Oh yes!!! These both are terrific. Why, just look at the captured sparkle of the tire's spokes. Well done, well done indeed.


Here is my link to my shadow shots If a tree falls in the swamp, do you HEAR it?

Hope you're having a great weekend.

These shots are really nice! I don't do it often enough myself, but really do love b&w photography. The grain on that wood is gorgeous. Hi from SSS :)

i like the way the old wooden fence comes out in B&W. :)

Hey Bud, I'll take you mountain bike riding up in my Annadel State Park. Even though it is one of the 80 state parks slated to be closed we can still hike and bike ride the 40 miles of trails. Great B&W Genie. I really should do more of it myself.

How appropriate to put the horseshoe shot in black and white. It gives a feeling of bleakness to a place no longer inhabited...

EVERYWHERE SHADOWS

Shadows above and shadows below,
Shadows that blaze and shadows that glow;
Shadows outside and shadows indoors,
Shadows on trees and shadows on floors;
Everywhere shadows calling my name,
Everywhere shadows no one can tame.

Lesley said...

You did a great job on these photos, Genie! I love the first one with the light glinting off the spokes and the intensity of the tree bark.

Ms. Becky said...

I like the high contrasts in both these shots which gives the black and white images lots of snap. Well done.

Fantastic light and contrasts in these monochrome images.

Love the textures of the post and old horseshoe in the second photo.

I especially like the bike photo--with the sunshine reflected on the front wheel.
