May i know the EXIF of #4? That's my fav in this bunch Smiley

I also like #5 because the tables form a straight line, leading the eye. Pity the last table is angled slightly different. It would have made better impact aligned or maybe it could be cropped away, i dunno =)

I love B&W images!

They leave so much to the imagination whilst looking at the picture.

I also think they just simply look cooler!

Nice images Terence!

Mind if I hijack your thread?



Anyway, I love B&W images too. They just tend to evoke a different feel to a scene.

Heres a hint, when there is insufficient light and you are forced to bump up the ISO to a point where there is too much noise, change to black and white. The grain has an artistic feel to it. The picture above serves as an illustration.

It also helps if you increase exposure time (Decrease shutter speed).

i love shooting B&W in 800iso.  low iso is too clean for B&W and it loses the Kodak press film look.  lovely film grain in B&W is much better than color noise.  here's some from my Bali trip.

I have to suggest though, that if you have perfectly good conditions, i.. you don't have to crank the ISO because there is sufficient light, and still want to get grainy pictures, do it in PP. That way you can tinker with the original, adding other effects to it, not just the grain effect.


p.s: maybe we should create threads that showcase the different techniques of photography. Maybe we can call this the b&w thread, then just post all the black and white pics?

Black & White Gallery

Here is the thread you can use to showcase your black&white pictures.

Let's help each other organizes this thread. If it gets too dirty I have no choice but too remove those messy stuffs.

Have fun with sharing.  Wink
