doubled back

On our second day's hike, we walked past this weathered stump on the descent. I thought, "Wow. That'd look great in black and white!" Fortunately, our dads wanted to take a break shortly after, so I doubled back to catch this one. The midday sun was pretty harsh, and I stacked some filters to get the depth of field I wanted. The vignetting was a side effect.

more depth?

I think this one has a bit more depth than yesterday's shot. Same sunset, different point of view. Thoughts?

weak sunset

As it turned out, I chose the worst day to have the forethought to go out to the lookout for some long exposure sunset shots. The rest of the days weren't as clear skies and were lit up with all kinds of colors in the clouds. At least I was climbing instead!
