2009 April Project: B&W

I LOVE B&W pictures. Especially warm B&W.
Let's see what BW's you love. (You don't have to add a tone to the BW if you don't want to. Post what you love best).
Have fun! :thumbsup:

Sorry if it is not OK to jump in so soon or be the first to reply...

I don't do B&W's very often, but here's two relatively recent ones:

Wow that was fast work Alex lol.
Wonderful shots.

Here's an older one that I have.

Shot in colour, even turned up the colour, found none :)

The Lister Storm really is black & white !
A nasty challenge to photograph at night, with the reflective lettering.
Daytime pic of the car attached just to show it really is black :)
Around 80m away with 580EX flash on full power.

I shot this with our point and shoot today. (Canon SX 110 IS).
Pretty much reflects my mood today :sad:

I need to make some new b&w images. Don't know if I ever posted this one before..

From the recent snow storm. - TF

Whereas I love the high contrasty stuff.

Not her usual happy smiley pose, reflects your mood, I think.

One from last Sunday.

I shot this a while ago, but just had the film developed tonight.

Thanks PC.
I gasped when I saw yours! lol
With my models and your mountains, wow, what beautiful photographs we could make together :D

Victoria's Moon.

My friends finally got to say hello to their baby girl, Victoria, at 5:53am today.
I haven't had the pleasure of meeting her yet, but, I took a couple of pictures for them anyway.
I took one of the weather today and one of the moon this evening.

Shot this at 8:22pm. Not a cloud in the sky. Yay!
And I haven't even converted it to BW :D

Candid street work.

"Google' getting into the trash.

I shot this today :thumbsup:

This Lifeboat Monument was erected in May 1888, in memory of the 27 lives that were lost trying to rescue another crew in December 1886.

LOVE how the afternoon sun was lighting the statue.
And he almost looks like he is posing for me doesn't he? :D

I'm not sure why I feel compelled to post more, but here are two from today and one from a while back.

Great stuff. The first two remind me a little of Ray Metzger.

Thanks for the nice comment. I wasn't too sure about them and debated whether I should post or not, but figured - what the heck?

Wow, those are fantastic!

This is my first post. I think that there's a lot of talent on this site. I can hardly wait to get feedback and learn from all of you. These are a few shots that I took this past summer. Thanks - Jeff

Love that crow and moon shot, Stephenson. Welcome to the forums.

Wide angle candid.Point & shoot w/camera hanging from the neck. :D

Rick

Great shots everyone!

Another contribution to this thread. Went out for a walk today when I happened to spot a shiny little eye tracking my every move from under a log. Not a squirrel...

Here are a few recent pictures I have taken. You've probably seen some them before though.

Victoria's moon. So called, because it is named after my friend's baby girl. I shot this on the evening of her birth.

http://alisongreenwoodphotography.co..._2557_550c.jpg

Then I took pictures of Victoria when she was 6 days old.

Daddy's girl.

Wow, I've been so tied up in things lately I haven't even posted to this months project. Anyway I'm making up and posting some of my favorite B&W's.

Cheers, S

Daddy's Girl is simply fantastic, Alison.

Thank you Paul. The Dad LOVES it too! :thumbsup:
The colour version is on my site.

Here are some that I just took the other day. Original was color then converted it in PS.

James

A few more I took a couple of weeks ago at the "Dubai Mall" - Dubai. I like the shadow cast by the last three. S

PC, great shots, the 3rd is brilliant. I took a peak at your flickr shots, really good well done. S

One from a while back, some may remember other shots from this series.
