Misty Woods

by Victor Young
(Dudley, West Midlands)

Taken at Cally Woods in Wordsley Nr Stourbridge, West Midlands; with a Canon EOS300D SLR & Sigma 70-300mm Telephoto zoom lens.

Originally in colour, but changed to black and white to give it a feel of solitude and stillness.

I used Photoshop channel mixer option mode. This photo is actually a combination of two shots stitched togetehr to encapsulate a panoramic view of this landscape.

I hope you like it, thank you.

We do like it, Vic, we like it a lot!

Well done for taking the photo in colour first, and then converting it to black and white (there's reasons for this here, and a Photoshop tutorial here.

The scene is nice and simple, with a certain haunting quality about it. Perfect for black and white photography.

Thanks for the submission Vic.
