thank you..i'm new here
For most of us here in the Digital Photography forums all that means is that you may need a little extra help. Welcome.

This is a sign at the westbound weigh station at the top of Cabbage Hill. I've always wondered what it said but either the scale is open and busy or I've just never had a reason to stop. On tuesday I stopped to read some messages from the boss and took this picture.
A long shot of the dog park near my girlfriends house. I couldn't figure out what to do with the branch, so I just let it be.

Nice, I wonder how they decide what an illegitimate use would be.]

I'm pretty sure it is anything that doesn't involve stopping a vehicle with failed brakes.
I once saw a family having a picnic in the middle of an entrance to a runaway ramp. Seems like a bad place to be picnicking to me

definitely wouldn't be my first choice
I remember this subject in color before and thought it was great. I think it's great in B&W as well. The shadows on the wall are great and I love the perspective. My ony wish is for a more ominous, forboding, and perhaps darker sky above the structure.
^ The layered feel to this shot is very nice. Winter mountains are hard to shoot. Keeping the contrast without losing the detail in the highlights is something that requires great skill. One thing that I have noticed during this Challenge is how some of the soft, warm landscapes posted in POTD by you-know-who are great in color, but wouldn't stand up all that well in B&W. A B&W shot needs an area of cold black to give it depth. Well framed color shots can get away without that. I would like to see the color version of this if there is one.
My re-submission of the earlier Mt. Rainier shot. Added a bit of post using Adjustment Layers in PS.

The layered feel is what I've always liked about this photo. Thanks. No color version of it though. This was from when I used to select B&W on the camera. Now I just do the conversion in PP. I'm a little torn about that actually. Converting in post makes more sense because it gives you more options but I always thought choosing B&W on the camera forced me to think more about the composition of a B&W photo.
I like the new version of your Ranier shot better. The better detail in the mountain gives it more depth.

Here's a shot I took a few months back since I'm not outside to shoot much these days(even though summer's been incredibly mild so far).
I really like this and the contrast is great. I'm a third generation native in AZ and I've never been down to that portion of the State so it looks like I may have to take a road trip. It reminds me of the area around Nowhere.Nice photo Roman

This shot's amazing. We're taking my daughter to an aquarium this weekend and I only hope I can capture a shot like this.
And another of my favorites from a while back. Jellyfish in the Monterey Aquarium.

I've always liked this pic. There's not enough detail or depth and I haven't gotten great feedback on it but it's one of those pics that I really like personally. I guess that comes from actually being there. This is the Eibsee (frozen of course) in Garmisch, Germany.

I don't know how I missed seeing these before JD, nice image of one of my favorite places in Germany. The jellyfish are an amazing shot!! This looks great in B&W.

Thanks, it is definitely near Nowhere.
I noticed it when we were driving to Tombstone from El Paso and stopped on the way back.Nicely done on your photo!

I agree with CK, this really jumps out in B&W. Did you black out the background or with the camera. I know when the conditions are right, like the background is in heavy shadow and you use a really fast shutter you can black it out. Just interested in your technique. Great shot!
Thanks CK and JD for the comments. Here is the original shot to compare. I was shooting under the shadow of a tree so the background *almost* disappears in the original shot. When I converted to B&W I adjusted the levels and the contrast a bit and the background disappeared by itself.

I have been at school all week but I was able to take some pictures hoping that this would be the topic last weekend!
Here they all are! All taken with a Hasselblad 500ELM and Ilford 125HP4 film. Still trying to get some control over the light leaks I am getting!

I realise that I have posted a lot in one post but due to the nature of having no computer at boarding school the only time I can upload my images is on the weekends!
BTW:
Love this, can I see the colour version?
I am also loving all the other pictures! Too many to have to quote. I think this has been a really good theme choice as there is so much variety! Keep it up guys!
