Last weekend I arrived in Snowdonia for sunrise, this shot was taken on a very changeable day, the sunrise was wonderful but 40 minutes afterwards cloud descended. This was taken with a Lee 10 stopper and converted to black & white to add to the bleakness

Thanks, I used the excellent Nik Efex Silver Pro plug-in for the black & white conversion

Only recently started using Nik software and I'm very impressed, I tried the conversion in photoshop beforehand but couldn't get the same tonal range from the shot that the Nik software managed

It's a wonderful landscape image Simon, the bare trees are the part that make it for me as they add a great focal point in the middle distance.

Also, as already mentioned above, the conversion is great.
