When I first became interested in photography over 30 years ago, I gravitated to black and white images, mainly of outdoor scenary. I think I moved in that direction because the only dark room facility available to me was a black-and-white-only setup. So when I picked up a camera again, my first incliniation was to look through the view finder with the same eye.
These were the first keeper images I shot with a new Canon 40D that my wife bought me for Christmas 2008. It took me a while to develop the right skills and eye for doing the black and white conversion in PhotoShop, but these first two images now proudly grace my wall as 20X30 fine art posters.
All were shot on the grounds of the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina.
