Boulder Creek in the snow

Boulder Creek in the snow · 09:54 PM

K10D, Pentax 18-55mm, 1/30, f/9/5. ISO 100, +1.0ev, converted to B&W in Aperture since there was hardly any color to begin with

Dang that looks cold and wet too. This is the perfect image for b&w with all the different textures. It looks like you will have snow for Christmas.

I like it! All I would recommend is reducing the brightness and increasing the contrast a bit. Kind of like this.

I agree nice shot and is way better in B&W

daacon · 12-14-2007, 07:00 AM

Gorgeous!! I like Jeff's suggestions as well.

I did goose up the contrast a bit in Aperture but I can certainly see where going a bit further gives more depth to it.

Great shot Mark. You've captured the wintry feel. Nice composure and depth.

Excellent shot. Definately gives me a cold feeling. Well done.

It was quite cold indeed. If you look closely in the lower left there are two mallards in the creek probably wondering "Why again did we not fly south?"

I really prefer the soft look of the original. It has a more bleak and bitter feeling to it.

This, mind you, is me writing from a place that has just put up with a hot week with temperatures in the mid- to high-30s.
