B&W Black & White, monotone and sepia

[PeterB666]

I have always liked the old glass-plate photos from the late 1800s and early 1900s. I have tried to create that look here. The weather has been less than ideal for photography and the lighting as flat as a pancake so I had to try something different.

This scene is of Mimosa Rocks in southern New South Wales (Australia). Taken with an Olympus E-P3 and 12mm f/2 lens, I have used a HiTech 10-stopper to extend the exposure to 6 seconds and of course given it a black and white treatment. I think I have captured the feel of the old photos.

Black and white conversion

Two from my last trip home to Hawaii... and a ranch near Prescott, Az. It's been really enjoyable looking at the black and whites. I'm still having problems determining a favorite when I convert to black and white.... I like them all. Go figure
Cheers all, Pete

Random:

In Biarritz. I think the kid flapping her arms like a bird was more of a big deal than the actual picture of her.

Taken on my Panasonic G1 as we were leaving Port Douglas in Far North Queensland. It looks great in color too.
