When you combine black and white photography with a subject like desert landscapes, you can get some remarkable images. These black and white desert images combine the best of landscape photography with the dramatic effects of processing in black and white. And they look awesome!

3 of the first 4 images really caught my eye. They all have parts approaching total black. Not many seem to edit like this. I like it. Very dramatic and I am starting to introduce this into my work. Great to see images like this about!
A sensory experience beautifully captured.d
#13 looks like a human body in a way. great work.
Awesome. Great b/w and shots
Great to see black & white again it adds a different depth to images.
