Re: Let's see your black & whites!!
Kiefer, thanks.
Vonmackle, have to agree with Kiefer - nice B&W of the Diamond!
Here's another shot from yesterday's bike ride. The weather has made for some fun snapshots.

Re: Let's see your black & whites!!
As a total amateur, I can't compete with most of these stunning shots, but I still wanted to offer a few. Here is a storm over the Mosquito Range from the west and my friend Chad strolling between Mount Buckskin's southest and northwest summits. Thanks for sharing all of your photos!

Re: Let's see your black & whites!!
Neil, most of us are amateurs too. It's not about competing, it's about inclusion......so please post more. This is a casual topic as I see it.....and I don't think anyone has been critiquing in an anything but positive fashion (unless that was requested by the poster to be more instructively critical). At the same time, I think we are fortunate to have a couple of professionals posting.....as well as some very advanced amateurs with a real passion for landscape photography. As you stated, so many of the shots are simply stunning.Neil wrote:As a total amateur, I can't compete with most of these stunning shots, but I still wanted to offer a few.
I really like both of your shots. Each evokes a mood that I can relate to greatly. And the perspective on the mountain ridge is perfect for the contemplative posture of the climber. Nicely done.

I was up in the flat tops last winter and thought this was a cool shot.

Re: Let's see your black & whites!!
Thanks for the kind words Mark...they are sincerely appreciated. And I agree that this is a great thread that is certainly about inclusion, a reminder which I also appreciate.

Re: Let's see your black & whites!!
I've watched this thread for a while, and there are some pretty cool pictures. Well, I thought I'd add a couple. I went out with the intention of gathering "fall colors" and got some of these to go with it. Always nice to spice things up with some black and white!
