smooth on the other.

1DX, 24-70 f2.8L II
1/100s, f11, ISO100

Very Nice Picture! Great composition and tonality.

Took this photo with a 7D, Sigma 17-50 OS at Fort LaCloche, Sagamok First Nation, really nice spot for scenery and wildlife. First time I imagined how much better it will look as a black and white. Really inspirational work here, keep doing what you are all doing!
cracking shot, love the bleak wind torn landscape.

Another opportunity to shoot in the fog this morning. I originally shot this in portrait orientation to concentrate the composition on the shore line and distant trees, and negate the large expanse of water that would have been in the frame on the left. But that in turn left a large, empty expanse of sky in the top of the frame that I didn't like. Experimenting with alternate crops gave me this square presentation that I particularly like.

Been to North Wales to get some panos of the great Welsh castles at Conwy, Caernarfon and Harlech. ( Well, they were English castles weren't they really, built in Wales :-X ). Also managed to get some landscapes in beautiful Snowdonia.

Got this one looking down into Beddgelert . Beddgelert is so called because it is, according to legend, where the loyal hound Gelert belonging to some short tempered dark ages Prince, is buried. The hound had tried to save Prince's baby from a wolf, failed, got covered in blood in the process. Price arrives home, thinks Gelert has killed the child, kills hound, finds body of wolf.....you know the sort of story. The very ancient grave is there to be seen; whether there is any truth in it , who knows ?

Done a quick stitch of this in B&W but can't decide whether I prefer the 2x1 or 2.5x1 version. On my panos I am beginning to favour 2x1, but for a 'proper' landscape shot maybe 2.5 x 1 is better ?
