Cee’s Black & White Challenge together with Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge was the first challenge in which I participated. So it’s with a heavy heart that I am saying good-bye to CBWC. I learned a lot about monochrome photography (as I generally did from Cee’s Challenges). Like many (I suspect) I take my photos almost exclusively in colour and only give it a monochrome, selective colour or desaturated treatment afterwards on my PC.
Cee has asked for our favourite monochrome photos so I went back and browsed through eight years of monochromes and picked a few.
If you have a black cat you have to feature it in at least one monochrome photo. So here is Henry as a toddler five years ago:
Talking of young ones, here are two:
and another one, this time not in black and white but in sepia:
As well as a whole bundle of littlies:
This one of a tapir is one of my favourite whimsical photos:
Sculptures often lend themselves well to monochrome treatment. My personal favourite is this shot of the well muscled back of the god Pan:
I usually don’t like robbing flowers of their colours but there is always the exception to the rule:
Most of the time, however, I can’t make up my mind:

I so adore your gallery for this final CBWC. We do go back a lot of years together. It’s been wonderful seeing your photography grow and get richer over the years. I hope you will be able to join me in the Which Way challenge. See you around, as I know this is not the end 😀 😀

I used to do Which Way? and then it changed hands to somebody on blogspot. I have my problems with blogspot – I got a lot of weird spam (using my husband’s name who isn’t connected with blogging at all) and I hate that I as a wordpress-er cannot just click “like” on a blogspot post. So, yes, I am looking forward to which way again (although I was trying to cut down my challenges because, you know, time). — Thank you for hosting CBWC for all those years. I am going to miss it.

I don’t like blogger either. It causes a lot of trouble on my end too. Welcome back to Which Way. 😀
