Mt. Jefferson, a volcano in the Cascade Mountains, towers over the landscape of central Oregon. I captured this photo on an exceptionally clear day (through a spotless airplane window), and converted it to black and white using Exposure X6 software with the Ilford HP5 Plus film style.

Our December Editors' photo challenge theme is "Shades of Gray. "
This month, we're celebrating the art of black and white photography. Whether you're focused on the interplay between light and shadows, ethereal high-key images, or using darkness to create mood and mystery, we challenge you to show us the world in monochrome. Strip away the color and show us your best black and white images!
Photos can be submitted between Sunday, December 14, and Saturday, December 20 (GMT). The challenge is open to photos captured at any time.
Important: Images MUST include a title and a caption of at least 25 words to be eligible. We need to be able to share the story behind your photo. We will consider both photos and captions when selecting our winners, so make sure to tell us that story!
Visit the challenge page to read the full rules and to submit your photos for consideration as soon as the challenge opens.
