Post your best Black and White Photo

Denise, I got some good detailed info from Keith in this thread, toward the end of the page.

Thanks, I will give Keith

Another go at B&W for me.

Very good.

Agreed William, good work Denise.

Finally got around to editing some older pictures. I wasn't impressed with this image when I took it last summer, but I played with it a bit and converted it to black and white and thought the result was worth sharing.

I just so happen to be doing lots of b&w photos recently. Almost at 50% b&w. Glad I found this thread... lots of inspiration to keep going with b&w.

For the first few years of photography, I held the view that there is no point to b&w white as there is always so much color to play with. I only took maybe a handful of b&w photos over 2 years. I took more pictures intended to be converted to black and white over the past month than I would have in 5 years at the pace I was going. I'm starting to even think color can be a little tacky with some shots.


One major thing that I have realized to be a vital tool to capturing high dynamic images, with least distraction; a lens that has excellent flare control. Nobody has ever told me how important flare control can be.
