Rense, you are on fire these days. Stunning images. I can imagine a book of the same title.

Thank you, Rob! Only a pitty these are older captures, from a few years back. But sitting at home due to a recovery from a shoulder operation made me going through my old photos and made me rediscover my old passion: B&W landscapes! And I am considering some larger prints for hanging or a book indeed.... Not sure about a book though.... I would very much like it, but I am not very happy with the photo album print facilities in the NL.... They don't do real B&W printing, I think, and I don't know about POD and the prices they ask.... So, I have to investigate, I guess....

Sorry to hear about your op. I hope it doesn't affect your trigger finger! On the plus side, it's good to take time out and review your work.

Gorgeous images again, Rense and I love the drama in them. A book would be great - have you looked at Blurb. I have bought several from them, including some in B&W, and they have been very impressive.

I have to agree with the two "gentlemen" and I have heard only good things about Blurb.

@Pete Askew - do you order a Blurb book from within Lightroom?

You can use that for the template when creating one I believe. I have never produced one (although I keep meaning to for the images from HK) but I have bought a few from the website created by other photographers. I was impressed.

Yes Rob you can and are very good I use it to print proof books for clients and was impressed with them now I use them all the time for proof books.

Sorry Rense another fine set theres something about the first image I really like but can't seem to put my finger on what exactly it is.

NO problem at all, thank you! I am following the discussion with attention, I will give it a try via LR (if possible from LR4....).
@Pete, Rob: thank you for both the compliments and the suggestion of BLURP

I thought Blurb were in America, and ordering from them would incur import taxes, etc. They have a UK base?

European Base I think mine come from Germany but never really took any notice to be honest
