Default Mono Goodness

I love black and white photos.

Often when out shooting, I'll come across things that I know will only work as a black and white photo. Maybe this is wierd (hopefully I am not the only one that thinks this way) but I think it's just part of the way people say photographers view things a little differently, always looking at things as photo opportunities.

I wanted to share some of my mono work....

Sydney Shopping

washed up

who goes there?

Thanks again for looking.

I think you are right. Sometimes you look at things and can almost see it in b/w before you even shoot it. These are great. Perfect b/w shots.
Thanks for sharing
