B&W RESULT: Black and White Challenge #273…Ends April 9

[PerfectSurfOC]

I am going to the wrong bank…..

That whole bank is roped off and isn't accessible anymore. Bummer! You may recognize this bank as many movies have been filmed here. Bladerunner for one. Some cool history: Union Station Had a Cinematic History Way Before the Oscars

Nice, I never would have guessed it was a through-the-window shot.

Same. Gorgeous image RoseCat

Thank you! I’ve had a lot of practice to perfect the skill, sitting in traffic over the years.

That was interesting. I may look up Union Station as a rainy Sunday afternoon watch.

Attitude again. I have shown photos of this street art before, but I took this one yesterday with the new toy, using the .5 lens in portrait orientation.

iPhone 14 Pro Max + B&W in Photos and the Snapseed Push filter.

I am surprised how often I use that setting. Keep us up on how you are liking the 14.

My friends daughter enjoying the beach at Dana Point Harbor. She seemed transfixed by the ocean which tells a story in itself. I did this on the iPad in Affinity Photo.

Love it….it’s timeless.

Reborn. There was a time when I thought the iconic red phone box might just disappear, but almost everywhere they are being repurposed…and being photographed on an iPhone!

iPhone 14 Pro Max + Snapseed.

This challenge is now closed. It’s up to deepop David to select a winner and I do not envy you. Thank you everyone who posted these last two weeks!

BnW Challenge #274 is here!

Very difficult choices this week as there were a lot of wonderful photos this week. There were several I kept coming back to, and anyone of these could have, should have been the winner.
The top spot goes to Jacosta Jodi’s Splash with its ebullient tendrils of surf caught in exquisite stop motion cutting across a silhouetted background figure. Many thumbs up!

In second is chineezguy Michael’s Jeff lives in his minivan capturing Jeff’s well worn face evoking a variety of feelings. It brings to mind Walker Evans dust bowl portraits.

In third are two of sdimbour Sandra’s photos. I really like the floor’s eye view of cigarette holding hand - it has a louche and mysterious sensibility. And I love the hotel room with its contrasting arcs and straight lines, the glow behind the mirror, all set off against the amorphous negative space of the foreground.

Kudos to everyone for all the great submissions.

 

[Rohan]

Well done winners great set of images.
