FFF: Black and White

I LOVE Black and White photos and I have a ton of Black and whites on my old (broken) computer along with the majority of my photos. But I dipped into the last two months and these are a few of my favs. The first 3 were converted to B&W in picasa (which has several BW choices and I'll let you know which ones I used) and the last one was taken with my camera in its B&W setting.

Love this one of Toby...mainly because I could listen to him giggle all day and this captures his precious giggle face. It's a filtered B&W.

I think B&W does a great job of focusing us to the moment and not necessarily everything else going on in the pic. Daddy with his girl is a focal B&W.

I'm also a big fan of landscape B&Ws. This is of COBA in Mexico. It was fashioned after Tikal.

Can't believe I'm posting this one since I have on not one stitch of makeup....It was our very last morning in Mexico. Oh how I miss the pleasant weather and tropical air.

If photoshop is too hard for you and you're not a fan of it's free version paint, give picasa a try. It's free and easy! You can't do everything that you can do in paintshop but you can do a pretty good editing job (oh, and blogger posts). For more Black and Whites head on over to HANNAH our hostess with the most-ess. Have a great weekend everyone!!!!
