What’s Your Preference?

I admit it. I am an addict, when it comes to B&W. I wanted to revisit some photos I had taken about three weeks ago of same fall foliage. I wondered what would happen when these were converted to B&W. It was raining like crazy that day, and the overcast skies did not help in terms of the exposure, so I had to play around a bit with these. The foliage ranged from yellow, to orange, to bright red on these trees etc. Well, here they are. I was pleasantly surprised with the results. Thanks for dropping in to check them out.

Plangereis,

I like the way you do composition pictures,

Very well balanced

I think pictures look well in B&N !!!

Hi Paul... these are amazing... I must admit I love B&W also. The 4th shot is by far my favorite! I can't stop staring at it...

Thanks for sharing!

Very nice! An hour ago I was walking through an exhibit of Ansel Adams landscapes, so of course this makes me think of that. I like 'em, especially the second!

It certainly is a fine addiction Paul. All of these are quite nice.

These are good in B&W Paul, I especially like the shot with the park bench. I find it has a nice, lonely feel to the scene.

I was pleasantly surprised with the results.

Quality pictures convert very well, and these are all good Paul. I particularly like the final one with the bench and the path inviting you deeper in the forest, I think that works very well
