Another beauty, Bob! You have a wonderful touch in your B&W photos. Do you use a particular PP program or plug-in or do you shoot in B&W?

Thank you, Mike. Your visits are always appreciated. For digital, which this one is, I shoot in RAW format and convert to black and white during processing in Photoshop. I use several methods. The choice seems to depend on the original scene I'm converting. The usual is either a gradient map, convert to black and white, or simply desaturate. Each has its strong points. The most useful is the convert to black and white. This offers color sliders through which I can control the various color to black and white much the way a colored filter will affect the rendering of a color scene on black and white film. Additionally, I use luminosity masking and color masking to accomplish the same effects as color filters and black and white film. Additionally, I also do a good bit of burning and dodging.
I hope this answers your question.

Somehow, my eye is immediately drawn to the cloud detail, which I find incredible! It's rather obvious your skills with both camera and post are at a high level. Thank you for posting such an impressive photograph.

You did a really good job working the sky. It has the classic look from the heyday of film photography. However, the foreground has a gritty look that seems out of place relative to the silky look of the clouds. Do you know why that might be?
Since you use a variety of methods for monochrome, might you consider posting a tutorial on them?
