>>>Saturday B&W Thread - 12/29/2012>>>

Hello Everyone -

It's time again for your monochromes of the week. You may post as little or as many images you wish to share.

The image(s) can be from any camera, you can say what it is if you like. You can also say whether it was an in camera B&W and the mode or what PP software you use if you like.

Reply to this first post and change your subject line to reflect your subject. Please switch to "threaded view" instead of "flat view". I try and respond to all posts, but if your post is not threaded properly I may miss it.

You may include the colour originals if you like for comparison. 
It would be nice to hear why you chose B&W instead of colour.

Please be nice and comment on any photos you like. If possible, let's leave a full day for posting of the images and then we can follow up with comments. This should allow more people an opportunityto post an image.

Thanks in advance to all who participate and for making this something to look forward to each week.

The door to Dixie Lock and Key in downtown Greensboro, NC.  Shot with the LX7 this morning.  PP done with Silkypix Pro 5.  As soon as I saw the tonal range I knew it was going to be a B&W.

Another one from this morning-

Two scenes around Paris last October.

Took this yesterday with the LX3. Since then quite a bit more snow has fallen--and continues to fall.

Interesting shot. Nice combination of textures. You're right. B&W was best choice for impact.

I'm thinking that was a 1975 Firebird. I ordered one and didn't like it when it came in. My bad. Fortunately, a colleague in my office did like it and bought from the dealer.

Amazing, Lee, how B&W makes winter seem so much colder. Nice shots. Keep warm

Guess things won't end well if you go straight! Thanks for sharing, Erik.

Another nice one, Dez. I am drawn to appreciate B&W more after looking at everyone's submission so far. I'll have to do some myself and see if I like the results. Great thread.

There's something very sad about the train. Great title for the post!

Indeed, tonal range and good textures - come through nicely in B&W.
