Trust me, I am never really bored of what I do behind the camera, but sometimes I need a bit of a change.

I used to shoot a ton of B&W back in the day and until now, have not liked what I was able to achieve with B&W conversions until now.

If you all like it, I will include some here and there, if not, I wont waste my time:devil:

Make the ATV b/w also. My eye is drawn right to it. Otherwise it looks good.

Isn't the ATV riders logo on a different layer? You should be able to make that b/w without affecting anything else in the picture.

It's not doing much for me. That's what I like about your photos over other photogs - the fact that you seem to really make the colors pop on screen. Maybe it's just me, but I say leave the B&W for flowers and stuff:p

I gotta agree....One thing I like about photos of Quads, Race Cars, etc, etc, are the bright colors that look even better in pictures than they do in person.

I like it. I also am sometimes a fan of selective coloring with B&W....whether its one color, or the subject.

We used to roll our own film in school 20 some years ago. I've always liked b&w pictures. Snow and ice always turns up something interesting in b&w.

dude seriously... been noticing some of your posts for the last few weeks, you really need to lay off the smartass attitude.. just think about that before you post, do you really need to correct everyone when they're wrong?

anyway... I really love that first pic pappy, any chance you can upload one in wallpaper size? (1280x1024) ... 1024x728 is oldschool :D

I think some badass black/white hunting photos would be killer. I love looking back at photos from the early market hunting days on the Chesapeake and would love to have some b/w photos of me with a pile of ducks. I guess we'll have to shoot a pile of birds in late January with ice hanging off my winter beard, there are enough old boats laying around to do a nice early century shoot!
