Black and White

Black and white photos and it's not even Black and White Week? What madness!

Honestly I was just playing around with some of the Lightroom presets and thought this split tone process worked well with these photos.

The sweater is black and white and the jeans are a 'natural' hue, so you aren't missing out on anything, promise.

    Love that second to last photograph. This processing almost makes it look sorta infrared-ish.

    Aha! I do like the results of your playing around, these are such neat pictures! And black and white is always acceptable, even if it's not the week dedicated to it!

    The photos look pretty cool in black and white and I love that sweater - I've been hunting for a thickly striped shirt.

    Hey Lyddie! The pics look great. It's amazing the things camera's can do nowadays. You use to have to pay a photographer to capture all of these looks, but now you can do some on your own. Wishing you a Happy New Year. :)

    On my senior year in high school I was part of the photography club and remember that all pictures we took were in black and white film... i was as bad as I am today so i dont have any good pictures from the time but my very favorite part was going into the dark room to develop the film.....

    I hardly ever see black and white photos anymore - I like the look!

    BTW, you could totally be a hair model in that second photo. I'm feeling super jealous that my hair has never once looked that awesome :)
