Meppstas 4,891 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 As much as I like photos full of colour I also have a liking for black & white photos as there's just something to like about them.. maybe it's because they bring back some good memories of days gone by when all photos were in black and white and even sepia... Today's cameras bring out the best in black and white too... Any way here's a few to start with and I'll add to the list every so often.. The bottom ones are of me when I was a little fella.. boy that was quite some time ago.. cheers Adrian doobie, Squid Inc., wilda and 6 others 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BarneyB 1,939 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Reminds me of my Kodak Brownie days, don't remember my pics coming out that well though. doobie, lofty64 and Meppstas 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doobie 5,800 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 The black & Whites certainly do take on another dimension of a photo. I particularly like the 3rd (bridge) and 8th (mountain). And that's a fairly big fat football your holding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That big old football came over from Victoria, it was one of many I got as a kid from my uncle who was then the secretary of the Footscray Football Club back then.. cheers Adrian doobie 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doobie 5,800 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 The old Footscray Footy Club and maybe he was still involved for their first Premiership - but typical Victorians, always had to have bigger footies But great memories all the same.

Underpants 1,543 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Totally agree. Sometimes B&W is s**ts all over colour. Like my late labrador . lofty64, Squid Inc., SaltyFlyer and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Underpants 1,543 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Great photo UP.. I cant claim that one. Professional photographer who used to live up the road from us. My oak tree tho...if that counts. He was a beautiful ol' dog....still brings a tear that photo. Meppstas and BarneyB 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SaltyFlyer 298 Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Adrian, even your B/W photographic skills are amazing ..... Some of these pictures surely show clarity and depth better than a colour one would ! I think as Doobie said, that Snow covered Mountain, with the foreground fence in the water looks fantastic !! Time you put together a Coffee Table Book ... SF Meppstas and lofty64 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meppstas 4,891 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Colour or B&W with the trout ??? I like both but feel the B &W does have something special about it myself.. cheers Adrian Squid Inc., Alexsfishin1, BarneyB and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
