About the Image(s)

A couple of days ago I was walking in the neighbourhood and came across a construction site and there was a mound of white gravel that attracted my attention. I took the picture with the intention of converting it to B&W. My aim was to give the impression of large snow covered mountains in the distance. I left the dark vegetation in the foreground to create some scale and tried not to show too much detail in the gravel.

Technical: Eos R100, 1/200, f8, Iso 100. Used a polarizing filter.

Chris,

A man made mountain. It looks a tons of gravel for a big project.

I like your shot but it has just a little too much texture for snow...

Regards

Mike,

I really like your idea of "creating" mountains, and I couldn't resist playing with it a bit in Camera Raw and Photoshop. To give it a sense of size, I modified the crop to create a panoramic image. Then I played with the lighting to put snow only on the tops of the mountains.

Your thoughts?
