One of my favourite images from my trip home to Tassie over Christmas. This one looks best in B&W as the colour version lacked, erm, colour. :)

This is Lake Dobson atop Mt Field.

Specs: Nikon F5 and Nikon 28-70mm at about 28mm. About F10.

Nice work. Just wondering if there were any colour filters used?

Hi Steve,

This is a beautiful image.
Nice contrast, composition, textures and wonderful BW.

Smurph - No, but when I converted to B&W in Photoshop I spilt the channels into R, G and B and used the R channel because it had nicer grey tones. :) I think it is easier than using filters in the field.

Matt - Hmmmm, holidays a little slow?

Thanks Christian. Happy new year to you too.

It's basically a D1 but for film. It's the same look and feel. I love it. (Metaphorically.)

Nice, I forget how easy it is to not use filters these days. I´m still used to using them with my M4 though.
