UFO

[JimFox]

This is a B&W conversion of a sunset shot I posted a few days back from the Eastern Sierra, more specifically from the Mammoth Hot Creek area. Even though going to B&W it loses the sunset colors from the clouds, the way the clouds are lit I found a bit fascinating.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

This feels more UFO like than the color version. Especially given how the B&W conversion teases out details in the subject cloud formation.

Thanks Alan. The colors responded well to the B&W conversion.

You'll know if it's a real UFO when you hear them laughing . I like how the b/w brings out detail in the landscape and the clouds.

Neat capture, Jim! The contrast between the sharp formation and soft clouds make it for me here. You could even shave some off the top and make this into a nice little pano.

Ha ha.... so true Mike! Fortunately I didn't see any beams coming down.

I agree with Alan, this B&W version is a stronger image emphasizing the clouds. Well done.

Thanks Jim! I appreciate that. I was totally surprised how strong the B&W came out.
