Sometime ago I did a Black and White post that I had
previously shared on Google+ and was asked to do more of these posts here on
blogger so I hope to do 1 a month on a Wednesday and today is the day for
it. Hope there is at least 1 shot you like. By the way, all photos are shot in colour and
then converted. That is a better way of
doing it.

thanks for all comments left on this post.
Altho, tigers are my favorite big cats, I do love this image....but, I think my favorite of the grouping is the Isle of Wight!!! There is so much ambiance in this image. A story in itself.
ReplyDeleteFabulous black and white photos. The first one of the spiral stairs reminds me of the inside of one of those beautiful nautilus shells. I love the tiger also, but all your photos are very striking in black and white.
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret, great B&W series... I love the staircase and the Cormorants on the rock.. The kingfisher is a neat bird. Great post, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful B&W shots! The spiral stairs remind me of the stairs to the top of the Iowa Statehouse--those were quite the climb!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous black and white photos!
ReplyDeleteSome things do look better in black and white, the first pic is very nice..............
ReplyDeleteWonderful B&W's.
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures in black and white.
First I find really quite wonderful.
Best regards, Irma
LOVE the staircase - great fibonacci sequence! :)
ReplyDeleteHow striking, all of them!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe first image I am green with envy over. It's your picture but had it been mine I would have rotated it CCW so that it started in the top right. I would have cropped square to get rid of the large detail at the bottom of the picture.
ReplyDeleteIt's just sour grapes I would love to have taken it.
Beatiful shots in B & W!
ReplyDeleteMost of these are fine example of blacks and whites with an excellent range of tones. One or two seem to lack the punch of a wide range. That's not to be taken as critical. You do B&W so we'll, I'd hope you many more pictures with a lack of color.
ReplyDeleteSo stunning, I can see why you were asked to show more!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful in b/w.
ReplyDeleteToday I really, really like the staircase (first) and the tiger (last). You mentioned that shooting in colour and then converting was the best way to do it. Can you tell me why?
ReplyDeleteHI EC I will give you a link to answer your question. http://digital-photography-school.com/black-and-white-digital-photography-in-camera-or-post-production/ If you shot in RAW which I do not, the answer could be slightly different and you can find that answer in Google on the web,
DeleteNice choices for monochrome. Lots of great contrasts.
ReplyDeleteI really like the chandelier. Glowing on it's own in B&W. And the Pied Kingfisher is wonderful.

These are wonderful! My favorites are the towpath, the cormorants, and the tiger. The first photo reminds me of the old Alfred Hitchcock movie, Vertigo I wish you would do a black and white post once a week, that would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteAll of these photos are beautiful. I especially like your first photo of the staircase.
ReplyDeleteIt;s hard to pick a favorite,but I really like the chandelier and the blossoms.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, Margaret! I especially like the first, second, and last photos. BTW, you asked where I find the time to write the Hodgepodge. It is actually the easiest post of the week to write, because Joyce has given us the prompts. All I have to do is write answers.
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret,
ReplyDeleteI liked all of them; particularly, the Pied Kingfisher and the Blossom.
Great photos!
Peace :)
All are great shots in black and white. My personal favorite is that circular staircase.
ReplyDeleteWonderful choices for B&W, Margaret! I love the chandelier and staircase!
ReplyDeletethese all work brilliantly, and surprisingly the Tiger tops the lot for me, excellent post.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo is especially fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love the first two photos, the lighthouse steps and the tiger best. Great idea, Margaret.
ReplyDeleteGreat images all of them but I do have two favourites. The first image is brilliant I like the "black hole" at the bottom. Also the Isle of Wight image is perfect.
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness, I love B&W! I always have, and thse make me wonder why I don't do more of it...or convert to B&W. When I had film cameras, I almost always kept B&W film in one camera.
ReplyDeleteVery nice b&w photos. I love the tiger.
ReplyDeleteI think the first one is my favourite. I would love to have some like that in my town to photograph :)
