Your favorite B&W Photo: August 25-August31

[Robyn]

Paul Myers (@webfoot) just completed a year of hosting this thread, and I would like to thank him for his dedication! I'll try to pick up where he left off.

So, in following tradition, what's your favorite B&W photo over the past week, between August 25 and August 31?

Now, here's the new twist (new host, new rules?) ... Because I personally didn't take a decent b&w photo this week (hosting this thread will make me improve!), I'm going to suggest that you are welcome to post one of your own B&W photos, or a B&W photo of someone else this week, which ranks as your favorite B&W. I'm not trying to step on Lyn's toes (@lyno) by overlapping the "favorite fav" discussion, but I think by limiting it to B&W, it'll be o.k. (And, I'm sure if you disagree I will hear from y'all!)

You can post your favorite B&W photo by copying and pasting the code from the 'Share' box that's in your photo page, together with info on when it was taken. Part of the challenge is only selecting ONE picture, so no cheating!

So, I'm going to get us started with this quirky & fun B&W by Rich @rich57



I look forward to seeing your B&Ws!

The closest I have this week is a sepia one. Close enough?

[Robyn]

@mikehamm Definitely works for me, Mike! :)

I have never posted on this thread before.... actually I dont often post images on any of the threads but have decided it's time I did so....



I dont have many B&W but am going to make sure that I think about it more :)

[Leonie Mogridge]

Yay...I remembered to post a b&w this week!!

[Sarah]

[Robyn]

@peadar Not cheating, but it does make me wonder how it would look in true b&w. Nice photo!

[Tami Skipper]

This was my only B&W this week and it was my Get-Pushed-6 challenge, too.

loved this one by Jerry @orangecrush

[Michelle Blackford]

A favorite not because it's a stellar photo but because of the story behind it. :)

[Aaron]

Since @jsorensenart already posted my favorite above, here is my second favorite ;-)

Last night's "Blue Moon" which I had to shoot in B&W due to a smokey orange haze in the air caused by all of the forest fires around here.

One of the reasons I hosted that B&W thread was to push me to do B&W. I ended up with three shots this week, but this one wins, mainly because it's his birthday today. My baby boy is now 17 years old and just started his senior year in high school.

@pocketmouse produced this and it is fabulous

This one by default. Not been a good week for me on the picture front.

[Sally Ings]

I have chosen this one as I'm really not comfortable doing stranger nor street photography! We had a festival in the village and I founnd this elderly gentleman walking down the road totally oblivious to all that was going on around him!

[Inty Malcolm]

Didn't get much at all last week, B&W or not. Apart from this, which I'm really quite pleased with.
