Your Favorite B&W: Week of 12/29/12 - 1/4/13

[Paul Myers]

I haven't seen this thread in a couple of weeks, or perhaps I did and I'm just being clueless. I used to host this thread, then gave it up back in August and I think that was when my disconnect went into full force for my project. I like B&W and hosting this thread pushed me to do more black and white.

This is a B&W thread - for B&W photography where B&W is the main mode. Selective coloring is OK, Sepia is OK, but the images in this thread should mainly be monotone.

What's your favorite B&W photo from this past week? Share with us what you took this week. Please post only one B&W photo you took. Didn't take a B&W this week? That's OK. Post a B&W from someone else's project that you really fell in love with this week.

Find the B&W you want to share and then copy and paste the code into a reply. You'll find the code below the Facebook and Twitter buttons on the right hand column of that photo.

Here's mine, taken on the 2nd of January.

Thank you for picking up the hosting of this thread again!

[Aaron]

I think @rockinrobyn has been hosting this religiously for quite a while now, you must have missed it (I love this thread)!

This one:

[Aaron]

@catwhiskers Oh yes, I love that one too! :)

[Katharine Hubbard]

[Gemma]

Here's mine, my new years resolutions. Day 3 and still going strong :-D

[Jo]

[Carla]

[Michelle Blackford]

Something quite different for me...

[Lesley Chisholm]

This isn't technically a black and white, but it may as well be!

[Ashley]

I'll go with this one:

[Luka]

[Cheri M.]

[April Milani]

The window light makes me happy

[Amanda R.]

Didn't take one, but I love this one by @farrah - she loves her coffee! :)

[Farrah]

@carolinejensen did a wonderful job at capture expression

[Farrah]

@emrob Thanks Mandy!

[Paul Myers]

@rockinrobyn I hope I didn't step on anyone's toes here.

[Sarah]

[❀ Lynn]

this one by Anatoly....@anden

[Robyn]

@webfoot not at all! I was glad to help out when you wanted a break, but I just wrapped up year one and I wasn't sure how much longer I would want to host it, so your timing is great!

[Anne]

For me it has to be this ... my first time on PP in 2013 !

[Dorrena Ortega]

[Helen]

[Charlie]

Here's mine from 2 days ago.

[Tanja Carda]

My only b&w this week

[Crystal]

[Helene]

A huge thank you to all of you who already commented and faved this picture. I appreciate even more because I love it.

[Jeff Walker]

I actually get to use one of my own this week!

[Nancy]

Going to try to just do B&W in one of my other albums this year. I have a lot to learn.

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Not my favorite ever, but it's my first of the the new year...

[Simply Amanda]

I loved this one by Jenn @shutterbugger

[Hillary Torrey]

[e.gad]

My little guy is becoming very expressive!

[Lyn]

because I rarely do b&w and because it's my get-pushed challenge for the week (as well as something I am going to push myself to work on!):

[bardejov]

[Paul Myers]

@lyno I like the abstractedness of this shot.

[Suzan Macco]

My Granddaughter feeling under the weather:

[kirpppu]

Has to be this one. The weather was surreal. People disappeared into the fog, foghorns were honking. And then it was suddenly over.

[Edie]

This one. On my uncle's farm. Amazing snow that day.

[Wilkesie]

For me it's this one from @mbw1222 Michelle Brown Wheat

[Carrie Oakey]

[Cromwell]

This one from Cathy Donohoue @cdonohoue

[Danny G.]

This stunner by @shutterbugger

[Wendy Bowden]

[Paul Jones]

[Tonia]

Honestly, I haven't taken pictures solely in B&W since I had a fully manual camera. I think I'm going to try more this year.

[Andreas]

Definitely this one

[Lance]

[Lisabell]

I need to experiment in b&w more. Here's mine.

[Spirrow]

Yay, I always look forward to this thread :) I fav'd a whole host of photos this week, but if I have to choose one, this is from Odinn Dagur Bjarnason.

[Gabriel Siqueira]

[Rachel Hope]

My only B&W this week

[Liane]

[Katherine Hodgson]

[ValHamil]

I just took this one yesterday- I loved her wistful expression

[David Price]

This difficult decision was made easier by other people posting my other favourites but this one missed out.



@trixiehiscock

[Mick]

This one from @peadar



and one from myself....

[Juliette Packham]

[Samantha Willoughby]

My own, my last shot of that day and not what i had gone to shot...

[Dave Richmond]

[Katie]

took this one just today :)

[Dave Richmond]

I also like this one:

[Peter de Graaff]

@webfoot @rockinrobyn you have both been doing a great job think last weekend the thread got buried under newbie posts. Also like innovation of posting ab&w of someone else that was liked

[Prochownia]

[Robyn]

Bundled:

[Peter de Graaff]

[Michelle]

[Nicole Campbell]

[Kathy A]

I very rarely take b&w so here's one I love by @andycoleborn

[Sam C-R]

some cracking shots in this bunch!

Heres mine jan 1st

[Bankmann]

I love this for the mood I was able to capture:

[Hamish]

I've not taken any black and whites this week.

Well actually that's not entirely true, I have, but I've not developed the film yet - maybe when I develop them next week I'll post a few of them!

[ElliotWB]

This was mine:

[andy c]

Those dates look a bit misleading to me :-)

Have uploaded a few B&W's to my oldies album but only actually took one in the last week so have pasted that one...

[Elizabeth]

by @mrsb1980 so sweet!

[Elizabeth]

@nicolecampbell This is so beautiful!

[AutomaticSlim]

@alpeedee Nice SOTD photo Lance! Might have to do one of those myself soon, it's been a while. :-)

Mine:

[Jennifer]

Since I just started, my one and only B/W/Sepia

[☠northy]

since most of mine are in b&w and i would likely pic the same one for the "fav of own project" on Sunday, I am picking this one by @eyesofbetsie

[Betsie's Pinto Pony]

@webfoot Paul, thanks for that comment on my staples! It was a fun one - and very different for me! Also, thanks MUCH for taking this thread back up as I was worried that Robyn's having finished her project might just get it lost! I think it's lovely that the three Favorite Favs threads keep going.
