This is my first real attempt at doing something in b&w.

It is Junction Cabin, half way up Mt Wellington, Hobart during the snow the week before last. It was still snowing lighly but the sun was out.

Woops, edited this because I realised the pic in the original post was 400K, sorry about that.

Thanks bp.

I totally agree, I should have had the whole cabin in shot. I had 50mm lens on when I took this and should have changed to kit lens to get wider angle or stepped back a few more paces. Bit late now, the snow's gone, but I'll get it again. :)

.......always look before stepping back, you never know when there is a dropoff.......anyway you still have a good image with a good treatment......as time goes on and many shots later, and some images framed, I tend to buy frames that you can change the image if you feel like a change, and do so a lot, that way your gallery is always fresh, except for the odd favourite.

John,

Good image - it reminds me of siberian villages :) Just echoing BigPix - would be great to see whole cabin but this is the only problem of this photo IMHO

Hi John,
I agree, it's quite good as it is. If you have CS2, you may try a cooling filter (under photo filters) and may be just a touch more contrast.
