YOU CAPTURE - BLACK & WHITE



Above 2 taken during a little drama performance with a group in our village.



My first 'group shot' - really pleased with this!


One stunning teenager at our church - who dresses amazingly well :D


My son rockin' down with his Daddy (playing piano the other side of the room). I love the B&W PJ's with the B&W guitar (which actually are all B&W) - so the whole shot worked well for conversion, esp as it was about 11pm (!!) and I had to use a flash - notice the blown eye still :( .


Baby Beautiful. This not the best edit I have of this shot (the best one is not B&W), but it is still lovely.


Getting serious with a water pistol!! I wish I'd had this shot when I ♥ Faces had their 'about the boys' week!


These are all shots I have taken recently. This week I am working to a dead-line trying to get some photos edited for some friend's who are leaving, the picture of the baby is one of those edits :D. I love working with B&W: I love the contrasts, I love the fact that it can disguise seriously blown out red-eye (as in the shot of the little boy with the puppet), I love the dramatic feel that it gives - I just LOVE it!! :-)

Please feel free to comment at will - I love to know what you all think - good, bad, advise - it's all welcome :D

And when you are done commenting, head on over to You Capture and see all the other stunning B&W shots people have posted this week - some are truely stunning!!

I think your group shot of the girls is just great and works well as a b&w conversion. You got some great captures this week!

My absolute fav is the last shot of the boy with the water pistol - cool composition, processing and perspective!

I came over from my blog (k8tography.com) where you left a message on my I heart Faces (feet) picture saying that my son looks scarily like your eldest...is it this boy with the waterpistol? If so, I AGREE! 100%

Wow! They DO look alike! Amazing that you were thinking of calling him Zac! Great name! Long haired boys. I nearly got my guy to get his cut today but something else came up...lucky kid!
