Hayden Valley captured by Z 6III / Z24-70f2.8
A snow-carpeted landscape easily grabs the imagination. Bringing in the cold can be one of the challenges to completing your story. We associate the color blue with cold, but in a B&W photo, you don’t have the color blue to work with. Or do you? Actually, you do but it’s not obvious. When you’re in ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) you have a B&W Mixer. There, you have a blue slider. There is lots of blue in the scene, from the sky to the sky reflected by the snow. By simply moving the Blue slider, you can bring out the cold, or, better said, the texture of the snow. It’s a little thing but it can lower the temperature bringing the cold in B&W.
