The Mittens in Mono

Standing alone on the quiet desert floor, with nothing but the gentle sound of tumbleweeds blowing in the wind, I was transported back to the days of John Ford and his epic Westerns. Here is a link to just a handful of the hundreds of movies filmed in Monument Valley: http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2013/09/28/12-movies-shot-monument-valley-navajo-nation-151484

Looks great in mono. Do you have a preference of color to mono in these? I think I prefer the color, but the b&w is rather Ansel Adamsish:).

[Danny G.]

@amandal Thanks, Amanda. Monument Valley is the only location I shot where I like the color and mono images equally, so I am posting each image both in color and mono. I agree with you that the b&w images have a bit of an Ansel Adams feel to them.
