Now Life To Me Is Black And White

Thanks to our first assignment in photography for the past few days as I've been walking through campus I've been looking at EVERYTHING though a "oh, that would be a cool black and white shot!" point of view. Kara told me she has been too which I find pretty funny in a we're so freakin weird kind of way. This is why she is my twin.
So we were asked to take a whole big slew of pictures and to convert one to three black and white images. This proved to be a lot harder than in sounds simply because I took so many thinking "that would be a good one!"...and then I realize that it's pretty craptastic and "flat" and pick a new one. I think I finally found an ok one...let me know what you think. :)

  2. Good work! I like the first edit that you did the best, however. The cross looks the brightest :)

  3. Nice picture angle. The third is the best in my opinion.

  4. I believe the third image is working best. It has a really strong sense of contrast, with nice crushed dark blacks and bright pure whites, while not allowing the details of the cross (which seems to be the main subject) to disappear. This was a good black & white choice.
