Photo Comp March 2010 :- black and white

From Cornflakes:

woo!

so i get to pick next month's theme huh? hmm...

what about 'black and white'? and i don't just mean take any photo and grayscale it. the black and white has to set the theme/mood of the photo you're taking

Examples:

OK the odd thing about this one is its actually a colour picture, but at that precise time of day thats how it looked

[5hort5]

It's the moon, cropped a touch resized and sharpened then added a touch of contrast but not much.

Flying over the Falklands 2008 on a Air to Air refueling training mission.
I was in the bubble dome in the Herc... fantastic experience.

[cuffy]

Not sure if this is breaking the rules, but black and white was the main colour.
No photoshopping, just cropped.

A sight that may become more common as spring progresses, coffee, glasses and a curvy Haynes manual...

Taken today at Alton Station. De-saturated in Photoshop.
Check out the driver's hat!
Really should paint out the baby in the modern buggy if I get time as it really does not fit the rest of the picture.

Didn't think I had any black and white ones but Mark_H's has reminded me I did have one that turned out OK, taken well before my DSLR unfortunately, must revisit the shoot sometime but I think my Canon S3 did pretty well!
