It looks like the whole state was socked in early last week, but at the end of my showshoe hike to Sunset Rock in Sequoia NP, I was above it all. And quite alone.

Must have been a marvelous and quiet sight Jeffrey, I'm jealous!

breadth taking view Jeffrey but why did you turn this into B&W ? wondering what the color might have looked like ?
Posted by Jeffrey Sipress on December 13, 2009 at 12:32 PM
Debjit, there was barely any color there. The sky was a washed out light blue, and the trees were such a dark green as to be nearly black. The conversion didn't do much!

Honestly, I'd like to see a version without that fg tree. I like the layers and tones captured here even without the tree. Nice find!

Wow, Jeffrey, this is nice. The sky looks like fluffy cotton balls to me. You might be able to play with the contrast a little more too but looks just fine as shown here.

Great b&w conversion, Jeffrey. This is not something you see everyday.
