White on White-
I saw an interesting challenge to photograph something white on white, and to get the highlights as close to perfect white as possible without blowing the highlights. Lit from above with daylight LED. If I've measured right I'm at just under the mark in the highlights.

I had to look twice to see what is up and what isn't. Well done.

Interesting, I could see the whole egg on my phone, but not on my "photographic" monitor. So, I calibrated my monitor a little bit using your egg!

Nicely shot.

Boathouse on the other side of the cove. I thought since the boathouse is grey and there was nice contrast between the sun and the shadows this might make a good black and white image.

I'm going to have to vote for the color on this one. The blue color "pops" the subject more than the grey tones IMO

Lol! Were you able to see the 3 shadows around the bottom?

I can see that. The more I look at that B&W image the more I .... yawn. This really has been a challenge and I have been very impressed with the creativity others have shown.

I think one aspect of B&W is that it evokes a sense of timelessness. With that in mind I headed over to an abandoned country store nearby. I am not satisfied with it (I think it is too crisp, too digital) but this is what I got:

And here it is in color.

I love old buildings! Couple things that might help in the future is move around when framing the shot. Cutting off the building on the left and the other building in the back is distracting. If I can't frame the whole building then I look for an interesting feature. Also time of day can drastically affect the image. Late evening or early morning light really makes an outside shot.

Excellent advice. Thanks. It is not going anywhere so I think next time I am down here I will take it to heart and re-shoot this old store.

I can't remember the last time I converted a color image to B & W. I intentionally shoot it. I could have went color film with these but I have been trying out a new film (Ultrafine Xtreme 400), which I have decided not to re-order it. I just like the look of TriX and my methods for developing it. It did get me experimenting with developing again but I like to know what I'm going to get. Nikon F, 80-200 f4 Ais. Shot on 9-1-18

I like these. I love in shot #1 it looks like the tires are kicking up film grain.
