Sweetwater Creek
I'd love to see more photos posted on the forum - it's interesting and fun to see other photographer's images of our "local" area. So here's on of mine from yesterday.

Very foggy day around Atlanta so I headed over to Sweetwater Creek on the west side of town. First time I've been there since the September floods and the damage was stunning. All of the downed trees along the shoreline opened up access to the creek for easier pictures. The creek was raging and the fog got very heavy. A B&W type of day. C&C welcome.

At first I didn't care for the glare on the rocks, but the more I look at it the more I like it just the way it is. Excellent B&W! Love the fog :toast:

I really like the fog in the background on this one. Did you shoot this in BW or convert?

Robin,

Shot with Nikon D90 in RAW format and converted to B&W. The pre-conversion image didn't have much color in it to begin with. Thanks for looking.
