Very crisp shot Steve.
Here's my latest B&W creation, taken today just before a storm came through.

Nikon D5100, 18-55mm VR, 1/250 sec, f/18, FL 35mm, ISO 200
Not sure if these are among my better b&w shots, but they are more recent. Here are a couple from a trip to Poland. First one is from a park in Warsaw.

This image was just me messing around with a flash and a bucket of water...

Thanks OJ, I like the light in this cloud shot and your submission in the assignment.
@ bgood, the location of the second shot adds poignant relavancy to the treatment of that B&W shot, good work.

All these latest shots are wonderful! Each one is done so differently but yet they are perfect for the scene they depict!
Tomorrow, I will have Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 and I just hope I can learn to use it appropriately & produce b&w photos as beautiful as all of you!

Took these while the girls were playing in the park. Used NIK software.
