Today I brought to the table six photos I took almost one year ago, last May. I found myself in a proper mood for some photo editing, stumbled upon said folder (the event took place at the Fencer's Day festival at St. Petersburg), and I left it with having some double and triple takes processed in Photoshop - exactly the stuff to share in this community. Hope you like my selection, and on my side - I always appreciate your opinions and fave picks. 🐈
Have your pleasure with the Art of Black-and-White photography!
(Actually, this one was staged... I did not direct the model, but we posed me, and smiled like mad having massive lulz while I was making my captures - god knows why!).
And the uncropped version looks like this:
Here I strongly prefer the uncropped version in B+W.
Young jedy's at training; I think I love monochrome more here.
Sparring!
Monochrome conversion here is very convincing ... but still, colour version is so good and in its own right, that I cant choose one for sure. Which you would vote for?
This one would be easy to pick! the colour one, right?.. or not?..
At the velodrome. Here without any hesitation, I go for monochrome version. Damn convincing!
All pictures taken by me. I present some oldies today, everything you see is my evening walk with .... across a few central streets of St.Petersburg.
And the last experiment for today. In this case I go with the colour version, it seems to me more convincing. (And monochrome is weak, not juicy at all). And what about you?

That was all for today. Thanks for walking with me, and see you next time.
Пасип что заглянули на огонек! и до новых встречъ. Надеюсь, вам было приятно прогуляться со мной по улицам Петербурга.
