New Monochrome Photos

[narmour]

I've been experimenting with black and white photos, comments are much appreciated. Please note that I am a complete novice to this (I have only had my camera for 3 weeks) so keep the criticism constructive!!

Hello there ... you'll get nothing but praises from the good folks here .. this is a very interesting set .. I like the water reflections on the first photo .. too funny on the second .. there is no way anyone can mistaken tree/trunk as a live one ... very nice

Hello Narmour and welcome to a great site for help and care. You have certainly hit the road running for a "complete novice". Your captures here portray a potential for making the ordinary look extraordinary, and the reflection shot is great. I hope you stay with us and allow us to watch you progress as you keep clicking and posting. God bless. PAUL

Thank you very much Howard, the first bridge is a stunning subject so is hard to take a bad photo... when I saw the bra hanging from the bridge I laughed out loud and instantly wondered how it got there and who is running around without it now... and the tree trunk was obviously marked by a forester and I just thought about how I could enhance the theme of death by removing the colour. It's probably my favourite.

Thanks again for the positive comments!!!

Thank you also Paul, I think I can see a style in which I want my photos to progress.. as you say making the ordinary look extraordinary. Although there is nothing ordinary about a bra hanging from a bridge!!! I certainly will post more shots as I do them although as I say criticism is most welcome as it's the only way you learn.
