About black and white pictures

Hello there (again)!

I borrowed two books from a local library. One is about alternative scriptwriting (which is damn interesting) and the other about photographing. I realized that my camera can do good enough video picture (HD!). Thus I have regained my interest in photographing, and I planned to walk around my new home town and experiment with low-key, black and white -pictures. For our film noir -project, you know (although I suspect I'll spend most of my time in front of camera in that one, but we'll see). 

But I found out that Virrat isn't particularly picturesque, so I just ended up modifying my old photographs into low-key B&W. 

All the pictures are from Helsinki. Most of them are from spring, some a few years old. I meant to have them hang on my wall, next to the Moomin-cards, but haven't printed them out yet, if ever.

Gloomy... I've always liked silhouettes. 

I had several photos about puddles and reflections. I like the trees on the reflection. Looks blurrier than is. 

I like how flowers look like butterflies and birds in this pic. It's a little off, but I like it nevertheless. 

Nice display of different textures that B&W brings. 

Gotta love the sky!

Textures once again. You can almost feel them. 

No idea what's floating in the air here

Water looks always nice in B&W. 

Let's end this with color-pic or two. 

I love the space of this photo. 

I had something else to write about, but I've forgotten it... Typical.
Let's call it a day. Until next time!

I will be playing this one by myself shortly.
