B/W Roads

Trying to do a kind of
Ansel Adams thing here.
("I knew Ansel Adams.
Doug,you're no Ansel Adams")
Many people have commented
that I have pasted skies
or used HDR on some of
my images.
I'm not very good at
pasting into images and
I'm not real sure how HDR works
(although it looks intriguing).
Going out for an anniversary dinner tonight.
See you all on the flip side : )

A very impressive picture, Doug. the sky is marvelous! Ansel used a huge camera with 5X7 films and he didn't have photoshop to finish it. It was in the 30-40's. Best regards Guy

Excellent! Reminds me of a John Ford b&w movie shot in Monument Valley. His skies were always expansive...

Don't worry about Ansel Adams - any way I don't know him. I know a guy named Doug Kessler who does amazing skies, and you work compares very well to his ;-) Voted.

Doesn't matter Ansel Adams or not, you did it magnificently in Doug's signature style. Would love to see more of your dramatic sky in b&w, very powerful and mind blowing. Enjoy your dinner and have a great weekend :-)
