Tryfan Mountain in North Wales

[JEASPEKE]

Took this original shot on Canon 5D Mk11, with a Canon 17-40mm lens. Format is CR2. Edited it in Adobe Camera RAW.
In Photoshop's beta: used the new Adobe DeNoise filter to good effect on the sky and the remove object filter to remove the power lines.

After global levels and contrast adjustments I converted to B&W in RAW. This revealed some sensor spots which I removed using the Healing spot brush. After local dodging and burning, with just a mite of sharpening' I printed it on Ilford's Gold Mono Silk A3+ paper with my Epson 3000 model.

Looks excellent in daylight and on the summit, you can clearly see Adam and Eve (two stone towers about 2 meters high). Quite pleased with it.

 

[Helen Summers]

Much better in B&W.

 

[Jay B.]

Much better in B&W.

I agree, guess that‘s why we‘re here, Helen. Good to see both of them, as a reminder of what b&w can express (if we needed a reminder at all)

 

[Toby Webster]

Very nice. I particularly like the note of silver luminosity in the foreground meadow.

Lovely image, great sky and a nice mixture of sun and shade has brought out the details in the mountain.
