Thursday’s Task

[Jeffrey]

Doug, you apparently know more than you think! Fine imaging......

 

[Jordan Marsh]

I know slightly more than nothing about creating good B&W photographs. Any I have are conversions from color images. Here are three of my attempts.

They look darn good to me Doug

[John Holbrook]

It sure looks like you know black and white editing Doug––love these three images! Mesquite Flat Dunes and Monument Valley are my favorites and thank you for sharing these beautiful B&W images!

 

[Ken Rennie]

I love B&W and create monochrome images regularly. For one of my gallery shows I set up one half of the room all BW. I should do a full BW show sometime...
A few favs.

Wonderful black and white images Jeffrey. The luminosity and contrasts in your images is about to make me rethink my processing. Ken

Thank you kindly Ken. I feel that way often about other people's work I see! It's a good thing.

Jeffrey, I use the "sharp intake of breath" method of judging images. Yours do that. Of course after one has processed and looked at ones own images for a while this criterium fails as it is almost impossible to look at a well known image and get that "Oh!" feeling. Ken

 

[Douglas Sherman]

Terrific contrast. Brilliant.

thank you so much for your kind comment.
