A few B/Ws

[hvyas]

Thanks, Dipankar for your nice words. As I have said earlier, the basic conversion and processing was done with Nik's Silver effex pro. Thereafter normal pshop tools such as dodge/burn, sharpen etc were used selectively.  I have seen Himalayan series of Mr Ashok Dilwali. Mine are no match for his masterpieces  :)

Your third and fourth shots are similar, if not better, of my mentor, Mr Ashok Dilwali.

Thanks, Bharat,Nishit, Thad E G and Ashutosh for your nice words  :)
Bharat-These were captured on Pentax K5ll and basic processing was done with Nik's Silver Effex Pro plugin. During my analog days I used to do a good deal of b/w, experimented with Ansel's Zone system, Parry Yob's YOB system and Glen Fishback's Fishback system. All this helps in digital too. I have been a hobbyst all through and today at 78 continue to enjoy it a lot  :)
