Black & White
I've been thinking more about photography theory as of late and looking a lot into black & white photography.
Often people with P&S camera wack on b&w mode and love the effect. regardless of why.
I visited berlin this last week as part of a university trip and made a real effort with black and white. not just chancing it but looking at the tonal range within a potential photograph.
Here are a few, not the greatest photos in the world. but an attempt to better understand tone:

I like them, esp the last two. They (all) show a good tonal range - nice work.

Nice shots Dan.
There's some great compositions there and interesting lines - I especially like number 2 and 3.
What lens are you using for the wider shots ? I thought your 18-55 was broken.

Dan
In picture number 2, I wouldn't have gone to the extreme of polishing all the cars parked in the road first. I think that may be a wee bit over the top.
