For the month of Februaryย let’s see your benches processed in Black and White

Tips for B&W photography.
If you would like to join in with the Bench photo challenge then please take a look at my Bench Series page. No complicated rules, just a bench and a camera required ๐
- Create your own post and title it Bench Series:ย February
- Include a link toย this pageย in your post so others can find it too
- Add the tag ‘bench series’ so everyone can find the benchesย easily in the WP Reader
- Get your post in by the end of the month, as the new benchย theme comes out onย the first Sunday in March
My Picks of the Week:
Well there is always one who wants to break the rules (but then rules are always meant to be broken) – have a look at the gorgeous benches from Restlessjoย in her tongue-in-cheek post.
Elizabeth takes us to Sydney Opera House with some lovely night shots.
Lumar1298 has some pretty benches and locations for us
Aletta has some long benches this week, but are they the longest benches?
Oddly shaped bench on Klara’s post this week
and Pauline has some odd character on one of her benches ๐
This is the last week for Black and White images so if you have any please enter them before next Sunday as then I shall be looking for Wooden benches.
I’ve very much enjoyed this B&W series. Here is my contribution for the final week: http://travelwithintent.com/2015/02/22/bench-south-broadway-los-angeles/
Be over soon ๐
I wonder what lies beyond said bench. An intriguing photo Jude.
I like a bit of mystery occasionally ๐
Lovely, I really like your framing in this shot.
It was a very conveniently positioned bench ๐
I agree the framing and silhouette of this image enhances the lovely fretwork. Nice composition Jude.
Here is my last B&W it is a mystery!!! https://memoriesaremadeofthisblog.wordpress.com/2015/02/23/bench-series-february-black-white-4
Thanks PP.
A rule breaker? Me? I’m good as gold, Jude ๐ Just, like yourself, a little pressed for time. Thought I’d throw them all at you at once ๐ But would you believe it, there are more today! Thanks for the link ๐
It’s a terrible obsession to have. Once you get it you see benches everywhere!! I am hoping that by the end of this year I shall be over it ๐
I was on the bleak windswept north east coast this morning and the walkers couldn’t believe some of the shots I was taking. ‘You want THAT bench????’ ๐
Am I allowed to snort?
Snort away ๐
Thank you ๐ฎ
Forgot to say how very effective your B & W is this week ๐
Thank you – the bench from which the header comes ๐
G’day Jude I have nominated you for the 5 day B&W challenge, I know you are a very busy person so no problem if you cannot fit this in, but what I liked about it is it is only for 5 days and I am enjoying checking through my photos and playing with B&W
Ah, thank you PP. I shall do my best ๐
Look forward to seeing your pics/picks…
This one looks like it should be on a greeting card. Or it’s a background for a shadow puppet play. ๐
I suppose that would work ๐
Love this series! Going to start looking out for benches here in Cape Town
oooh, I’d love to see some benches from CT ๐
