Exhibit your B&W shots

[KevinBarrett]

It's a somewhat guarded smile you captured, Sury, but she is very radiant!

@Kevin: is the scooter a popular method of transportation where you live? Here it's especially popular with teenagers and people who work in very crowded areas (like I do).

It is not an especially popular means of transportation up here. Walking is far more popular, and the scooter owners seem to have them more as an accessory or a super-occasional utility. I rarely see one in use, and they only appear parked in areas where the apartments are too small for families, and too near the clubs, so I assume they belong to young singles.

She is more reluctant and camera shy than my daughter. It was a rare moment that she is relaxed
and more over this is right after she worked in the backyard. So no make up, no dress up and such.
It was in some sense a "candid" shot, if you will.

... and linked in the wrong thread (see the Portrait shots)
Nice shot, btw.

Kevin, keep your B&W shots flawing here, I know you have lots of them.

At first I didn't know what you were talking about, and then I searched my own photos for black and whites and, sure enough, they're there:

Awesome, Kevin. But please grab the bigger BBCode link.

I echo Doc's sentiment. Awesome Kevin.

I have this strange drive since last week to enjoy art of the abstract, minimalist or cubist movements. Somehow it's kind of soothing and relaxing for me. This does reflect in my photography. Did some abstracts of bark today. I can imagine this is not everyones cup of tea, but it's mine at the moment.

Both shot with the a580, Tamron 90mm macro, handheld. Both are at ISO3200. As you can see, the a580 handles that very nicely (with some PP help of course ).

Hey! I thought you said you've been married for 25 years! Is this one of those arranged Indian marriages where you're married when you're 3?

She has no worries about lookin' good for the camera!

Dusty

[sury]

Yes and no. Yes it is an arranged marriage and no we were not 3 but I was 30.
But I will let her know your sentiments.

With best regards,
Sury

Nice B/W shots by all. Great shot of the Shard in London caporip. That sherpard seems completely unfazed by your presence Doc.. You really have him in his element.
Here is one from Ian and my trip to Seattle.

[Dr. Harout]

John, so that's how Kevin greeted you there... hmm

[Juanito200]

Heh heh heh... "Come to Seattle!" he said... "I know a great place to stay!" he said.... Hmmmph! Actually it was a very fun trip... Though he did pull a bait and switch with the weather...

I actually greeted him there by wandering down the hill in the rain to find him and Ian seeking shelter from the rain in Pike Place Market.
