BP's 5 day challenge

[Black Pearl]

Paul nominated me via FB to run the 5 day B&W challenge - I started it today as I'm off work and it will end Sunday when I'm also off. Should give me a little more time to play about.

 

Taken with the iPhone 6 while out on my usual mutt walk down to the coast:

 

 

Not sure whether to just take/submit anything that grabs my attention or to make it into a theme?

 

I could just use the iPhone.

I could make them all of round subjects in a 1:1 format.

I could use 5 different cameras.

I could use 5 different types of processing.

 

 

.....see what happens tomorrow.

Good start m8

Something about woodgrain in b&w, nice one

[kev7d]

Very nice capture. The detail in the tree is great.

Day two and a play with the iPhone and my latest fav app - TinType by Hipstamatic.

 

I don't operate without at least two of these of a morn......

 

[Paul]

Hmmm, I drink tea...  

 

Nice edit style.

 

Paul.

[ChrisLumix]

Not available on the  Mac (as usual) - obviously made for iApple, not AppleX.

[Black Pearl]

You can't even get Hipstamatic on Android they are rock solid iOS only.

Nice 1940s style picture, good PP work BP,

Day 3:

 

Something a little different and a little unusual - I tied a torch to the support bar in the conservatory with a length of string then used a long exposure app on the iPhone to record it spinning.

After a bit of positioning to align the roof panels and an edit in SEP you get this.

 

[Paul]

Looks like a weapon - futuristic.

Day 4:

Last seconds snap

[Paul]

Looks a touch blue sir...

[ChrisLumix]

Looks a touch blue sir...  

 

Paul.

 

B&W stands for Blue and White, right?

[Black Pearl]

First two are warm - second two are cool - you never know you might get a neutral one today 

[Black Pearl]

Day 5:

 

There we go - five days and five monochrome images all with a similar theme and all shot with the iPhone.

Its been fun to have a purpose to my usual random snappings.

 

 

...and its even an actual black and white.

[kev7d]

.....and it has been an interesting thread to follow. Enjoyable. I am amazed by the iPhone.

[Black Pearl]

And all five together just for fun:

That last group is a real wall hanger BP.

[THELONGMAN]

All brilliant,--Whats next week???

[Martyn]

I love the way your theme has come together as a whole. I'm guessing you had that planned from the beginning.

[Black Pearl]

After the first shot I decide to keep them round subjects in a square frame. 

 

Next week we're on the west coast of Scotland for a few days no not sure what you'll get when I return.
