Favorite Black and white shot?

November 13th, 2010
I love black and white shots:)

im interested to see what everyone's favorite black and white shot they've taken is:)

heres mine:)

November 13th, 2010
oooh nice contrast @hilafriman I like it. I'd say this one is probably my fave I've ever taken in bw (it's actually picnik infared...does that count?)

November 13th, 2010
@amyhughes i like that one! :)
November 13th, 2010
Woah, in six months, not one black & white photo. Dang.

This is as close as it gets and it's more sepia than anything

November 13th, 2010
@indiannie_jones
I think it still counts:) i love roses:D
November 13th, 2010
Good post! I absolutely love it too. I have a few I really like:



November 13th, 2010
@vikdaddy wow those are amazing! :D
November 13th, 2010
November 13th, 2010
I love B&W shots and have quite a lot, here's a few rather than one if that's ok!?!


November 13th, 2010
@rich57 those are all great:D
November 13th, 2010
@hilafriman thanks, really like your's and the others too!
November 13th, 2010
This one, I put it in my other (not 365) album, but I think it is my favourite shot so far.

November 13th, 2010
I can't pick just one, so here are three I really love of mine!





November 13th, 2010
I love black and white! And I have a few favorites, I'll try to limit myself.

I have a black and white series going and I love them all! But here is one of them.
November 13th, 2010
I have a couple:


Not sure if this quite counts with the selective color, but it's a favorite anyway:
November 13th, 2010

November 13th, 2010
People,for some reason,seem to like this one:
November 14th, 2010
It's an old one, taken 25 years ago, then scanned into the computer.
November 14th, 2010
I don't do as much B&W as I'd like... this is prob my best effort so far..

November 14th, 2010
I love color photos because of their vivacity, but there's something so dramatic about B&W...so I love that, too! : )
November 14th, 2010
I have very few in my project but the few I do have, I LOVE so much I'm not sure I could pick just one. So I'm posting a couple. :)




Although now really looking through these 3, I think maybe the last one is my fav. :)
November 14th, 2010
Love these b&w's everyone! I am in love with black and white, and have been for years. My (not strictly kept) theme for my 365 is b&w, so I tend to, more often than not, shoot with this in mind.

It is difficult for me to pick one favourite, and since it has been for others also I'll post my top 4 from 365:

This is my favourite client photo:


My favourite non-portrait:


And these two, just because they are my favourite girl (my daughter):

November 14th, 2010
@vikdaddy :D Fantastic - that second one is an absolute fave of mine!
November 14th, 2010
@jennarichards Stunning! I love the 2nd one the most :)
November 14th, 2010
@jinximages Amazing shots. :) The one I love the most is the one of your little girl smiling at the camera :D
November 14th, 2010
Amazing stuff here!!! Here are mine.







November 14th, 2010
@rich57 Love those! Great work!

November 14th, 2010

November 14th, 2010
I like this one of mine; but all of these posted are awesome!

I am addicted to color so it is a rare thing that I use B&W but here is my favorite one: Identity Crisis

November 14th, 2010
I'm in love with black and white.....so many less distractions. Here are a couple of my favorites from this year.

November 14th, 2010
Still learning how to do b&w conversion
November 14th, 2010
Oh, I love b/w--great thread! It was really hard to choose, but I've always been rather partial to this guy:

@andycoleborn Love this shot
November 14th, 2010
I took a bunch of black and white shots last night, this is one of them:

November 14th, 2010
I think this one...
November 14th, 2010
i just realized i don't do a lot of b&w :) here are a few that i have done:


and perhaps my all time favorite.... ;)
November 14th, 2010
all of these are so good:D
November 14th, 2010
I don't have that many, just about 4 photos so far in 365. I'm drawn to colorful subjects, that probably explains why. Here's mine, I like the simplicity of it.

November 14th, 2010
here's a recent fave of mine :)
November 14th, 2010
November 14th, 2010
i lova the black and whites! :)





November 14th, 2010
November 14th, 2010
I added a touch of selective coloring, but just realized this is the only b&w I've posted so far.

I LOVE using black and white so I try not to do it too often haha

This is by far my favorite picture. I was in Italy when this picture was taken. My best girls friends and I happened to find a group of Italian boys, just our age. I am convinced that Luca (the boy in the picture) and i will meet up again later in life.


November 15th, 2010
I haven't done a whole lot of black and white shots yet! but this was a fav!
November 15th, 2010
I just was so pleased how this one turned out of my youngest son



This one holds a very special meaning to me



And this one has a little selective colour but I did notice a couple before me

November 15th, 2010
November 15th, 2010
I love shooting in B&W!! There are a couple of mine that I am particularly pleased with.





November 15th, 2010
There are some amazing shots shared on this thread! I have discovered some amazing photographers to start following. =)
November 15th, 2010
I think for me it's this one, and more for the reason behind it, rather than the photo itself...

November 15th, 2010
@rebcastillo77 , This is still a fav of mine, and an inspiration to do one like it soon,, if it ever stops bloody raining that is.....
November 15th, 2010
Nice work everyone, the above photos are incredible. I have a few black and whites that I really like, but with my latest one I was very pleased.
November 15th, 2010
@jo365 I just love that one and that little child is so adorable. Beautiful Jo.

These are all soooo great. I have trouble figuring out what makes a photo better in black and white. When I make some of mine black and white I just can't decide which I like better. I understand it's a subjective thing but are there any generally accepted criteria or guidelines (for lack of better words) or thoughts? Perhaps it's just that I'm indecisive but I assume most photographers would have an opinion of which looks better. Would most pick the same one?
November 15th, 2010
I've only used a couple for my project, so it's easy for me. I do love b&w and need to use it more.
November 15th, 2010
November 15th, 2010
Happy with this:

November 15th, 2010
I need to do more with b&w photos. I haven't done many but I do like them. Note to self: Get at least one in each month. Does sepia count as b&w? Hmmm ....?



November 15th, 2010
An oldie, but goodie.

November 15th, 2010
I love this thread! Great idea, Hila! I've discovered some amazing photos in here!

Here are some of mine:








November 15th, 2010
Blak and White shots are classic shots......and timeless...........

Havn't taken many yet, but this is mine
November 16th, 2010
Here's my favorite black and white so far:
November 16th, 2010
I can't pick one ... so here's two :)

Two cousins meeting for the first time (and only 3 weeks apart in age would you believe)



My little pensive man



November 16th, 2010
My only black and white shot, lol:

November 16th, 2010
This is mine, my grandmother...

November 16th, 2010
November 16th, 2010
I can't pick just one!!!





November 16th, 2010
All of these are great B&W photos. :)
November 16th, 2010
Love this thread, this was my most recent b&w and a fav for sure
November 16th, 2010
Just done another b&w I like:

November 17th, 2010
Funy that I was playing with black and white conversions right when I saw this. :) Here is mt latest favorite.
November 17th, 2010
November 17th, 2010

November 17th, 2010

November 17th, 2010


this one is my fav....took a bunch of pics with my lil Emma playing on the floor and just got lucky with this one:) she is a riot!
November 17th, 2010
Beautiful pictures everyone! I love black & white photos, but don't seem to have very many of my own. Here's one of my favorites (both B&W and color). : )

November 17th, 2010
@vposey I absolutely love that shot. it tells such a story
November 17th, 2010
Probably this one:

It's from the spooky theme a few weeks back. :)

@slava that last one you posted is so cool!
November 17th, 2010
I like how this one turned out - didn't mean to have it in B&W, but then thought that the contrast worked better that way:


November 17th, 2010


November 17th, 2010
November 17th, 2010
I know I'm getting greedy on this thread but i've just done one of my most fave b&w shoots:

November 18th, 2010
Here is mine:
November 18th, 2010
I am not sure personally I like the first one







November 18th, 2010
Cant split these two..



November 18th, 2010
@sarethephotos. WOW. beautifullll portrait.

Anyway, I wish I took more b&w photos. Does this count?
November 18th, 2010

this isn't quite b+w, just desaturated, but i like it better than the others i've done:

November 18th, 2010
Kind of black and white - but I doctored it up with some sepia if I remember correctly...
