black & white collections

....recently a friend shared with me a website of black and white photo's and I've become quite fascinated with the look of these black & white photos one can take....and many of these are done in groups so they show many different angles of the same subject...
....this look and what it does to the actual view of the image is unique because each view gives no clue of what colors are viewed or in focus...your imagination can lead you anywhere...
....my flickr site shows a large and growing variety of these black and whites that i have taken...
enjoy...as i have...

nc countryside wandering

wandering in nc is one of my favorite things to do and this feb 12 & 13 i had a excellent road trip with my nikon 3000 and a 18-200 mm lens...I started with just some stops as i drove thru roxoboro and had a quick bite to eat at stuarts resturants, a great must eat family restaurant, the brunswick stew was awesome..., then on to leasburg, reidsville, madison, danbury and hanging rock st park before ending up in mt airy... i took some of a lucky strike smokestack in reidsville and hanging rock state park... then had a wonderful dinner at harvest grill at shelton's vineyard and met chef paul... the next morning started in mt airy and worked my way back to pilot mounatin, then to king and germantown, had lunch in walnut cove at a fabulous small town restaurant and then outside of yanceville i shot the sheds, barns and old houses, even a old out house...then on to prospect hill where the old warrens store and the sky chief pumps are a classic...hope you enjoy the shots as much as i did...
