Just Black and White

Playing with the rules of thirds.

I like this one Gary, it is simple and catches the eye and then more reviles itself as you look into the photo.

 

Sundar, these two has turned out alright, you can see the emotion stimulated by the clouds and the various layers within the photo.

 

Did work out good Craig. Here is another conversion.

 

Sundar, I have just watch a documentary on a American Landscape photographer call Ansel Adams, it made a interesting point where Ansel Adams said the landscape does not change but the weather does and this is where we get our emotion in a landscape shot and being that he was around in the early days of photography and shot black and white, I think it holds true for your shots.

 

Interesting quote from a great photographer. I have visited his favorite stomping grounds several times, Yosemite National park in California. Luck does play a big role in this, being at the right place at the right time.

 

Sundar, I have not had the opportunity or most possibly be able to visit but from the photos I have seen, it does kinder remind me of Tasmania where I live, as this is a mountainous and hilly Island, our capital city, Hobart is situated at the foot of such a mountain range and now some idiot wants to put a cable car on it, some people can not leave nature alone.

 

Let us see some photos from where you live Craig. Does it snow down there? There are nature hating Idiots all over for sure.

yes it does quiet regularly on Mt. Wellington and the upper parts to that mountain range, and every 10 or so years it snow down to sea level, I'll take some shots tomorrow and put them up.
On a personal note I am still a little stiff and sore but occupational therapist said to throw my crutches away today. I am a bit wobbly but getting better.

 

Hope to see the pictures soon. Glad you are getting better. Cheers.

 

The photos shown are from a panarama which is too big for the site so here are two parts to it, the cliff face shown in both of them is called Gunners Quillion and it is just across the Derwent river which can be seen from my home

 

In the right mid foreground can be seen the Cadbury Chocolate factory, which is about 4 minutes from my home

 

Thanks for sharing. These must be spectacular when the mountains are covered with snow.

 

The photos, I have shown are too low down for snow very often unlike much higher up such as Mt.Wellington and Collingscap.
The view is spectacular from Mt.Wellington and many other vantage points on both sides with the Derwent river flowing through the catchment area and this is just a small part of Tasmania. Now it is slowly being ruined by greedy people bring hordes of tourists and these special places are being altered by excessive tourism. This is also affecting the local people who live here, such as those of us who photograph the landscape, bush walk, fish and hunt being force out or having these peaceful place over-run.

 

The snow is Ok but I prefer when the landscape is covered in fog and you catch it as the fog is lifting and just covering the lower peaks and the valleys, pure magic.

 

I like that too. You may like these. Perhaps not quite the way you like it but maybe close enough.

 

They remind me of emotion, angry and agressive
