Sunday Stills: Black and White with a Twist

This weeks Sunday Stills Challenge was to photograph two previous subjects, but this time in black and white. I chose Architecture and Pets. I converted my color photos to black and white in my photo editing program. I don't work very much with black and white..so it was a good challenge for me. This is my same old grain bin, this time shot from a different angle, in different weather! The last time I photographed this grain bin for a challenge it had ice dripping from the roof on the other side. The vegetation is Lonicera x brownii or Honeysuckle Trumpet Vine leftovers from last summer. I might have to prune it back a bit this year.

This is Chance, he always looks good in black and white..cause that is his natural color! Happy Mothers Day to all the Mom's out there..not a Mom..have a great girlie day then! :)

  3. Very nice! I have a Border Collie that could be Chance's twin. I had such a busy week I didn't even think to use him for this challenge.
