Snæfell (1.833 meters high) one of the most beautiful mountains in Iceland.

I suspect it's a little higher than that. But hey, I'm an american, what do I know about the metric system. 
Nice capture and great b&w conversion. |

ROFL. Thanks, I needed that this morning w/ my hangover. :)
Nice photo. Was wondering if you have this in color for comparison? I'll check out your profile to see. |

| Nice image. In general, Icelands terrain doesn't seem to interest me but one thing that I've learned here at DPC is that it must be a great place to buy camera equipment. |

DOH!!! I just realized something... I know that in Brazil, and probably other parts of the world, the decimal is used as a thousands-separator and the comma is used to separate decimals.
In other words, one-thousand two hundred thirty-four and one half would be written 1.234,5 (instead of 1,234.5 the way we do here in the US).
So.... that 1.833 probably means one thousand eight hundred thirty-three meters high. In which case, it's a small, but nice sized mountain. :-)
See....? I may be just a stupid american ... but I'm not completely unintelligent. |

Yeah, I know. It's also the same in a lot of Asian countries. The "period" also substitutes for the dashes in phone numbers.
But, I still think it's funny! :) |

i was thinking 1.833 meters...what's that the height the camera was off the ground, then I realized as well that it is like a "," here in America.

Sorry guys about the decimal separator...
This is the tallest mountain in Iceland that is not a part of a glacier. In the lower right corner you can see trucks driving to/from Karahnjukar, which is one of the biggest hydro-electric projects being built in the world today (690 MW of power, and the longest tunnel-complex in the world, which consists of about 72 kilometers or 45 miles of tunnels).
We buy most of our camera gear through US stores, like Adorama or BH-photo.
Here is the original photo, resized and sharpened.
The conditions were very poor, a lot of mist in the air. This mountain can hide in the clouds for many days, and it´s very tricky to get a good picture of it. |

Hey, no prob! It's all in good fun! ;)
The color photo gives me a feeling of a dream-like state, and I like it because the color conveys how cold it must feel there. The shading in the b&w gives it a better contrast (IMO) :) |

Wow... I would never have guessed that the original looked anything like that. That's pretty amazing what you did!
I happen to like the original too... but wonder what it would look like if you simply brightened it (turn the whites white) and increased contrast a bit. |
