Nice B&Ws. The boat shot is really cool and the pillar / stone work is giving me ideas.
There's a great Carnegie Museum and Library building in Oakland, (Pittsburgh PA) just a few miles from here.
The old car in the field is really nice.

Cool thread!  I really like the black and white ones, especially the boat. 

I recently got a digital SLR, and have been taking some nature shots.  I think my husband might have taken the elk one, but I am not sure... we went camping and spent the whole time passing the camera back and forth.

Hannaugh, those are wonderful. I'm liking black & white a lot myself lately. Here are a few more b&W conversions from the original color:

@mrpinter... Your black and white pics are amazing  :icon_thumright:

Here is one, Warmoth related, that I think look a bit like a planet in space. I call it planet lacewood

Thank you for the very kind words, MortenB. Your picture is a nice effect. And it reminds me, I've forgotten about guitar pictures so far in this thread. Here are a few misc. closeups of some of my guitars and other music gear:

Aw man, you have a Tube Rotosphere?  Those are rad!  Nice pics too!  :icon_thumright:

 

[mrpinter]

Yeah it's a great effect - very close to a real leslie. I just wish it wasn't as big and didn't need it's own power supply.

 

[hannaugh]

Yeah, I've heard changing the tubes if one breaks is horrible too.  But it definitely sounds cool.

How about vintage watches? These are from a couple of major collections, which I was commissioned to photograph for a book. I added the backgrounds later:

Some very cool watch pics you have there mrpinter!
I am really diggin' that Gruen Precision with the black band; picture 9.
You don't happen to have the name of that model documented do you?
:kewlpics: :rock-on:

 

[mrpinter]

Thank you BD. That is a nice old Gruen. I don't think Gruens had names like Hamilton or Elgin. I don't know anything about that one except that I'd guess it was manufactured in the 1930s. The background in that composition is my room at the Hotel Sacher in Vienna - from when I was there over 15 years ago.

Patek makes some nice high end watches, makes Rolex look like Seiko's as far are $$$$$..

Oh, you mean like this one...
In this price range, I would at least expect the watch to be water resistant.  Nope, must be an upcharge  :dontknow:

LOL, "our price" is $300,000 more than retail.... :doh:
