B&W Photo Challenge Day #30 - Finally I Need a Drink

I Need A Drink

So this is it #30 in the 30 day black and white photo challenge, it only took me about 2 months to complete ( thank you Mother Nature!) I took this photo with my cellphone, and I thought this would be a good ending photo for this little experiment. I have learned somethings, mainly that I am not a dog and I need some color in my life! I do love love B&W photos but I know that I would go crazy if it was the only pictures I could take (good thing it's 2014) I struggled to complete this task and I didn't get to use all the cameras I planned on using, although I did post pictures that were taken by some of my old cameras, so I guess it evened its self out in the end. Anyways I don't know what I'm going to next but I do know that it will be something in color! 

B&W Photo Challenge Day #29 - Outside the Palace

Outside the Palace

This a shot of one of the statues outside of Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. I took this photo with my cellphone. Vegas is an awesome place not because of the reasons most people give, but for the fantasy it makes you feel like you're in. 

 

B&W Photo Challenge Day #24 - Old Bike

Old Bike

Wow I finally got a new picture! Since I've had to resort to using old pictures, that I had on my computer, and this was never the plan. So this picture I took outside of Wal-Mart using my Galaxy Nexus. I really wish I had a better camera and a better background to deal with but hey it is what it is, and at least it's new.

B&W Photo Challenge Day #18 - Mug Shot

Mug Shot

Now I know what you're saying " what's so cool about a mug?" Well to be honest absolutely nothing, but I just thought it was a little more interesting than just a shot of a product. They say you should try to change your angles or perspective when shooting, well I wasn't going to lay on the floor or climb a ladder in the middle of Target! So I tipped the mug over and made sure I had the others lined up behind it to create some repetition and symmetry. This photo was taken with my Galaxy Nexus, and then tweaked in Snapseed.

B&W Photo Challenge Day #17 - Muscle Up

Muscle Up

Although this photo is not of the highest quality, since it was taken with my old HTC EVO, I still believe it looks better in B&W. I have learned that you can save or at least not make them seen so bad or boring by converting to B&W; I knew this before my little challenge, but now it just reinforced it in my mind. So maybe the next time you look at a B&W image just think what it would look like in color and I bet at least 50% of the time the photo would not look even half as cool as it does in B&W. Well anyways hers the pic I shot at a car show about 4 years ago in my city.

Got Muscle?

 

B&W Challenge Days #10, 11 and 12 - TJ Maxx Trip

Still Waiting

Well the  weather here really hates me this year and is really effecting my abilities to complete my challenge. Like I stated in a previous post I have resorted to converting some of my old images to B&W, however these three photos I was able to take at my local TJ Maxx. All three were taken with my wife's Iphone 5s I decided to not do any editing on these just to see what some untouched Iphone pics look like, overall I'd have to say they are pretty good (damn you Apple, always good at everything!) I am an Android guy myself but hey you use what you got, and in this case the wife's phone did a pretty good job. Here's to hoping the winter ends soon (of course we are getting another 9 inches tonight!) 

B&W Challenge day #8 559's

559's

Another exciting shot of  something in a store(sarcasm is my specialty) Once again this photo was taken with my cellphone, then heavily filtered using 2 Google Apps. Not a lot more to say about this one, other than my annoyance level is continuing to grow. SPRING CAN NOT GET HERE SOON ENOUGH!!!

B&W Photo Challenge Day #7 King James

Okay I know it's been a few days,and mainly thanks to this weather I have not been able to take pictures of anything not of anything that cool so I have to do what I have to do and that is take pictures of random things in stores or around my house. I think I said that was what I was going to do anyways, since I can see the future, not really but anyways this photo was taken with my trust cellphone the Galaxy Nexus. Matter of fact the next few posts are with that camera as well because I'm not going to expose any good camera to this hell (-25 windchill factor) I think not!! 
So this photo I took inside of Sam's club while..... guess what??? waiting for my wife Oh the theme continues! As you can see I heavily tweaked this bad boy in some Google Apps, then just cropped it some in Photoshop.
