Here's something I shot at Madeira last October. The original was shot on color slide film. Color -> B&W and some contrast adjustments (actually quite a lot of adjustments

) were done in Photoshop.

Great depth -- It almost feels like you could fall off the edge

Great pic! The sky looks menacing. I love black and white film.

Beautiful work. You've got the Ansel Adams look going. Ain't Photoshop grand? Tell us a little more about your camera...

Thanks for all the comments!

At the moment my only camera is a Canon Digital Ixus V3

. I've been using a Nikon F601 (I believe it's known as N6006 in the US (?)) but I sold it. I'm going to get a D70 as soon as they hit the stores here in Finland.

I believe this photo was taken with a cheapish 28-200 mm Tamron. My father has some nice lenses so I may have borrowed one of those at the time, unfortunately I didn't keep track of the details.

Here's the color slide in case anyone is interested:

I used just the red channel for the B&W photo, that gave a slight boost to the sky and separated the reds and greens on the ground nicely. I added some more contrast to the sky after getting rid of the colors. Photoshop is grand indeed
