Alarm went off this morning at 0545...out the door at 0600...stop at the gas station because I was on "e"...and then off to Sterling and the nearby orchard. I topped on of the hills and looked out to my left...the mist was lying in the hollows...still and quiet. Translated to b/w. I actually have another version that I transitioned...leaving a hint of color to the foreground. Opinions?
50mm f/5.6 @ 1/640 ISO200

Another version of the Morning Mists

If it were me....not that I know so much about photography....but I look at black and white and I want to see more light more contrast. I learn a little when reading about B&W that it has a lot to do with painting with light. this is a beautiful scene and you want it to pop out when view. Try maybe dodging in picnik, try to make the highlights brigther. Maybe you'll like it or maybe you won't. But I think you'll be able to see the difference. Let me know.

I recently joined the forum for The New York Institute of Photography - and in reading many of the topics available to the photography enthusiast, I stumbled across a fellow student (Dee) that was issuing herself a challenge: to take at least one photograph a week and submit it to her forum friends for review. Sounds easy right? Not so much. First off, many of us taking the class are living in two worlds. The world of families and work; deadlines and diapers (or barn chores, as is my case). There are times when it is just not feasible to pick up a camera, or finish a lesson. There there is the Photography. The passion to capture this world that moves by us, faster by the day, and share it with others.
So - we challenge ourselves - and others - to make it happen.
