Here's another batch. The first one is my father's restored 1959 Brockway Husky, which is actually for sale, in case anyone is in the market for a new old truck!
One of my favorite subjects! Here are a few shots from a cars and coffee event last year in Great Falls, VA.
Haven't made it out for leaf photos yet this year, so here are some from the archives. Some green, some brown, and some multicolored.
I remembered a few more pumpkins from a recent apple picking trip.

For not too many, you're not doing bad, CivilEngineer...
Thanks! I scoured the directories and those were it from the pumpkin realm, so I'm out until the next challenge...
Not too many pumpkin shots in my files, but here are a few from the archives.
Here are a few more for the mix. One or two were posted for a previous challenge, though I played around with the post processing more since then and now they pop a bit more. All but the German Shepherd are from the San Diego Zoo.
Here are a few. Some cute; some not so much...
Here are a few for the challenge. My grandfather’s watch, normal and antiqued; one of my favorite watches, normal and stylized; an artistic version of our sundial; and an antique pocket watch.
The timing for this challenge was perfect, as I had just gone on a backpacking campout with my son and hiked to the peak of Big Schloss (elev. 2,963') near Woodstock, VA. Since there's not much room on the rock outcropping summit, all of the shots below were taken roughly from the same spot over the span of an hour. First four shots are looking into West Virginia and last three are looking into Virginia over the Shenandoah Valley. The two panoramas are from an iPhone 8 and the rest are from my DSLR. Download definitely required.
Here is some farm machinery, old boiler room machinery, and a few shots from the 9/11 Museum in NYC.
Here are a few from work and from travels. I played around with a few effects on some of them to go for something different.

Good to see you back, CE🤗. Excellent work👍👍👍❗️ Thanks for sharing. Did you need to use a ND Filter on the museum interior shot? Really nice detail for an interior that had a lot of light top and some pretty deep shadows low👌‼️
Thanks. I appreciate the comments. No filter on the museum shot; just a quick handheld shot from an upper balcony with a little post processing to bring up the shadows and tone down the bright spots.
I didn't think I'd have time to contribute to this challenge, but I found a few extra minutes, so gathered a few images. I don't think any of these are repeats from the last B&W challenge.
Enjoy.
