Skiddaw in Winter
Cumbria, England It was an extremely cold winter’s evening and freezing fog hung in the air. I climbed to the top of a small rise and realised that the mist was little more than a few feet deep, and though it was only a short climb, I found myself completely above it and looking at a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sum setting in the west. I used classical techniques, translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop, to achieve the black—and—white image（图像）.
英格兰坎布里亚。那是一个极其寒冷的冬天晚上，空气中弥漫着冰冷的雾气。我爬到一个小山丘的顶端，意识到薄雾只有几英尺厚，虽然爬升不高，但我发现自己完全处于雾气之上，看到了西方日落下的Skiddaw，景色清晰明了。我运用从黑暗室中度过大学时光学到的经典技巧，通过Photoshop将图像呈现成了黑白。

Macclesfield
Forest
森林
Cheshire, England I was back in my home town of Macclesfield to take some winter images. Walking up a path through the forest towards Shutlingsloe. a local high point, I came across a small clearing and immediately noticed the dead yellow grasses set against the fresh snow. The small pine added to the interest and I placed it centrally to take the view from the foreground right through into the forest.
英格兰柴郡。我回到我的家乡Macclesfield拍摄一些冬季照片。沿着通往当地高地Shutlingsloe的小路走去，我来到一个小空地，立刻注意到了枯黄的草在新雪中的景象。小松树增加了视觉趣味，我将其置中，使视线从前景贯穿整个森林。
