Black and White Tulip
I should apologize to everyone for teasing you with the food photo. My son Rob was mad at me for torturing him with it. He wouldn't talk to me for a while, just ignored me on AIM and told me I was mean for posting it. He did forgive me eventually. I will be sending him some goodies to make up for it.This is another one of my black and white flowers. I have been really enjoying doing flowers in black and white. It's very interesting to see how they turn out.
I shot this in my living room using light coming in through the window plus a 60W table lamp from above.
This was very pretty in color too, but when I looked at the individual channels, I found it most striking in black and white, and somewhat high key.

I agree with you! This is really beautiful. I love the different soft shades of grey. Very artistic picture!
this B&W is beautiful, I love your photo's, every day I check them out (when i should be working). I have recently bought myself a camera and a couple of lenses and have yourself and other photobloggers to thank for inspiring me and keeping me inspired on a daily basis. Hopefully when i'm more confident, (and less self critical) i'll start my own blog.
thank you

love the shot – made me think I should definitely try out a few more things when I'm processing the images we post
...smoothed and delicate like a precious marble. :)
you make such super images, I want to throw my camera away and give up....
Tulips are my favorite! I really like this shot. B/W does seem to bring out details that are sometimes not noticed in color shots. Great job.
A beautiful tulp, typical dutch flower ;-)
Beautiful shot. I love it in B&W.
Bonjour,
Beautiful shot! Nice B&W tones! Bravo!
That is a beautiful flower. Now that you made up to Rob for teasing him, what about the rest of us??? :-)
@Padraig-Thanks. I am flattered that you find my photos inspirational.
My best piece of advice is just to always remember to have fun. That's why we do it right? Good luck and let me know when you start your photoblog.
@Jerry-you take wonderful photos!!! I emailed you.
on pourrait croire qu'une photo de fleur en N et B est moins belle... il n'en est rien sur cete photo. elle est merveilleuse
il tuo modo di fotografare i fiori è davvero stupendo
Hey Laurie...I think you're right; this b/w image shows off the details. I doubt we'd see all those lines and scallops in color. Nice work! It makes me want to try b/w for some florals this spring.
Lovely, flower shots, aaaaahhh see it's that time of the year, might as well accept my fate :)

Lovely lovely shot ... makes it look like a sketch with beautiful details. The edges of the flower is lovely too!!!
Très belle photo, j'aime particulièrement le traitement et les tonalités.Parfait!
Beautiful tulip bulb you have here.
Flower look great in B&W when they are presented well and you've done a superb job on this on Laurie. Wonderful detail and I like the subtleties in the tones.
Superb!!! I love B&W flower photos and this one is perfect! The blank white background really makes it that much more incredible.
soft and lovely...excellent tones...
Beautiful. What more can I say!
