Your Favorite B&W: Week of Jan 12 - Jan 18

[Paul Myers]

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.

I didn't post any B&W images this week, so I'm posting one from Harry Benson @hjbenson because I really liked the symmetry of the shot.

[Robyn]

[Steve Purcell]

I took numerous B&W this week for the Get Pushed Challenge, this was my fav and the one I used

[Mike Gifford]

I had fun shooting all sorts of women at a trade expo in NYC - 50 Shades of Boots.

[Jase]

That is such a great shot @rockinrobyn and you know my feelings about kid shot's :)

[Jennifer Ruge]

[Caz]

This is mine. I was challenged by a fellow 365'r to take at least one B&W a week as it was not something I normally do. I have to say I really enjoyed it.

[Gabriel Siqueira]

This was mine.

[Therese]

Here's mine... taken by my sister... :D Dominique! @victorypuzzle

[Dominique]

@monkeykid Thank you! :)

[Danny G.]

I took this one.

[Lili]

Here is my only B&W shot I took this week:

[Gemma]

Just a bit of fun :-)

[Lyn]

I did more in b&w this last week of my project than normal, partly because I felt that it was a missing element in my capability to "see" the beauty in black and white (in my OWN shots!), so I was please with this one:

[Jase]

[joey d.Muli]

this is what i feel when i don't have photo to post here..

[Mike]

This one. Taken during our trip to Seattle this past weekend. I think this second year's 365 will have more people shots in it as I'm trying to get over that uncomfortable feeling I get when shooting people.

[Kimberly Balychev]

I didnt have a B&W so here is one of my Favs from this week. I stared at this for hours and just smiled and laughed and wanted to pet this fella :) Amazing capture my dear! @herecirm

[Aaron]

Kodak TMAX 100

[Mick]

I really like this a lot by @jo13 and just three weeks into the project too :)

[Shirley Jess]

SNOWFLAKE COLLAGE

[Michelle]

While not the best shot technically, I love it because of how excited and happy he is in it :)

[Miley]

Okay, I'm not sure if this is breaking the rules, as I've posted it for the 11th, it was taken in the small hours of the morning, which was officially the 12th! It's my favourite anyway!

[Al Perry]

[Jo]

@bluefirebucket Thanks very much for the mention Mick, I really appreciate it.

[Nicole]

Only colorful shots in my project this week, but i really love this shot of northy @northy. It is a normal alley, but the processing gives it something really special!

[Jim]

Another week of no b/ws from me, but this one by @kwind was really special

[Lesley Chisholm]

Only one this week.

[Peter H]

My only B&W of the week.

[K1W1]

I only have one this week.

[Leah]

[John Newman]

Mine from the Derbyshire Dales

[lindseyingphoto]

I just love the story this one tells (by @nadines)

[Lisabell]

I don't do a lot of black and white, but I just bought a cheap Groupon for an online course so I have a feeling I'll be doing more! Here's one from this week.

[Valerie D]

My only B&W from this week. My daughter, and a selfie in her eye, which I noticed after the fact.

[Jeff Walker]

I did this shot because of this thread LOL... and having learned a new editing technique, was extremely excited with the end result.

[Prochownia]

[Brandie]

[mizhayz]

[Spirrow]

[Anna Ruth]

[Simon]

[Paula]

only one I did and this was shot on Kodak TMAX400 developed by hand and then printed.

[Kelly Jacobi]

This one got me out of my comfort zone.

[DavidCHR]

My entire 2013 project will be B&W (or at least monochrome)... Here is my favourite from this week:

[Amy]

Is it too much to post one of myself? :P It's the only B&W I've done this week!!

[Julie]

[Katie Busick]

tried this for the leading line challenge

[Taffy]

I wanted to do something with shape and contrast so here is that attempt.

[andy c]

@mizhayz thanks :-)

[Ed]

[june milner]

[Samantha Willoughby]

[Sarah]

[Val]

The only B&W photo I posted this week... and it's one of my favorites from my whole project!

[Anne]

[Jeff]

Is this brown and white? It was black and white and I added tones to it. I will remove it if its offensive to the B&W family :D

[Al Bailey]

This is a sepia shot that I am very proud of ..... it may not be perfect but it is my first ever macro capture of snowflakes :)

[Katie]

This is my first attempt at a low light (one light) portrait in black and white. I would love feedback and suggestions too.

[David H.]

[Leslie]

[LittleBlueWren]

I always post black and white portraits, so something a little bit different this week.

[Frank Hymus]

I took but one B/W this week, and it's pretty simple. A small architecture shot.

[Paul Myers]

Going to reply to my own thread. I ended up taking a hike this afternoon and got this shot, so it's my only B&W for the week.

[paula365]

[Leonie Mogridge]

I don't do b&w very often but love the perseverance required to get this great shot from Jason.

@jase_h

[Jase]

@onie :) Much appreciated

[beachradish]

Taken by @rootbeer ... Thought the POV and simplicity of this were pretty cool and made for a unique shot.

[Sadie]

I took this at an abandoned house where the house is no longer there. lol

[Kathy A]

I think I've only taken three b&w photos in the three years I've been here but here's this weeks.

Smoky Handstand:

[Traci McLaughlin]

I don't normally do B&W but my get pushed challenge this week was for B&W, so my last 3 pictures are just that. Even though i love that I've finally managed to do macro of snowflakes I just love this shot of my nephew which was my first B&W.

[paula365]

wow, what a great bunch of B&W images in this thread!!

[Paul Jones]

[Keith Richards]

[Nicole Campbell]

[Nancy]

Didn't get out much, this is my only B&W I shot this week so I guess that makes it my favorite!

[Cindy Hagan]

This one - it was so foggy that it came out naturally b&w. I loved it!

[Cindy Hagan]

@cimes1 - Carole - You are such a sweetheart! Thank you!
