Head in the Black & White Clouds

The top of a cloud in black & white

I mentioned in a previous Black & White photo post that while I love the aesthetic I'd never done much of it, i.e. I'd never bothered to process my (colour) digital pictures into adequate black & white photos. But now that I've hit upon a method whose results I like, expect a lot more black & white posts on this blog!

Today I'm presenting 5 shots taken mostly during my last India trip (except the first, which was taken in Khor Fakkan). I hope you like 'em, and if you'd like to find out how I did them, do check back here in a few days when I'll put up a tutorial on how to convert images to B&W using the GIMP. (You can follow the site's RSS feed, and me on twitter).

Hey - this is a great collection. I love the grainy texture and the "looking upwards" feel to a lot of the compositions. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Ed! The grain comes from the plugin I used in GIMP that also converted it to B&W. Will post a detailed tutorial on Friday! Do check back.
