I'm off to a photography course

A few weeks ago I clocked up another year (read: birthday) and received a wonderful gift from Mr B - a photography course. So I am immersing myself in all things photography to try and get a sense of what makes a good photo and of course studying my camera manual and photography blogs.

My favourite type of photo is black and white. It can show an extra layer of emotion that can be lost in color and sometimes show more of the soul (well for me anyway!). I have been browsing around different blogs and below are some of my favourite black and white images.

This first one is actually my nephew playing in the yard on a hot summers day. He is so full of energy and its a rare shot to get him standing still but Liz Arcus did a wonderful job of it. As you can see she won an award for this shot.
