Black and White Book Club 27

The weekly trip to the supermarket provided me with today's adventure in black and white. I was getting some diced tomatoes when I noticed the cans on the lower shelves really had a nice pattern to them.

Shot in color, sharpened, increased contrast to intensify the red labels, converted to black and white with a blue filter, and adjusted the contrast further to increase the distinction between the black and white areas. Added a black border.
Cool shot

Nice shot. Love the perfect circles and how the silver although black and white still looks shiny. Well done Ann! )

Great contrast, cool pattern! The border is a nice touch to this one, I think.

@thepinchins Thank you Pinchins! It's funny but the supermarket is one of my favorite places to find pictures. I think the guys who watch on the security cameras probably think I'm quite eccentric! That's ok with me (o:

@gratefulness Thank you Sandi! It's a simple "border" frame with the inside color shrunk to 0 and the outer color in black at 10. My theory is that frames should complete a picture or look like they are a part of the picture, not distract you from it.

Nice capture

@kporte Sorry I missed thanking you for this comment Keith! Just saw it while I was looking for something else today. Talk about being overdue!
