Black and white photo challenge : Neighbourhood

Hartlepool marina

I didn’t really expect to take part in Sonel’s Black and White photo challenge again this week.  Then I saw the subject matter and just couldn’t resist having a little play around.

I have an awful lot of shots of my neighbourhood, so the real challenge was in finding out which ones might best convert to black and white.  I find I have a preference for sepia.  How about you?

I love the hunched shadow at the rails on this photo.

The sky on this particular day was practically black already!

How wild and angry does this look? The houses are huddled against it!

I can watch the sea trying to leap the pier all day.

But this is undoubtedly one of my favourite shots from Hartlepool Headland.

Thanks again, Sonel, for getting me to look at my world a little differently.  I rather like what I see.  This challenge business is a little addictive, isn’t it?  I’ve seen some wonderful entries already.  Come with me to Sonel’s Corner and take a look.  How about these for a start?
