Four Peaks

[sweetgrass]

My journey into B&W film, has motivated me to buy a film scanner to scan some newly exposed B&W film along with scanning older color images. I wanted to see what the modern tool set could do with these scanned images. What I have found out is some my colors slide convert nicely to B&W.

These images were created using Fuji Chrome Velvia 100 with my Minolta X-700 after a snow storm on Four Peaks east of Phoenix.

Very nice Sonny! It's fun when new twists to our photography grab us, like the B&W film does. I really like the first one. But that lighting in #2 is really cool how it's hitting the peaks.

I like #2 best as I like how the light is touching the tips of the trees in the foreground that leads me to the sun light. The lighting makes this images for me, and the color version is nice. But I was sold on the B&W version.

Neat scenery up on top of those peaks. I have looked up at those peaks many many times but never went up thereto see them up close. The view on a clear day up there must be amazing. Which direction are you facing in the second image?

It's one of those cool Sonoran desert mountain ranges that are high enough to get snow, and in the 2nd image I was facing west looking out toward Fort McDowell.
