Here are a few from down at the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks taken yesterday - Enjoy.

no doubt i've asked this before but what did you use to convert these? i like the tonal quality ( wow that sounded like i actually know what that meant, maybe i should go back and change it to "pretty colors" )

I'll join in - this is my first B&W conversion. I went from this:

I love the sepia tone.

Here's one more I just tried using a high contrast process.

I'd only had my camera 2 weeks when I took this and kept forgetting to take the date off

Thanks- I used the Gorman Method, I usually pick a very dark brown tone in lieu of black when converting- no real reason other than my personal preference.

Thats nice- yes I was doing the Gorman method by hand when I first got CS2 - until I learned about actions. You can download this or many other B&W actions for CS2 at Action Central.

Not sure about Elements 5 but I downloaded a B&W Conversion plug-in for Elements 4 at Photo-Plugins that I still use freequently.

A couple that I did of my middle son a few weeks ago....

Oh...and this one the lighting was pretty harsh and it didn't come out very clear (I had a moving target!), but I thought that you guys might appreciate what he was holding!

How sweet! You could crop it a bit and get rid of the date that way. I think it would look great as tighter close-up.

The vinetting adds a nice touch.

Well duh.. why didn't I think of that; you are so right. Thank you, fitzperry. Oh, I have soooo much to learn... here's my updated version:

...and one more...

Thanks Gdad! I wanted it to look old.

OK, a more recent shot, from the snowstorm last weekend:

That's a great shot BrerMama - very nicely framed.

All right, this one isn't black and white, but it is sepia. I think it is real neat, we went walking thru the cornfield accross from our house and I found this ear of corn, very unusal!

Just found this thread & love it!!!
Another one of my favs!

What a GREAT idea for a picture! I'll have to use this one! Well done!

Here's a fairly standard picture of the steps of Montmartre. The print looks better than it does on here!

NICE!! I like this one a lot. Well done!
