Round Robin Challege: Black and White Landscape
I decided to participate in a photo challenge. My first time and I am was nervous. In fact, I signed up, then reneged, then signed up again. Part of my hesitancy is because the challenge was to do a black and white landscape and 1.) I don’t do many landscapes and 2.) I’m not that fond of black and white.
But here are my attempts at meeting the challenge and I think it is something I will try again. It looks like Round Robin hosts these challenges twice a month or so, go visit them to sign for the next one or see other people participating in this one.
The first three I shot in black and white mode, with my Rebel XTi out the window of our room at the Hilton in Bloomington, MN yesterday morning. The last one I took with my old Sony H5 last July in Green Lake, Wisconsin and just edited to black and white. I still like the color version better.

For not liking BW and for not shooting a lot of landscapes, you sure did a
nice job. Brrrr. We woke up with 6 degrees this morning, but looking at
your pictures make me feel like it's 5 degrees. Great pictures!!!
I especially like the 3rd one - Great Job, they look wonderful.
Great photos I really like the one of the sun peeking through the smoke.
I don't think you had any reason to be nervous - you are a wonderful
photographer! You did a darn nice job. Have confidence, Girlfriend!
Hi Gina :)
I am not fond of B&W myself, but #3 is just breathtaking. Great job!
Welcome to the Robins! Very nice landscapes. Three and four are fantastic.
Love the reflections in the water and the steam cloud with the sun is wild.
Perfect landscapes!
I, and welcome! You done good, kid. ; ) That third one is my fave!
I( think you did great. The black and white emphasizes the starkness of
the skyline with the building.
Great job on your first RR challenge. You have a lovely collection of
photos. My favorites are the last 2.
Welcome to RR challenges!!!
Welcome to the Robins! Excellent first RR effort! The first two are stark
and moody, the second two are dramatic and shot with light. Who knew that a
sunrise or sunset could work in monochrome? Now, aren't you glad you
didn't ultimately chicken out? ;)
I love the last photo, but also the ones showing the smoke coming out.
Hi there, and welcome! I love these, especially the third and fourth. Open
water takes on such a different feel in black and white, doesn't it? Nice
job!
I'm finally making my rounds from the Robins :) Your photos are wonderful!
Who would have thought that a sunset could look so stunning in black and
white?! Great job :)
