I've never liked B+W much, but I'm really starting to appreciate it. Thank you to the people on here for giving me these ideas.

Sydney?

Sydney mate. The weather was doing that sideways type of raining the whole day. Wasn't a lot of fun for photography to be honest. Great weather for stopping into a few places for some nice warm food though.

I think B&W has it's place. Old stuff including people and old building's. I do a bunch of old homesteads and barns and mostly in B&W. I guess it's sorta like matching the photo to the time frame of the subject.

Imagine being Davy Crockett looking for a new house and looking at a bunch of color photo's! Just doesn't work for me. of course my dog photo's are all color but also oldest dog photo I have was done with film about 1980 in Alaska. This one about 2022. In B&W the dog would look like a Gordon Setter.

I like the first image, a lot of interesting things, but not too busy.

I agree, I think B+W certainly has it's place. I just firmly believe that it hides average compositional skills, and it shows in people who do B+W almost exclusively. An image should look good in both colour and B+W in order for it to qualify as a great image I think.

Cheers mate. Thought I'd add a bit of human energy to my shots since there was nothing else giving off much joy on that day.

Nice selection of shots, especially the angle in No.3

Was a pretty cool moment that one. Some homeless people making the best of the rainy weather, they were quite nice actually and pleased with what I showed them on the back of the camera. It turned out well.
