Black and white London

[Josh Bear]

Dear All,

As some of you may know I enjoy the odd day out to London (See the links)

Anyway, Over the past seven days I have spent a couple of days in London with my family and took along the E P1. All of the pictures below and at the link were taken using the B&W filter and shot in jpeg as I have decided to wait for the lightroom update to recognise E P1 raw files.

I spent the days looking for pictures that would work well in B&W either in terms of textures or in terms of imagining what pictures of London once looked like before colour film.

I hope you enjoy the pictures and as always please feel free to comment.

I like the street market shot the best, has a real 60's gritty B/W feel about it.

I have some old Photo mags from the 60's & early 70's with shots like this, the old Kodak Tri-X push developed to a high ISO.

Great stuff! Certainly adds a different perspective to the average 'London' shot I think, a nice diversion.
