B&W Let's see your Black and White photos

[G.K.Jnr.]

Both taken from "The Empire State" building the last time I was in downtown NY. Dreadful dull misty weather conditions so I converted them to mono and decided to induce a bit of a grainy film effect in PS.

Really like the composition, @ynot, but thre are some very weird dark halos round some of the objects against the skyline!

I tried taking all clarity out of the sky, may have over done it a little. Ill revisit this one and make it right, hopefully.

A couple of good shots Heath, and well suited to mono. #1 would be my fav' with its great use of limited DOF.

I support your decision but the dynamic range was
neglected even for a low contrast rendition.

"Like" doesn't seem the right term for such a horribly macabre image, James @LumixNoob , well done for a right shocker!

 

[LumixNoob]

Thanks Chris. Er yeah...I nearly didn't post it. Imagine my surprise when I more or less tripped over it upon turning a corner!
