Attempts at Black & White




Usually I feel like my black and whites turn out brown and white or gray and white. Here are a few recent attempts to get black and white.

Aud,
The bottom picture of O is my absolute favorite. If you cropped in the sides so that no dark "noise" was showing, this would be the most beautiful picture to hang on your wall! You really need to create a photo gallery somewhere in your house. So, of all the photographs you have posted on this blog since you got your new camera, my favorites are this one and the very first post of O with his head on the couch. Great work! (Can I come take a class?) ;)

I don't really like any of them that much now that I am looking at them again. I want sharper, black and whites and don't know how to do it. Good advice about further cropping these. What exactly is noise? Just shapes that have no reference point?

Oh, I don't think "noise" is really an official term, just distractions. I think if some of the darker edges were removed, you could focus more on Owen's face. I think the photos are really good. Do you take the pictures as B&Ws on your camera, or change them on your computer?
