Hey guys,

Sorry for the slight delay. I've been having 3 of those days in one.

Anyway, after the wild sucess of last month's Photo Project I thought I would follow it up with something completely predictable.

Since I was the first one here...:p...I figured i'd get things started!

This is my dashboard teddybear...

My first go at converting to B&W. I will shoot some in B&W soon.I liked how this one converted.

Yes, a very nice conversion indeed. Is it really your first?

I will have to do some digging and see if I can find my first from all those years ago...:p

I'm in the mood to share some really old stuff, so here are a few golden oldies from my DiMage 7i days...

These two are very old ones, but I figured I would post it now. Its from the Fond du Lac County Fair in 2003. I shot it with a Digital Rebel, but I couldn't tell you the shutter speed and aperture settings.

Great shot, pretty girl, just one question: Your daughter dances with a cat?

Thanks! Pumpkin the cat kept trying to get in on the shoot so I had Meg pick him up and asked for some Female/feline attitude. It worked.

Took this yesterday afternoon.

Taken from my car window in today's zero degree weather.

Braved the cold for the moon shot (My First) but stayed in doors for the rest. Have some outside ideas once the weather warms up. Currently in the single digits here.

Just for you, Almo :) . Got in about 30 minutes of hiking yesterday with temps topping out at about 6°F. Did find a gorgeous tree. Don't know if I did it justice here.

Bad weather, so I played with the lights again...

Fun with remotes...

Heres a few of mine for now. Just got into a photo class after being on a waiting list so I'll have lots more B&W to come but they take a little time as they will all be prints and have to be scanned.

I don't do much B&W, but I still love it...

Thank you so much :D

Hi all ... here is my little contribution to this month's project. It's called "Feet" and is a play on the word "feet" in the quote. This image appeared initially on the critique forum, but this is the tweaked (and final) version.

Cheers
Mike

I did this one up special for the project. What do ya'll think?

almo,

Did you take this through Glass? I have tried several times with little or no success. I like the way the fish looks like its just floating in air. Nice BW photo.

Scott,

The winding road is my favorite of these three!

You got to it before I did, I love that shot.

RW

Almo,

That is an unusually fine b/w of a fish.

Part of what might be a series . . .


http://gallery.photographyreview.com/data/photography//520/window1.jpg

Suprise, suprise, another portrait lol

almo,

LOL...

I love it when people ask that. If I didn't then my camera would be really wet :p

Yeah it's trough glass. All of my fish pics are through glass. Keep at it. It can be tricky, but the results can be outstanding!

Almo,

That is an unusually fine b/w of a fish.

Wow,

That is quite a compliment.

Thanks C.D.!

The new lens and a rough period of weather has really narrowed my shooting options lately. I'm trying to get the hang of this macro thing before all the lil creepy things come out. So, sorry about all the flora. Here's some of my Gerber daisies and marigold (perhaps sunflower of some variety) that recently bloomed.

I took this during a recent Ice storm. I converted to BW but it is not much different than the original. It was a very gray day.

OK....i finally found one i can turn B&W.... i will post the original B&W soon, just couldn't really find the time to go out...so here's my contribution:

Napoleon Complex

I think it fits the title...no? :D:D

Marc

Whenever i read up on a particular project i just love to let go of all the regular ways of looking at things and try to find something different...

My home lights are not that good for the moment, so after a bit of playing around, i was able to get something in B&W...this is in color.....as shot, except for the levels and a final crop...

I figured is the theme was b&w doesn't mean it is shot as greyscale or transformed into one (as my napoleon) but rather expressing b&w....so here's a piece of paper on a pillow....

I will fooling around with this tomorrow at work (havin a slow day hehehe:D)

I thought my daughter played the part of Mummy very well for me to take these pictures.

Mill in Smokey Mountains

I've always liked this one

I have mentioned before that Black and White is not my favourite medium but... here is my contribution to this months Photo Project.

Here's another one. It's a basket merchant in Egypt.

Cheers
Mike

Here's a shot I took a long, long time ago. I wanted my daughter to stand out, so I dropped all the hues and saturation except the red of her hat. It loses a lot from having to reimage the size though.

I took my Canonet for a walk downtown on President's Day loaded with a roll of Plus-X. These are all underexposed by about a stop, because of the light meter being off.

1. Good Hair (aka Rick Perry), on his way into the Capitol building.
2. Some monks getting their picture taken inside the Capitol building.
3. I liked the patterns in these buildings.

Here's my contribution
