Following the nice comments about the Bowling monochromes I am revisiting older images. All comments welcome. I will post more as I find them. This is St Oswald's bay in Dorset. Fuji XE-1 big stopper.

Your re visit was worthwhile. I like the compositions, the scenes and the processing. Some more?
-
Love the first. On the second, I find myself wanting to see a bit more on the right.

Shot in March this year. Borrowdale in the Lake District. Fuji XE-1 Fuji XC 50-230 @ 63mm. f7.1 1/800s.
All comments welcome Ken

I love Borrowdale, and this photo captures some of amazing character of the place. I love the light falling on the foreground trees, as well as the contrast of the rounded lower hillocks & the more distant snow-capped & more angular fells.
-
All very fine, but the Borrowdale is stunning.
-
Good shooting, Rennie. Ansel would be proud of you.

Very flattering comment about AA but not really warrented. A Church very close to home.
Brampton Old Church, Cumbria
The larger church is Melrose Abbey across the border in Scotland

The latter is very Gothic, and has a wonderful 3D quality to it

Landscape photography! :D
I like them all but in particular the first one.

Oh for skies like that!
I like the second one best, though I agree with the previous comment about wanting to see a bit more on the right side.
-
I really like that last one. Gothic at its best.
-
My first monochrome that was more than a colour shot with the colour removed.
Taken at Werfen in Austria during a cycling trip in the Alps. A terrible day with almost constant rain and dodging large quarry lorries on narrow roads.

All I can say about that one is: WOW! Now you're going Ansel one better.

Spectacular!

There's some fantastic stuff here, Ken! I love ominous gloom of the Abbey.

That Austrian one is superb

Another 3 shots from 2012 taken on a trip to Scotland unfortunately cut short. Firstly from Corrie Laggan in Skye and then 2 shots from Eilean Donnan. Both areas are photgraphic honeypots. Corrie Laggan involves a bit of a walk. Eilean Donnan shots from the car park.
I am trying to get my best 10 shots together for a RPS (Royal Photographic Society) submission so appreciate any feedback.
All taken with Olympus E-410 with 14-42 kit lens.
The Corrie Laggan shot was a 13 shot stitch, too mean to buy a wide angle lens.
The wider castle shot was a 3 shot panorama.

Splendid stuff, Ken.

St Michael's Mount Cornwall. Taken on a wet evening 15s exposure with lots of people walking back from the Island just as the tide was rising over the causeway. It has taken a long time to remove the rain spots from this image and I am not sure that the sky looks natural.

I really like that shot - like the causeway leading my eye to the island in the distance. The sky is great too (not so busy), lets me better discover details in the main subject.

This is from January this year. An foul day at Twisleton Scar Edge in Yorkshire. I was driving down and saw the line of clouds breaking to the South West. I climbed up on to the limestone pavement and waited for break in the weather to arrive. A couple of hours later the weather hadn't changed. I was soaked as was my camera. This is 4 shots combined to remove the effects of the water drops on the ND filter and try and keep the highlights in check. Fuji XE-1, Fuji XF14mm @f11.

Twistleton Scar is a fabulous place, and that's a fabulous photo of it.
-
Captured at the perfect moment. That's my favorite so far.

That's really good. But foul weather in Yorkshire? Shurely shome mishtake.

Excellent B&W landscape shots; enjoyed looking at them. You will have to show some from the Rain (Lake) District next ;)
-
Thank you all for the kind comments. Unfortunately I have no wet and wild images of the Lake District. I live here and seldom go out with a camera when it looks like rain. However I have previously posted a few mono Lake District shots, strangely I tend to "see" the Lake District in colour and seldom produce mono images good or bad. I am still wading through my monochrome images and have a half dozen to go, I think. Ken

The last 2 from the archives. Famous local spots. The Sycamore tree on Hadrian's wall and Blea Tarn in the lake district. Both taken with Olympus E-410 with 14--42 kit lens. The Tarn shot is a multi image panorama. I think I need to crop a bit off of the panorama but am unsure about how much so any suggestions welcomed. Since this is the last of my old monochromes I will need to go out and shoot some more. We have had the first snow but it is now wet and windy so most of the snow has melted and the weather now isn't tempting me outside.

About cropping the pano, if you must. I'm not sure if this is "any suggestion". But because I like the ends better than the middle, I would suggest compressing the middle by removing hundreds of thin vertical slices. Depending on how that looked.
