Some images taken over the Anniversary Weekend that I felt lent themselves to a black & white treatment (there are a few more pics
here if you are interested). Click an image for a larger version.

Hi Peter,
I'm a big fan of B&W at the moment as you know and #3 is pretty cool. The treatment is great. Nice and punchy. I like that one a lot.
Not too keen on 1 and 2 i'm afraid. The B&W is good but the sunject doesn't hold my attention.

i stared at the first for about a minute before i realized it is a lamp, Nice. The second appears Flat? not sure how else to describe it otherwise, but I do really like the third as well. After hours I'm assuming since no people, very interesting.

Thanks for the comments guys. #3 is by far the one I like the most. In fact I'm still tinkering with the B & W treatment.
Matt I used the nik color efex B & W filters for these (there are three tunable types of B & W filters) - they are something I suggest you have a look at.
Andy the third shot was taken while lots of people were around (at 11:00 am). It's at the finger Wharf at Wooloomooloo (Sydney) and was shot through glass security doors. The area is in two halves. One for the peasants and one for the rich people. This is looking from the peasant area into the rich area (if you look close you can see the reflections on the glass door). The rich area is apartments and there is a security coded area for access. The peasant area is hotel & function area and access is unrestricted.
birddog - you're right the B & W CF card is dead easy to use - it's really improved my shots over use of the standard colour ones.

I love the first shot. I really like reflections. I'm really starting to like b&w pics.

Thanks Monty. There's a lot you can do with B & W and a lot of ways to do it. You should play around with it a while.
