A VERY windy day and a little bit of dry weather before the hail and rain started again.

These trees are at the halfway point of a four mile beach hike down a local "point".

Well, it looked clean to MY eyes anyway, before I took the shot. :D

Sometimes photos are like a puzzle. I bet I tried at least half a dozen crops of this one. Still not sure this is "the one".

For some reason I find tinkering with B&W in post to be almost meditative. Some thistles I originally shot in color for bokeh. K1ii + 150-450

Love my new gear head even though I don't have the tripod for it yet!

It looks like milk! Nice shot.

The child photo at the end is powerful. That could be natgeo stuff, right there.

I've never had the pleasure of being compelled to say this before, but that shot was made for scrolling down! :) That dark region in the skies just kept my eyes pinned, until the the rest of the image was present. Nice work. Made me think "infrared", at first.

Love the DOF on this one! Should almost be x-posted in the bokeh thread! :)

K3ii + 18-135WR, OCF. X-posted in 18-135 thread and (non-cropped version) in Low Key thread.
"Circles" was the theme for the month at my local photo group. I took this one the night of the showing. I guess I should have dusted first!!!

Thanks!
It was fairly sunny but also very hazy due to sea fog and steam coming up off of the sand. The original photo(s) were quite flat looking and after tinkering with some haze removal decided to just see what some rather extreme post might do to it. I think I like it :)

A rather boring shot I took last weekend, heavy post in Darktable to push the exposure to the extremes (xposted with low key thread):

Wow! Nice shot... and a nice car! And you could almost call this one a "selfie" ;)

Experiments with a single OCF, in a room with tons of ambient light (middle of a sunny afternoon), "Low Key" technique. K3ii + 18-135 WR:

This one was an experiment using just natural light, no flash. B&W compliments of Nik SilverFX:

This one was the most challenging! Tons of sunshine into my dining room, a black oil lamp, lit, on the dining room table. One OCF on a tripod.

Nice shot! This one held my attention for an usually long amount of time. Where was this?

Thanks! It's just my first attempt but I can imagine the sort of results that might be possible with more experience and better technique!
I want to be able to pull this off:

Yes, it's nice having an app dedicated to B&W. Whether it's just a quick "one button click" or delve into the precision tools, it certainly seems very capable. The only reason I haven't really used it much is because I'm slowly trying to master Darktable... what a swiss army knife that tool is!
