**Titia** · 08-07-2022, 12:16 PM - **1 Like**

Welcome to contest #173. This month's theme is: Legs in B&W
I just love B&W photos and about the legs? Anything with what we refer to as legs might do the trick. I'm not giving you examples, use your own imagination and amaze me.

Rules:

1. Always have fun!

2. Cameras:

No cameras with sensors larger than 1"
No large format or camera typically requiring a tripod to use.
No interchangeable lens cameras (some exceptions below).
No (D)SLRs or any camera weighing over 1kg.

Cameras permitted:
Mobile phones, tablets, small sensor toy cameras.
Pentax Q, Nikon 1, Ricoh GR, any 110 film, 35mm point and shoots from the 1980s/90s (e.g. Pentax PC35AF etc.)
Cameras you can take with you in a coat pocket.

ANY CAMERA BRAND ALLOWED.

3. Entries will close August 31, 2022 midnight EDT.

4. Maximum image dimensions are 1024x768 (ish) pixels.

5. List camera brand and model with entry for all to see, and exposure data would be nice.

6. No restrictions on when the entries were taken.

7. Contest winner determines the rules, selects theme, sets closing date and judges the next competition.

8. Enter up to three images, however you may change your entries as many times as you like up to the contest closing date/time.

Thanks

Great entries so far, keep them comming. Think out of the box. The legs don't have to be human or being attached to a human.

Both shot with Pentax Q7 and Q 08 wide zoom.

"Kotatsu"
It's a low (~60cm or ~2ft) table with a built-in heater at my mother-in-law's house, used as a dining/tea table while we sit on zabuton (cushion). 4.2mm, f/3.7, ISO100 and 1/6 sec, hand-held. Used Silver Efex Pro 2 "Fine Art Process" for B&W conversion.

"Legs"
Many legs including my wife's at a bar/restaurant at Seattle airport. 3.8mm, f/3.7, ISO800 and 1/15 sec. This was processed in camera (custom image "Monochrome", digital filter "High Contrast") and cropped a little in Lightroom.

Cool silhouette, David!
Here's my 3rd one, sunflowers. Pentax Q7, Q 02 standard zoom at 5mm, f/4.0, ISO 200, 1/320s. Out of camera jpeg (custom image "Monochrome", digital filter "High Contrast").

So in between sheep inspections I see a lot of very nice entries coming in. Don't have time to comment on each one. Tomorrow evening I'm off again for four days up North, a 4 hour drive. Back on Monday. Then I'm off again on Friday Sept. 2 for a three day inspection trip to the South East. On the 7th and the 18th another two inspections and then the inspection season comes to an end. In between I have to enter all the results into the pedigree book. So I have only one day to pick a winner for this contest. LOL Who says life is dull when you're an elderly of 77? Not me!
