Great shot and perfect tonal range in B&W
David de Groot said: Thanks, 'tis already cropped to 16:9, I could go tighter, but really should have just got out of the car and gone for a walk to shoot it ;-) Yeah, 862km day trip yesterday ;-) Pretty cool clouds about, so dark sky seemed like the way to go.

David de Groot said: hehehe well that's one use for them - I was thinking more along the lines of photographing them at night :P

Very Ansel Adams man.
David de Groot said: Thanks Kane. :)

Very cool B&W David!! Polarizer works well on that sky.
David de Groot said: It was definitely a day for the polariser, that's for sure. Red-filter in post-processing did the final sky blackout and there you go.

862km... of which I drove 110 from warwick to tenterfield in the morning.
I was amused :)
But, I told him we could swap if he wanted a break. No requests were made! :bg:
Do you think he likes the New Car? ;)

Start to get really concerned when you start catching him whispering sweet somethings to it:-)

David de Groot said: If you really wanted to swap I could have, but then, I knew where we were going :P hehehe

Aye; the red filter looks good.
David de Groot said: :-)

@david oh, I can follow a GPS track just as well as you can! :-P
@suburbanvoodoo I'm not worried. I doubt a mere car can talk geek to him ;)

top stuff dave - I really like the whiteness of the dead trees that stand out and the darkened blues from the BW conversion
David de Groot said: Thanks Dylan :)

I like the use of the red filter effect in this - produces really effective exaggerated contrast - fits the scene really nicely
David de Groot said: Thanks :) Yeah definitely worked well. I think the austerity of the landscape helps.

Nice - Tres dramatic

It's always a bonus when the clouds cooperate. They can make a photo

Deep inside philosophy in this picture. Everyone sees it its meaning. What you have the feeling and association?
David de Groot said: Indeed Greg. Clouds make all the difference. Thanks. Methinks you lost a little in the translation.

Great as a B&W - it's like a martian landscape!
David de Groot said: Isn't mars meant to be red ? :P
The Central Scrutiniser said:
Ortho-chromatic perhaps?
David de Groot said: Wouldn't that make the blues light and the grass dark ? Or is that on the negative only, and thus a positive would look like this ?
The Central Scrutiniser said:
Following on from the red planet suggestion.... ortho film is insensitive to red light. Red things would appear black in the print.
David de Groot said: aha! gotcha :)
-Gadabout- said:
hehe so Mars is the only martian landscape? :P
David de Groot said: Well yeah, 'cause if it were Neptune, it'd be Neptunian :P
-Gadabout- said:
Ah ha, see I thought a martian was an alien from another planet 'cause one time when I was in Paris this guy called out "you have a martian in your handbag" when I had an alien in my bag!! My apologies. The English language...
