These shots are literally B&W (not grayscale) <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />.... Very contrasty and powerful.
Speaking of B&W; Ansel Adams and his Zone concept in B&W produces very stunning images with remarkable dynamic range.
Just type "ansel adams yosemite" in Google image search and take a peek...

Hi Serkan, yes Metzker's photos are very contrasty. Unfortunately most of the scans on the internet don't reflect the quailty of a good book of prints, but that's the case with a great many masterpieces.
I love the work of Ansel Adams too, he was a true pioneer in landscape photography as well as being a technical genius. There's one particular photo called "The Tetons and the Snake River" which is absolutely stunning, especially considering that it's now 70 years old. He was another photographer who had incredible patience to wait for exactly the light conditions he wanted for a shot.
BC: With respect, I didn't want to just post a load of photos - I think most people know how to use Google. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> I was more interested in exchanging ideas and inspirations or discussing great photographers.
