I tried to capture that "fields of gold" look that was generated by the late day sun setting on yellow reeds.
It sort of works but still feels rough compared to some of the others on this thread so if anyone has any tips for improving that would be greatly appreciated.

Rare arctic weather phenomenon: a fog bow showing up over the snow covered plains. Similar to a rainbow, but doesn't display any colors.

I'm not much of a landscape guy...
 
But here's one from a couple of weeks ago, before even Portugal got to cold and wet to leave the house!

Yes, gradient is like using a graduated filter on the lens
 

My favourite method for converting Color photos to B&W, has to be Photoshop Gradient map. I watched a video which walked through about 8 different methods, but the gradient map seemed to retain the largest tonal range of colors when converted into B&W. I shoot 100% of my photos in color, but end up converting a lot to B&W in post. Usual method is to fully edit for color in Lightroom, transfer to Photoshop only to apply the "Gradient Map", then bring it back to lightroom and adjust levels to taste.
 
Here's an example of the look when finished:
 

 
I've tried just editing in Lightroom by switching to the B&W panel, but for some reason it often reduces the overall tonal range of colors. Gradient map is visibly better, every time (and it's a very simple conversion!)
