landscapes: black & white Bagley Lake

Mt. Baker area, all comments welcome.

Beautifully captured. Great composition.

Always enjoy a good B&W & this is an excellent composition.Like the way the darker tones in the foreground gradually fade into the backgroung & keeping the eyes focussed on the foreground. Like the perspective & am curious what camera & lens you used to capture the scene. Regards-Ross

That's a really nice landscape. The composition is wonderful and the exposure is just perfect.

 

I read in your bio that you use a point-and-shoot; this and your other landscapes show once again that it's definitely about the photographer, not the gear.

 

Keep 'em coming!

Thanks everone for your positive comments. Ross, to answer your question, I was using my friends Fuji p&s, as I didn't have my own camera at the time. I currently use a Fuji F30 which is a great little camera that performs very well in low light situations. Right now money's a little tight, so I don't have extra funds for toys. Hopefully I can upgrade to a DSLR by year's end (I'm leaning toward a Canon 40D) and take it to the next level. In the meantime I will have to keep working with what I have, and will try to create the best photos I can under the circumstances. As you mentioned Peter, it's not just about the equipment. Creativity and inspiration can go a long way!

Fabulous scenery and a beautifully balanced image, the only niggle for me is the tree on the right, I am not sure if I want to see all of it or none of it!

Thank you for the compliment, Simon. Concerning the niggling tree, I thought it helped balance the composition. It can easily be cropped out, I might try that and see if I like it better that way.

As for the scenery, Washington state certainly has no shortage of fabulous!
