Timpanogos in Black and White


Utah Valley is subject to winter inversions. This produces a solid cloud cover with thick fog laced with contaminants in the lower valley. It is not something you get used to especially if you have any kind of breathing problem. Once the air clears, the clouds often remain but you can see the mountains. But the light is almost flat and the colors wash out. The scene becomes almost monochromatic. Here, I chose to edit the image into a grayscale. We often associate "black and white" images with older photography, but all photography deals with impressions and images that ultimately can be manipulated. I hardly ever see any unedited images except on social media where those posting the photos have no idea what they are posting.
