Alright all you monochrome shooters:

July is here and time to show your monochrome images for this month. Remember that all Sigma Cameras and lenses are welcome and an occasional image made with other cameras pulled from your archive Try to limit you post to 3 images and to give your post a title so that comments will be properly directed.

Lets shoot some monochrome images and have some old school fun. ;)

… Perhaps this would be a fair thread, as the month unfolds, for thoughts on the nature and qualities of B&W images versus colour.

… It seems obvious when someone has simply pulled down the saturation slider to produce a B&W image. It is not necessarily a B&W image, but simply a desaturated colour photo.

… It is equally obvious when someone has deliberately composed a B&W image.

There are many, many ways to convert from color to grayscale (see GIMP and RawTherapee) ... some not obvious at all.

I disagree, sorry Iain ... a little too cut-and-dried for me.

Enjoying these! Very clean and minimal. What film did you use?

HP5 developed in Aculux. They were shot around 1980, I think.

You might like the book "Basic Forms" by Bernd & Hilla Becher. Cool photos of industrial subjects such as water towers.

Thanks! Again, very pleasing photos. Makes me want to try more telephoto stuff with bw film.

Seems like an interesting book. Thanks for recommending.
