This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Your Best Black & White Photos.’ See more responses here. Having posted only one black and white photo until recently, this is the second such post in a couple of weeks.
In the top photo, clouds swirl around Pu’u Ahumoa on the southwest slope of Mauna Kea. The second photo shows surf crashing against the same wharf seen in the previous post. Last, but by no means least, is a photo of a tide pool on the North Kohala coast.

Your island is beautiful in any color, Graham. The tide pools make a fabulous black and white photo.

Love the tide pool and the smooth rocks around it.

Thanks, Donna. I think this is one that looks better in black and white than in color.

The rocks’ texture and shapes seem more emphasized.

The first photo set the tone Graham, love it. I agree with Jo and the spray and clouds melding 🙂

I like the area where the first photo was taken, near the saddle between Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, because there’s almost always something interesting going on with the clouds.

Thanks, Jo. I realize I have an older photo that I’ve never run where the surf makes this wave look insignificant. I might have to run that one sometime soon for a comparison.

Thanks, Terri. I will try to be more aware of B&W opportunities in the future, with a view to doing a B&W post once in a while.

Those are great! BW isn’t something I play with often so it was kind of fun to play around with it this week, though I couldn’t get my lightroom to open so had to use another program.

Like you, I don’t do much B&W, but it is interesting to see the difference. I’m going to try and do a B&W post once in a while. I hope you get your Lightroom working again. It’s frustrating when something suddenly starts having issues.
