Continuing my journey into the world without color, all of these images are digital B&W conversions except for one. Can you guess which one?

From the first two rolls of Kodak Tri-X 400 that I have burned through my new to me Nikon F5 50th Anniversary SLR. This camera is a tank, and paired with my Lensbaby Velvet 28 is like magic to me. First 3 are from 4th St near UofA and last two are in my backyard.

These are some digital images that I revisited with the B&W mindset. The first is an older image created with my D100.

Queen Valley
The lighting was super harsh, but the backlit saguaros really drew me into this scene.
I created this image from one of the office buildings I was working in that overlooked the Chicago River while working in downtown Chicago the winter of 2005 with my old D100. Subtle adjustments in ACR.
All comments welcomed.
Came across these images from the late 90's that I created using Fuji Chrome Velvia 100 with my old Minolta X-700, and decided to scan them and do some basic processing in Camera RAW and Topaz to clean up some of the noise. I was pleased with the results even though they're not as crisp as some...
My journey into B&W film, has motivated me to buy a film scanner to scan some newly exposed B&W film along with scanning older color images. I wanted to see what the modern tool set could do with these scanned images. What I have found out is some my colors slide convert nicely to B&W.

Created this image when Ben and I were leaving Skyline, with my D300 full spectrum conversion using a 590nm external filter. Originally opted for B&W but thought I would revisit using DXO in combo with some PS processing. All critique welcomed.
Created these images last summer at a local bike here in Tucson with a new to me Nikkor Micro 105mm pair with my D750.

Ben and I, in our brief time together share our stories of racing dirt bikes back in the 1970's. This image reminds me of Ben.

Thank you Ben.
Apparently I am returning to my roots now and found this on Ebay and bought it.
I wanted an F5 when they came out in 1996 but I was poor then and couldn't afford one. Now I can and went for the 50th Anniversary Edition that is claimed to be Mint, in the box. Hoping for the best possible...
I created these images back in 2021 when we were still living in Santa Fe NM. The color images are very nice, but to continue this journey that I am on, decide to convert, let me know what you guys think.

The developing of my old B&W 35mm film has really inspired me to delve more into the world without color. To the point that I am in the market for a Nikon F5 for B&W only. Until then I decided to revisit some older digital images using the modern tool we have available.

Created these images in the Pinaleño Mountains AZ on top of Mount Graham last summer. It is part of the Sky Islands here in southern AZ that rises up to over 10,000ft above the desert below.
These are some of the gems I created sometime between 1994-1995 at Roosevelt Lake AZ in my brother in-laws boat whom we lost in Dec of 2021 right after we moved to Tucson. They're of my wife's youngest sister and my father in-law whom we lost last year.
I love the natural grain from the film in...
