Well as some of you guys know I just got my G3 just over a week now and I have had some great fun taking pictures 8) Today I was at my friends performance shop and I got some great pictures of "Nitrous"; He's half Red Nose and half American Pit Bull. Now I'm still waiting on my short courses book to arrive so these pictures were taken on "auto" mode :? The pictures look "ok" in color but in B&W these pictures seems to grab my attention a lot more. What do you guys think?

Would any of these be contest worthy? :oops:

The eyes on the top one are a bit scary, but the bottom one is great (even if it does look like you are wringing his neck :) )!

B&W is a much more difficult medium because you don't have 'friendly'colors to save your butt & I think it works well here.

I like the first one best, & better before you fixed the eyes. It's sort of hypnotic & I'm wondering if my leg is on his menu! :lol:
Have you tried a version with everything B&W except the red eyes? Sort of a "Hound of the Baskervilles" effect?

Thanks for the tip! The eyes actually came out blue in the picture. I really like how this one came out. Thanks again.
