[Theme] b&w's

Trapper's hut, Svalbard.

Anthony - very nice shot and woodwork! 

When I saw your shot I recalled this one and gave it a try in b&w.

Anthony,  great job on the textures and tones on the wood.   Of course the bleak surroundings add a lot.

Lars,  I like it but seems you should be able to get more details from the wood, pealing paint.  Some work on the mid-tone slider maybe.

All of you seem to have cool old structures made of wood.  I have many ruins (less all of the time with land values) but mostly mud and stone.
Cheers,
Tom

Thanks for commenting Tom.

I've probably focused more on contrasts than fine details in the wood etc. Also, the light was a mix of sun and shade. I might give your suggestions a try.
I agree with your comments on Anthony's shot - great detail, tones, textures. Maybe the (seemingly) diffuse light is better(?).

Lars, Tommie, thanks, the hut and bleak surrounds did seem a good b+w target.  Lars, I like your shot also.

Sometimes, when a camera is set up for a long exposure and you trip the shutter, unexpected stuff happens. In this case, despite autumn had commenced and the +8C (max.) water temperature of  the Arctic Sea, these intrepid youngsters undressed and happily ran  into the breaking waters on this Lofoten beach.

From this week's shooting. Exploring the neighbourhood with an 'obsolete' camera and an even more obsoleted lens. Fuji S5 Pro and the 16/3.5 Nikkor.
