On the Go

I've been busy writing over the last two days, so I did not get out and about as I'd hoped to. Oh well, that's why I took so many candids on Monday when I was running errands!

What an interesting challenge this has been! I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy a month's worth of black and white photography, but I think I did. That being said, I'm looking forward to tomorrow and posting a colorful shot I've been saving up for a few days. I hope that everyone who joined in on this adventure got something out of it and had fun exploring or stretching themselves in this genre. Now on to March!!
Great b&w

Wonderful angle. Great shot to end the challenge off with!

We are going to have a wealth of colour on March 1! Looking forward to it!

@kerristephens @salza @maggiemae Thank you Kerri, Sally and Maggie! I had hoped for a shot with more pizzazz, but this one will do in a pinch!
February 28th, 2013  
Great job with the B&W challenge. You created so many lovely, interesting images.
February 28th, 2013  
A great finale. looked over your calendar and it looks super..so what is on for March? anything exciting?
February 28th, 2013

@pflaume Thank you Lisa! It's the most black and white I've ever done!
@bruni Thanks Bruni! I'll be joining Alia's Me March Challenge http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/16728/me-march-challenge and working on a few of the Mull Over March words put together by Bulldog http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/16755/mull-over-march That should keep me busy enough!
@httpgeffed Thanks Colleen! I highly recommend Alia's challenge and Bulldog's too- they are always fun and creative.
@bkbinthecity Thanks Brian!

Great b&w. Thank you for the flash-o-red challenge!!!!!!!!!
February 28th, 2013  
I didn’t participate, but I’m having fun opening up everyone’s calendar to and seeing the flash of red!

Great angle and BW. I did not believe that I did a whole month of BW either.

@cnlane Thank you Nelly! I'm glad you had fun with it. I've been popping in on different calendars and they all look great!
@lisabell Thanks Lisa! When I thought up the idea I had an idea it would look pretty cool but I really wasn't expecting the impact it has when you look at all the shots that way. It turned out better than I thought it would.
@daisy Thanks Kathryn! I'm glad you stuck with it!
March 1st, 2013  
This is very cool. Love the angle and the processing.
March 1st, 2013  
@edie Thanks Edie! Glad you like it!
March 1st, 2013  
Cool perspective. Makes me think 'in a hurry'. I loved this challenge - I learned so much Ann. Thank you for putting this together. I'm going to attempt the Me March.

Eating on the run I see

@tara11 Thanks Tara! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. I did too! I'm also going to join Alia's challenge and I'll probably do a word or two from Bulldog's Mull Over March list as well. I can't believe it's March already!
March 1st, 2013  
@digitalrn Thanks Rick! Well, the driver of that car was. The driver of my car, that would be moi, was splurging on a mocha frappe. (o:
March 1st, 2013  
love it!
March 1st, 2013  
@annaruth Thanks Anna!!
March 1st, 2013  
i love the semi-dutch angle and i agree with tara @tara11 that it speaks of "in a hurry". thank you for the challenge, ann. on to coloured shots!
March 1st, 2013  
I've enjoyed your B&W shots.

Nice shot! Love the angle! Congrats on your completion of the Feb challenge! Well done, Ann! :)
March 1st, 2013  
I feel just like you did. I DID enjoy it! But I am ready to be unchained tomorrow! So it is a win win situation. Gave me a new focus, and then got me excited about the other things I like to shoot too! I see a lot of drive thrus.but with my restricted diet, I only get salads ....
March 1st, 2013  
You've done a fantastic job with your B&W's, Ann. It really draws my focus onto the picture, where I'm usually captured by the beautiful colors. Can't wait to see what you post tomorrow!
March 1st, 2013  
I like the angle on this one, but disappointed that you weren't spying on anyone!
Thanks for the Feb challenge! :)
March 1st, 2013  
Love the angle. Perfect in B&W.
March 1st, 2013  
Great capture Ann, sounds like you have been busy this week
March 1st, 2013  
Well done - great image.
March 1st, 2013  
Fun shot and I like the angle.

@summerfield Thank you Vikki! And thanks once again for being a faithful challenge buddy! This driver might have been in a hurry- it seems so when you have to get lunch on the run- but thankfully, I wasn't, so I was just getting a treat.
@eudora Thank you Diane! I know I will continue to take them. I don't like getting too stuck on any format. But it was a good stretch to limit myself to them for the month.
@prttblues Thanks Bev! It was a good challenge all the way around.
@espyetta Thank you MaryBeth and thanks for hanging in there with this challenge! I do find that black and white actually makes me take better color shots- it makes me more aware of the nuances of color. I wasn't getting lunch here. I generally don't eat at fast-food. But I am addicted to those mocha frappes! As I'm trying to be more careful about what and how much I eat, it's a huge treat to get one now!
@sandier Thank you Sandie! Something bright and colorful is on its way!
@alia_801 Thanks Alia- well I was taking an undercover shot- it's just my camera can't get the details inside the car. This person might have been able to see me in their rear-view mirror if they had thought to look. And the employee could also have seen me if he had looked around the window. I had hoped to go to the store, but didn't make it. Oh well- some other time!! Glad you liked the challenge- and now we're on to yours!

@sangwann Thank you Dione!
@nicolecampbell Thank you Nicole! Yes, a very busy week! But a good kind of busy.
@la_photographic Thank you Laura!
@cimes1 Thank you Carole!
March 1st, 2013  
Looking forward to seeing your take on colour!
March 1st, 2013  
Another great b&w. I like the angle of this. Sort of journalistic.
March 1st, 2013  
Another tilted shot, Ann? Once again I like it, and the contrasty processing works well.
March 1st, 2013  
I have enjoyed following your month's work. Limiting a picture to B&W really strips it to its essence,
March 2nd, 2013  
@naomi Thank you Naomi! I generally like to flop back and forth in all the genres, it just depends on what suits my fancy that day!!
@jesperani Thank you Jennifer! All these quirky angles are really due to the fact that it's a "shoot and run" type of photo!
@automaticslim Thanks Andy- some get titles, some don't! I was hoping to have better shots to end out the month with, but didn't really get out until today- which was too late! So, the shots were rather boring in my opinion! Processing to the rescue!
@allie912 Thank you Allison! I do like taking b/w in order to improve the way I see color and vice versa. It's been a good month, but I'm ready for March!
March 2nd, 2013  
I like the crazy angle here, really accentuates the lines in the photo... great subject for b & w!
March 4th, 2013  
@jackie8 Thank you Jackie! I think this is becoming my signature for street shots- crazy angles! I like taking the shot quickly and hopefully before anyone realizes what I'm doing. Although on the crosswalk shot (which is posted two days before this one) I was not so "lucky". One of my subjects figured out what I was doing anyway.
