Photographs for a Grey Day

[North Light]

Some photographs from the weekend, Saturday was grey, so I tried heading west along the coast, I didn't find sunshine but I took some photographs anyway.

Very atmospheric Northlight - thanks!

I really like the first one - the hills and the sky look great! :)

Northlight, just spotted this thread. Love your first shot. I recently discovered Black & White treatments and conditions such as these are perfect for a B&W conversion. Worth a try?

I would also try cropping out all the flat slabs in shot 2. Would make a great panorama image (in B&W also)

I Think this grey sky brings the colour of the stone out nice ones northlight

Deemac,

Thanks for the comments, yes both would convert to B & W, my preference would be the first image.
Will try and get back in the next few weeks and spend longer working with the graveyard.


Bobbyian,

Thank you, I am pleased with the results, particularly the first photograph.

The West coast does 'do grey' very well, as Deemac said it seems to suit B&W.
