They're excellent! You seem to have a very good eye for B&W. 👍

Tomorrow we're driving up to Scotland to see family.
I won't be able to post in our next thread (#17), I may or may not be commenting on others pics (by moblie).
Dunlin.

Thankyou simplejoy.

Have fun in Scotland, where are you going? Highlands or lowlands?

Dundee. That's where the family is.

Dunlin,
Those are great. Thank you.

I have not been able to go out more than once this week on account of the heat here, and am looking forward to cooler weather on Monday. However, I got a shift lens and have been experimenting at home. I hope to be out and about with it next week.
But I am pleased to see that others have been holding the fort. Great shots this week!
Dunlin, now in Bonnie Scotland, where it is undoubtedly cool, found a cute young squirrel, who posed for him. He also experimented with B&W. I think that I always associate B&W with pre 1960s photography and I cant take the concept of a very dark grey strawberry! (Sorry, Simplejoy! My loss...). I dabbled in B&W developing and enlarging at high school and one day I must have a go at it again, but I think B&W needs dramatic lighting to be successful (think Bogart movies!). Steve says that color distracts, but I find that B&W does that for me. Dunlin's ciolored version of the trees and the lake was more up my street. As I wrote: my loss!
Mocha was active in nature, successfully catching butterflies and bird.
We also enjoyed all the fun of Digirame's country fair. Away from the bustle, an egret and a heron entertained us.
Steve T was waxing philosophical.
Photobygms continued to show us what The Netherlands looks like. His filter helped also!
Thanks for all your contributions. This is a great group.
