Black and White Challenge Bonus Photo

As promised, here is a bonus photo for the black and white photo challenge.  I also shot this yesterday, also using the reverse lens macro, this time with a tripod for added juggling.  Any guesses on what is pictured here?

Day 5 of the Five Day Black and White Photo Challenge

I decided to shoot a photo within my home for the final day of the black and white photo challenge.  My husband is, among other things, a machinist, and the by product of machining is mounds of metal shards in all sorts or shapes and curls.  This photo is a reverse lens macro of a pile of metal shards.  Its unfortunate that something so beautiful can be such a nuisance in every day life. 

Day 4 of the Five Day Black and White Photo Challenge

Looks like I'm going with business days!  Here is a photo I took of my big guy Steve exploring the back yard.

Day 3 of the Five Day Black and White Challenge

I had some company while I was out taking yesterday's photograph.  Luckily he was sitting quite still, which allowed me to do a longer exposure and soften the water.

Black and White Photo Challenge Day 2

So, for day two of the challenge, I went out to shoot a photo.  I spotted this log while walking the dog  on Mount Doug Beach this weekend, and knew I wanted to come back with a camera and tripod.

Black and White Photo Challenge Day 1

I was invited to participate in a #fivedayblackandwhitechallenge by Chris Bone. This might actually be a bit of a challenge for me, as I don't tend towards black and white edits.  Maybe something good will come from trying it out though.  So here is my day one edit, a shot I took as we were walking across the Brooklyn Bridge on our trip to New York.
