We had a strong inversion weather situation last week - 20 years ago it would probably have meant deadly fog, but now it meant cold and frosty nights, but sunny and very unseasonally warm days.

Some pictures of the frosty mornings in reply - c+c appreciated.

nice shots thorsten. I particularly like the light in 1, the detail in 3 and the colours in 6. What metering did you use and what if any PP did you do?
 
Very nice photos. I enjoyed all of them.

Awesome !!
 
Thank you all for the nice comments. dmoore asked for metering and processing info. They were all metered with centre weighted average - I rarely use anything else. The first two foggy images were actually fairly much spot on (guess it really is fairly much 70% grey...), for the clematis' I ended up correcting the exposure down a bit after checking the first photo. Those images I ended up using iso 800 to get enough DOF (and my fingers were too cold to keep the camera still), in the last two images I used the popup flash.

Post processing was done in Bibble and gimp. I was very tempted to change the black levels as Alfisti suggested, but decided against it - it much more matches the mood as it was. For the first two images, B&W conversion used the Andy Pro plugin (with Agfapan 25/Refinal 6 min/Agfa multicontrast paper filter 2 simulation, if you must know ;-) and one of the Tony Pro silver presets for the toning. The other B&W also used Andy plugin, but with a harder paper contrast, and no toning. Final processing in Gimp used the Greycstoration plugin on the seedhead images to reduce noise a bit, and then very gentle sharpening (radius 0.1, strength 0.3 or so) after rescale on all the macros. For the last image, I also used the trick to duplicate the image and use soft light on the top layer (effectively giving an s-shape contrast curve).

I like the first one - it is wondeful - and the last one best.

That first one is a very good shot Torsten, a bit more contrast and stronger blacks as had been said and it's a winner IMO , Congradulations.
