It's Friday! There was no prompt last week because I sort of went into lurk mode - it's a bad habit that I need to work on.
This week's prompt is black and white.
Whether it's a two-tone cat or something quite mundane made dramatic with filters, I want to see how the lack of colour can be a focus of your shot.
Usual rules apply: No NSFW and no shots you didn't take yourself.
This is part of a series I took during the very first lockdown, on the banana plantation we were staying on in Carnarvon, WA.

I figured continuing with the car theme would be the best way to compete. :)
This is a Morris Minor clad in corrugated iron, made by Kiwi sculptor Jeff Thomson, displayed at the Whanganui i-site.

Okay, here's mine. I messed with a few different sliders and ended up with a grainier look than the original but I really like it.

I found this really hard. I took a bunch of pictures that I thought had high contrast; trees, flowers, bushes, bark patterns. But when I converted them to black and white none of them really popped.
Here's my favourite from what I got, but still not that happy with it.

Which method of converting to black and white did you use? It feels to me like that one is more grayscale. You might also just tweak the black point and sharpness to see if that helps? Here is one I took of Wrights Hill fortress awhile back, I basically did that to it.
2 0 ReplyI had the image open in Digikam and used the editor to convert it. There were a few options but I just tried them out.

I gotta admit, I don't know the difference. Is this one greyscale and the others posted black and white?
