From the day Leigh and I were out running errands. I set the point and shoot on its black and white setting for this shot. (Normally I convert later) I did like the framing and the light in the alley. The car passing through was a bonus.

I like the black and white. It gives it a little something more.

@photogypsy Thank you Tracy! The scene just seemed like it was meant to be black and white!

B/W suits this alley picture. looks like the guy is on his cell phone....where is his cup of coffee.

It is a superb composition and how easy can it be when it’s in Camera black-and-white?! I like the way it turned out

[Pyrrhula]

Great view on the shop and capture of the alley.

[Helen Jane]

Thanks so much everyone! I was happy to see this on the PP. I did love the light and framing on this one and was able to switch the camera over to black and white on the spot just for fun. There is debate as to whether or not one should shoot b/w directly or shoot in color and convert. Generally I shoot and convert because I think you get better contrast that way. But the Olympus b/w setting seems to be pretty good in that area so it's fun to do it directly every now and then.

Thanks again for all your views, comments and favs!
