Share Your Top 3 Monochrome Shots - Inspire Me!

[Ginger Pixie]

I'm going to make a conscious effort to take more black and white photographs from now on and I'd like some inspiration. So please share your best 3 shots here!

Here are mine so far...

All very nice work. Your first shot is outstanding.

I love the middle shot, the timing on it is awesome!

Here are my 3 faves from my own limited work with monochrome:

Thank you. I love the concept of your third shot. Did you use a snoot?

HI Ginger ---- super idea for a hot Sunday afternoon .. I enjoy your 3monochome photos -- here's my contribution -

I agree with Hayward: great idea, Ginger. Your first photo is amazing - great DOF and conversion.

Here a 3 of mine.







(This last one isn't mine. I just did some post work to it as part of the "What Would You Do?" series here on DPS.)

I love black and white but neglect to use it as much as I should, but here's my favourite 3 so far...







Please bear in mind my photography age, how long I've been shooting, is only 14 months so far and all of these are at least 8 months old.

Here are my best three so far, took them with a Kodak Z740 set to Sepia.

I certainly did. I have a small army of snoots that I made from flexible craft foam, they are easily the coolest and cheapest lighting mods I have.
