Every once in a while something in black and white strikes my fancy, but I dont really get all that jazzed with it normally. I really strived for the color to actually turn out like this in these photos, to accentuate the fog and the shadows. I did very little to no adjustments on shadows in Lightroom, and absolutely no adjustment on color, saturation, etc. These are very close to as shot, if not totally. I did a little cropping on the isolated stack shot, mainly to adjust the vertical line a little.
