This post is linked to Cee’s Black & White Challenge – Water: from a drop to an ocean.
I often take photos that include water so I’d decided to try my hand at Cee’s Black & White Challenge this week. Black and White photography is something of a new learning curve for me so it seemed amazingly fortuitous when, just yesterday, I saw Cee had published her new Tips and Tricks on Black and White photography. Thanks Cee 😀

The bottom shot is almost abstract. Both are very nice.
Thanks for your comment! I am still very much a learner in b/w photography 🙂
Lovely pictures, especially the first one with the mist in the trees. It has an eerie look to it but also tells me that Autumn is with us.
Thanks Hugh 🙂 The mist image was originally shot in Spring … though we have experienced very similar conditions in September too. You are right, Autumn is definitely here now.
Your first shot of fog is marvelous. 🙂
😀 … that was the one I processed AFTER I’d read your post-processing post! … so thank you for sharing your black and white wizardry tips 🙂
Wonderful to see the textures in these black and white pictures! I have not tried with black and white so far… But, the picture of flowing water is so fascinating that I want to try black and white photography.
TC! Keep smiling 🙂 Happy blogging!
I am pleased you enjoyed by black and white water, Sindhu … I am very much still learning about this kind of photography. It is interesting to see how images need to be changed with plenty of different depths of tone before they will look effective in black and white. 🙂
Your words make me realize how passionate you are about photography 🙂 It is a useful tip for the beginners like me too! TC dear!
I think starting my blog this year has been an inspiration to try and improve my very limited photography skills 😀
Yes, I was learning that tip from Cee at Cee’s Photography just yesterday – very helpful 🙂
