Another landscape thread

[Joe O'Hara]

I finally have my B/W process up, and it's really great to be working with it again. This is a recent shot from Wharton SF the morning after the remnants of the tropical storm went through. 210 Symmar-s, Tmax.

Well, it is a landscape, though earlier it had been a sunrise. Wehman 8x10, Fuji A 360mm, Kodak E100VS, converted to B&W (cloud colors were just garish) and then split toning (overdone perhaps) in PS. Honest, I'm trying, maybe someday.

Mr. S,

I have to say that I like the b&w version much more. It's nice to see both versions to compare, though.

Thanks Brian, I agree. Wouldn't have been able to do it without photoshop, much as it may offend my (very) limited sense of purity.

Great images folks...

This image is a new image from August, 2008.

A cattle rancher and his wife befriended me earlier this spring, while taking a dinner break at a local watering hole in Southwest Alberta, and during our discussion they kindly invited me back this summer to see their free range cattle ranch on horseback, so I could not resist...

Their ranch is just over 10K acres, where they are extremely proud of their property, along with their Black Angus cattle. I quickly discovered, while riding and discussing life in the country with them, that a great rivalry exists among the southwest Alberta ranchers, regarding the size of their ranch, the value of the land, and their prized cattle. I thoroughly enjoyed their western hospitality, their company, and the day immensely, but I did not enjoy my sore butt the next morning. I am such a green horn.

By chance, I captured a Chinook Arch forming over the foothills near the base of the mountains, while riding down one of the ranch's wide valleys in the late afternoon.
