Default Black and White Pics

We all know that monochrome = insta-art. So let's post black and white pictars so that we may relive the days of Ilford Delta, T-Max and Tri-X from Kodak. Plus i feel that Black and White retain stories and backgrounds better because they lack the distracting colors of color photos, letting the viewer concentrate on the moment at hand.

Above all, shooting BW makes you more sophisticated and classier leh. You dun believe. Try it lah.

Anyways here's some pics to get the ball rolling. Haven't posted some of these anywhere else and some are re-edited, so i'd appreciate the critique.

You are right! So much classier.

Hmm.. Lemme go dig up what I have. Did you take these directly in black and white... or did you use desaturate in Photoshop?

Camera doesn't have Monochrome feature in RAW so i have to use Lightroom's BW feature and then tweak it.

Now interested in a Voigtlander Bessa coupled with T-Max 400, but see how lah.

Back with pics of the Gold Coast, shot with a manual Leica Summicron. It isn't supersharp, but it allows for me to accurately prefocus and unlike my Canon Ls, the Infinity doesn't "run" when it's cold.

I shoot by Cartier's adage that "sharpess is a bourgeouis value". So mind the lack of sharpness and focus
