   Amazing collection. I don’t do a lot of B&W, but this certainly inspires me to give it more of a go.

   I love some of these photos! I’ve always thought that bw photos have something special. Without color, they focus on light alone.

    Wow! Stunning shots! I love B&W because it rlly makes you focus on the subject and composition. I’ve done a lot of darkroom work and here’s a picture I scanned in. The technique (all done in darkroom no photoshop whatsoever) was inspired by Jerry N. Uelsmann. Great photographer to look up if you haven;t heard of him..

    Hope you like mine!:

    Here are my B&W collection. That was my first try with friends with a Point n Shoot camera. Although, nowhere near the awesome quality of the image collections above, but this forms memories!

    Looking forward to learn a lot in B&W toning:

    Always a good thing to see so much inspiring photo’s

    Had a black&white workshop last week, it was about the dutch photography master Aart Klein (http://www.google.nl/images?hl=nl&source=imghp&q=aart+klein) which had an unique black&white style in his pictures.

    Here are my results:

    Awesome pix- Id sen quite a few before, esp. Phillip Klingers. Its too hard to pick just one fave- they appeal for different reasons- love the kids on the ice in the mist in front of the church, the 3 snails in a row, Giovanni Orlando one of the misty canal edge…oh yeah- and the man on bicycle in front of the cathedral. Mine are few and far between- try this one:
