Default Out West, A Couple Random B/W's

Shots of this weekends outing, the first is a shot of some unfinished business, I kind of like it because of it's framed and everything is on the third. The second shot is of a make shift gate to someones garden. This is how they do it out west!

They remind me of the movie Wild Wild West. Thanks for sharing this Duane. I wish I could be there and see this for myself. But thanks to pics: they take me to places I 've never been.

Morning Duane. Great. I love the gate cos it's unique. Bit like a work of art insomuch as it's the only one like it in the world, and cannot be bought in a a store. I am beginning to fall for B&W after seeing your various works and am now trying to get shots that lend themselves to it. You know, with heavy contrasts. Love these my friend. PAUL

Hey Jim, I guess you can call it bug-bitten. You know some shots just cry out for b/w treatment and I felt these did. Thanks

Great captures Duane. I love the B&W here too, and I agree, the way you've framed the first is fabulous! Very creative.
