a bright sunny later winter day makes for a great black & white landscape
The sharp contrast offered by the scenery on a bright afternoon is perfect for converting from color to black and white. The blindingly white snow and clouds and dark shadows in the pines give the range of contrast that works well when using the Channel Mixer in Photoshop to convert to monochrome. This mountain landscape came out just as I hoped it would when I was shooting it.
