Black And White Photos Post 'Em

[csf]

Thought I might start a thread dedicated to black and white images and/or toned images. My preference is generally towards making b&w or toned images (shooting digital & converting). If you like post up your black and whites!

I shot this image over the weekend. while shooting something else I saw my friend there and screamed to him, don't move! took the shot and worked it up that night.

FYI shot w/ my trusty s90 worked up in LR 3 and finished in CS5. I just started using LR and CS5 last fall. Prior to that I was using CS2 and using channel mixer to convert to black and white.

Looking forward to seeing some of your pics!

Great photos! Its so refreshing to see B&W images when we are surrounded by so much colour.

Great pic! Excellent to see a B&W that isnt digital (not saying the others are, this photographer just happened to post the type of film they used).

This wasn't bike related, but it's always been one of my favorites.
I took this during a pow wow at the Grand canyon.

Not exactly a trail picture but here is a sprocket with some chain. I have a few hiking B&W pictures but I tend not to risk my manual cameras in a bike crash; and some of them are too heavy for trail use anyway (8x10 etc) .

fricking awesome! great grain... most B/W just look like a color pic converted. this looks like a true BW.

what lense and camera?

Thank you for your kind words Broomhandle. Camera: Exakta RTL 1000, lens: Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 4/20. Both are marvels of East German engineering from 1970s but I took the picture only a couple years ago.

I agree with German Engineering. I shoot with Leica.

Was this one taken with a flash? It almost looks like your bike in front of a poster.
I <3 NM, too.

I cant remember, but probably.

I'll use the flash on point-n-shoot for fill.


I don't do B&W very often, usually I am snapping blazing color pix of sunsets from the Foothills trails above ABQ.
