Just a few photos captured 2 weeks ago in Great Smoky Mountains NP. Filtration was done in Photoshop. The clouds rolling across the mountains are amazing.

Nice looking shots. Monochrome really works well for these.

Great shots. I've driven the road through the Smoky Mountains and it is a great ride with lots of opportunities for great shots. You've done well with your shots. All of mine are in color and it never occurred to me to make them B&W. It really works.

Could you repost these in color? I love the smokies and go every fall and know where everyone of these were taken. It would be appreciated.

Great job on these! My favorite is number 3. Those trees up front really give this image depth. Grandpaw

Fine job capturing the splendor of the Smokie's, Nikon Bob. Dramatic in monochrome.

Thanks, Fergus. In post-processing I applied a green filter, which lightened the foilage, enabling a more robust decrease in sky intenisty, which highlighted the contrast with the clouds. Of course Photoshop provides much more critical manipulation than ever possible with just color filters on monochromatic film. The control and options we now have are fantastic, but it makes you appreciate the incredible skill and artistry of the Ansel Adams and Edward Westons using technology crude by our standards. They taught us just how powerful photography could be. I am still inspired by their haunting images.
