De La Warr pavilion (again!)

I am not good at knowing what makes a good black and white image, but the de la Warr pavilion, with its 1930s styling seemed to fit the bill!

i do enjoy B&W architectural captures, well done!!

[Claude Trew]

Black and White suits that building, it makes it more noticeable somehow.

I love these Art Deco buildings.

@karvelis @claudiet @colinbarber013 Thank you. I think architecture suits black and white well, but I don't seem to have the right images for it!!

[Jean Karvelis]

@megpicatilly oh i dont know, i think you really nailed it with this one. there is an almost film quality to this one and with the tonal values and contrast it reminds me of B&W's my father took in the late 60's and early 70's

[Chillen]

Contrast, clear lines, interesting shapes, got all the b&w ingredients Catherine. Well captured.

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Great bw image with a highkey look also

[Catherine]

@karvelis Thank you. I really appreciate your comment - this being a 1930s building with its curves, perhaps makes a reasonable black and white.

[Catherine]

@chillen Thank you. I never really know with black and white - thought this building might just do it!

[Catherine]

@ziggy77 Thank you. The sky was quite grey at the time, so was able to give it the high key feel. Thank you for the fav too.

[Chillen]

@megpicatilly sometimes I process a colour and black and white version of the same image to decide which looks better. In the end, if you like it b&w, stick with it and stuff the rest of us.

[Catherine]

@chillen I have got both, but the B & W does look better. Would I ever stuff the rest of you?!!!

Fantastic architecture shot! B&W really brings out the strong shapes and lines

[Paul]

Think you got this right. Nice lines, nice contrast. Perfecto 😊

[Catherine]

@blueace thank you. Never quite sure what makes a good b & w image!

[Catherine]

@paul10 thank you Paul. Really struggle with black and white

[Walks @ 7]

I like this in B&W, the lines and curves are rather nice. Also nice tonal contrast. Good job. Does look rather nice on black too.

[Dawn]

Cool lines and curves suits b &w

[Catherine]

@dawnee thank you. Hoped this one would work in black and white

[Sue]

Fantastic shot Catherine. It works so well in b&w, as it emphasises the lines and curves. Fav

[Catherine]

@suesouthwood thank you! And for the fav
I am not good at b & w but this seemed to work reasonably well

[Sue]

@megpicatilly I think a month of b&w did teach me something. There are some things that work well, and some that don't. Architecture generally seems to work well

[Catherine]

@suesouthwood yes you are right. Strong lines work well and architecture often has these

[Francisca Perez]

Yes, b&w makes this a great picture.

[bkb in the city]

Definitely looks good in b/w
