Nice one. Quite the dramatic sky. Do you use a filter?

Thanks Jay (and All) ~
I believe that on this photo, I had my 18-55mm lens and therefore, I had my polarizing and ND-3 filters attached. The deep blue of the sky and the red hue of the adobe add quite a bit of contrast when converted to B&W. Contrasts were enhanced in the post-processing and some very localized dodging and burning in along some of the walls of the Pueblo to add focal points. -

Thanks for the technical talk. Next time I convert a photo to B&W, I will add a ND and/or polarizing filter on before I shoot. But I'm just too damn lazy to dodge and burn. Check out my photo Abandoned I & II if you feel inclined. This photo works beautifully, Max.

Thanks so much Anne and honestly, there was very little d&b on the photo. For those who are interested, here is the full info for the RAW image. The exposure was to capture the detail in the clouds, so the area of the Pueblo was fairly dark, but as you can see, well within being able to seperate it out and work with the Levels so as not to wash out the sky.

I love the way that the diagonal line where the clouds meet the sky is mirrored in the diagonal of the receding pueblo. Great composition.

nice photo! how did you get permission to photograph in the pueblo?

Thanks Jeffrey.
You can photograph in the pueblo - although you need to register your camera before entering and there is a nominal fee. If you are a professional or commercial photographer, you must get the permission of the Pueblo council beforehand.
