Default Black, White, and Shades of Grey

A couple of shots from my 31 shot black and white project. They are pretty much related in no way other than they are all black and white, but that's ok with me!

These were all taken with my new Sigma 30mm 1.4 - fantastic, fantastic purchase. I'm absolutely loving the large aperture and the build quality. Sharpness levels are yet to be determined, however....

Black and White - Lizzy

Black and White - Setting Sun

Black and White - Waste Management

That last shot was off the side of a garbage can. You can find pictures everywhere you look, I suppose.

All thoughts/comments are welcome, hope everyone's having a great day

Nice set. I've enjoyed them all. The sky in the second one is spectacular and I love the texture in the garbage can. Did I see that right...a garbage can? I need to get way more creative. thanks for the lesson

I love the sky in your second shot, but all are good.
