Post your best Black and White Photo
When people look at my photos, most do a double take at this black and white. It may be because 99% of mine are in color, and this one isn't. But anyway, here's mine lets see your best B&W photo.

I like it, feels very powerful and mysterious.

Re: Post your best Black and White Photo
Awesome picture. I love how you don't really know that it is raining except under the light posts. Awesome composition.

Re: Post your best Black and White Photo
Colin - I like the lighting in the first picture...the dark smoke is highlighted well from behind...looks very dramatic (almost like a doomsday "we're killing the planet" kind of feel to it).

Re: Post your best Black and White Photo
Thanks Madison and Sean.
The Dog was hanging out a car door window at the Kihei Cafe in Maui. I didn't get a model release for that, so don't tell the dog owner. I don't know if you can make out the info on the dog tag anyway... I would have paid him in food, but...
The smoke, I think, is actually steam from a sugar cane processing plant. Istopped forthe light through the steam, which to be honest I really coudln't get in it's full wonder, but the part I noticed later, which I find kind of amusing, and fitting with your doomsday scenario, is the pigeon/dove sitting on the line in front of (and looking underneath) the smoke stack, kind of an environmental commentary, even if the real thing was far less menacing. But, I like the doomsday angle. Far more entertaining.

Re: Post your best Black and White Photo
Can I post a sepia picture too? or that requires it's own thread? [^o)][:P]

Re: Post your best Black and White Photo
Sepia is cool too. Have at it.

Re: Post your best Black and White Photo
I'd like to resurrect this post because I really love good BW photos but find them very challenging. It would be great to see some of your best shots and hopefully glean some of your secretes to getting some good results. Please show and tell, I'd love to see what you've got and to learn a few things from you.

Re: Post your best Black and White Photo
I second that about both of you Denise and Gregg.
And nice B&W, Brian, the zeiss fan club grows.

Re: Post your best Black and White Photo
Nice work guys, I especially like your tram Gregg. I like the Railroad museum too, there's something unique about photographing kids from behind, this perspective sort of puts you in their world allowing you to experience their moment with them. A great memory shot thekingb.
Don't forget to share any tips you may have. ( If you would like to critique any of my BW feel free to click on my image to visit a few more, brutal honesty is welcome, even desired).

Re: Post your best Black and White Photo
Thus far, the hardest photo to take/edit is Black & White as there are simply so many iterations that can be applied, but if done right, could make an *ugly duckling* truly beautiful.
Here are a few from our trip to Italy...
