This came out better than I thought it would. It has been a very warm weekend here, and I figured there would be too much atmospheric disturbance to get a decent shot. 700mm handheld.

Amber Waves of Grain

Purple Mountains Majesty...Amber Waves by David Stephens, on Flickr

This is actually what Katherine Lee Bates saw when she looked down from Pike's Peak and began penning the words to "America The Beautiful" in 1895. Many think it was fields of wheat, but I doubt it. This prairie grass still covers much of Colorado and would have, almost certainly, dominated the view to the East from Pike's.

M_Six · 09-20-2016, 04:17 PM

Yeah, but "Amber waves of grain" sounds better than "prairie grass."

Nice shot, DC.

I had a trip down to Edinburgh and a ride on the new Borders Railway today.
When I got back into Edinburgh Waverley this afternoon, this very colourful Freightliner liveried Class 90 electric loco was standing as Main Line Pilot.

Located at strategic points on our East Coast Main Line, between London Kings Cross and Edinburgh Waverley stations, these Main Line Pilots are kept ready to go as rescue locos to cover any failures.

Throughout the railway industry they are known as 'Thunderbirds' for obvious reasons . . . . if you're old enough to remember the TV series.

Alan, great Freightliner.

First stab at an Silver Efex B&W conversion. I'm a bit on the fence with the sky, but I like the rest of it.

You needed a few more mm wider.

I agree about the sky. Normally I'd want it a shade darker, but then it'll blend too much with the stone. I'd play with making it lighter, but I'm guessing that I'd end up about where you are now.

M_Six · 09-21-2016, 04:31 PM

Yeah, I lost some of the building when I corrected for the distortion. I need to remember to leave myself enough space so I don't cut off the subject when I correct.

Skies have always been my bug-a-boo when it comes to conversions. Just can't seem to get them right.
