I snapped this from the lakeside at Keswick in the Lake District, shooting in colour and applying a monochrome filter later in Photoshop CS3. I admit to having a little trouble manually adjusting the levels to achieve the look I wanted. In particular, I found it very difficult to push the contrast enough to allow the focal point (the trees on the island in the foreground) to 'pop' out and still allow the mountains in the distance to remain visible. I think in the end I managed it, but I'm hoping with practice to achieve better results (and in a shorter amount of time too!)
Snapped using Canon 1100D D-SLR with 18-55mm lens with natural lighting
