    Foggy, Rainy, Brecon Beacons

    Here's a shot from Thursday afternoon, when I went up Brynamman's Mountain road into what can only be described as Welsh weather!

    Canon 7D, EF24-70L f/2.8 @32mm 1/160th sec f/4.5, ISO 100

    This is the unedited version.

    But it was really not much cop. So, convert to mono, apply a neutral grad filter, flip horizontally because it just looks better sloping left to right to me. Photoshop CS6, Nik Silver Efex Pro.

    So, not a brilliant shot, but a bit more moody and the skies now are nearer to what my eye saw.

    The mono for me Andy
    Somehow the flipped composition works better in this shot.

    The colour shot is full of atmosphere.
    I'd be tempted to either crop square or a wee bit off the top.
    Just my thoughts for what its worth

          Like both of them Andy, the colour one looks very nice on Flickr.
