The Gallery - Black and White
This week's theme for The Gallery is Black and White. I love black and white photography, more so then I love colour. I feel you get a much greater depth of detail and emotion with black and white. There is nothing I love more then getting out there with my camera and experimenting with the black and white function.
As ever I have mixed results most of the time but there are occasions, usually by accident, when I take a photograph that I am extremely pleased with. Below are two examples of such photographs.
I wish I could state that it was simply skill, but it's really more a case of being in the right place at the right time.

I love that second photo - I would almost be inclined to have it made into a print
ReplyDeleteLovely pics - I particularly like the first one, very eery and the black and white really does the second one justice.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos. You should definitely have them made into prints.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, full of suggestion
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. I like both, the first is so atmospheric and the second is dramatic.
ReplyDeleteI love b&w photos as I find them very soothing. You certainly posted beautiful relaxing ones there :) Jen
ReplyDeleteBoth very atmospheric - the magpie in the second pic matches the theme too!
ReplyDeleteThe sky in the 2nd photo is beautiful. I've never used the B&W function on my camera (I don't even know if it has one!)
ReplyDeleteWow what truly gorgeous photos. I love them, especially the single magpie one. Something creepy but enchanting about a cemetary I think. x
ReplyDeleteWow - these are really stunning photos!
ReplyDeleteI like these very much, particularly the second one.
ReplyDeleteI love black and white photography too! Ansel Adams is a big favorite of mine as well as Frank Sutcliff who does some lovely sepia toned photos of Whitby where I grew up! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, particularly the second one - I just love the menacing sky.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, the sky in the second one... it's haunting! Gorgeous black and whites. :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots, agree with The Moiderer 2nd one would make a superb print :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful BW pics
ReplyDeleteOoooo they are brilliant! Well done you!
ReplyDeleteI like the first shot. The lighter coloured triangle in the background almost makes it look as though the statue is in a spotlight of some kind :)
ReplyDeleteThey are both beautiful photos. I love the second one most; the magpie is so clear and yet shouldn't be as you can only see the outline! Fab x
ReplyDeleteI love the second photo, and I'm in total admiration with the one bellow, the water drop; did YOU take it ? YYou are so brilliant !!!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. The cemetry one is so eeiry and yet so peaceful looking!

ReplyDeleteReally striking pics. The magpie really makes it for me. Great entries :)
