The Thompson River Valley, as seen from Petersen Creek Park in Kamloops, B.C., Canada, on a fine spring afternoon.
I set out today specifically to get a wide-angle landscape, as they are not my typical muse or style (as, some would say, is apparent), and to take advantage of *having* 18mm on my 18-55mm. If I have the lens, I may as well take advantage of it.
Conversion was two seperate exposures from RAW, combined using Photomatix Basic. The B&W was done mostly in the RAW converter (I'm beginning to actually like this method lately), and then Curves and Levels applied in PS CS2.
I didn't do any dodge and burning, as I'm quite frankly *not* that good at it, and don't really think this needs any more dramatic moodiness added.

| Nice dramatic vista - bumped up contrast does very well here, makes everything stand out from every point in the frame. |

This is a great landscape, I sure like the two pines standing guard!
Seems a bit flat in the post processing. |

| Even in black and white, the photomatrix effect is obvious on a photo. Nice details in the sky, gets a little muddled on the bottom half in such a sea of flora. Splitting shots in half with the horizon line is generally something to avoid, and I don't know that it is doing you any favors here. Perhaps 1/3rd land 2/3rds sky would let even more of that great sky detail shine through. |

A wonderful landscape in every sense..... |

| Same sky we have in the Kootenays today. The weather looks good for the next 2 weeks or so. Our hills are bigger :) |
