Landscape B&W 2

This one taken from the Lincoln ridge looking across towards Nottingham. The cooling towers of the power station that you can see are on the River Trent.
That's an impressive view! I like the contrast between the barns and the towers.

I love this, there's loads of detail which really show up well in Mono. Looking at the colour version, I think this is better!

The layers are more defined here in B&W.

Love the scenic view with many layers

Fabulous layers and a balanced minimal composition, it works so beautifully in BnW

Nice layers. Even though Lincolnshire is flat you have found some interesting scenery.

@onewing it depends where you look & on the light - I took this yesterday- today was hazy & the sky was white, so would have produced a very different image.

Loving those chimneys!

I guess a shot like this really depends on the sky - this makes it look quite interesting

Wonderful bw

mono does it again as the fave of the two ? what is the name of the power station ? I think it might be Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station, near East Midlands Airport.

@phil_howcroft it could be Phil, I always thought they were along the Trent. There are a couple of them in a line.

@carole_sandford Ratcliffe is 32 miles from Lincoln down the A46 , maybe that's too far for this , but it does look like Ratcliffe . Were you on zoom

@phil_howcroft might be too far to be Ratcliffe as you say, not sure. There are two that can be seen from this spot, but can’t them both in same frame.
I’m surprising myself, by actual liking the mono shots better than the colour - unusual for me!

Lovely focal point of light

Lovely layers!

Nice landscape shot- it doesn't look like much if you look too quickly- but a slower glance and you start to see some interesting details.

I love all the layers in the capture. Beautiful landscape capture.

Lots to see here. I too prefer this b&w version to the colour.
February 22nd, 2023  
one more thing we won't miss with renewables.
February 22nd, 2023  
Love the flatness.

Many thanks for all your kind comments. It does depend greatly on light, as to the effects you get. I started the week thinking that landscapes should be colour, but I’m already seeing that they don’t have to be, also I think it makes you take a better look at your surroundings, vistas that see all the time become insignificant & slotted into the category of flat & boring, but perhaps they aren’t. Though I think I would struggle to find a whole months worth of different views.

As far as the eyes can see, lovely landscape capture.

Very thought provoking photo - The decommissioned coal-fired power station stands with it's cooling towers as giants of a by gone era
February 22nd, 2023  
This works really well in b&w.
February 22nd, 2023  
Lovely shot.
February 22nd, 2023  
Lovely black and white. Well done.
