Hi all,
In response to a recent eye for clouds in B&W on this thread, here's
one of Stonehenge taken Saturday before last with Vario-Elmar 35-70/4:

Instead of using a red filter to accentuate clouds while taking the
picture, I started a red channel layer in Photoshop and adjusted
Levels till I got the above result.  Similar workflow in red channel
layer for a second view of Stonehenge:

Film was Ilford XP2 Super - very fine grain at 400ASA.  Same film used
to take shots inside Salisbury Cathedral, i in this case added sepia
tone & adjusted brightness and contrast in PS:

I really have a thing for arches, they captivated me as I captured
them on ths same roll, with no flash:

This one was taken with Fujicolor 200 and Metz flash.  Color was
desaturated (i.e. removed) then a sepia tone was added back:
