changed my photo interest

Since I don't travel as much as in the past few years for obvious reasons, I have grown to like urban & street photography in mostly B&W unless there are lots of colored layers to show. How many other hoggers have altered their images?

Do you mean convert color digital images to B&W in PP with say Photoshop? Yes, I sometimes convert landscapes, and close-ups to B&W. I also scan B&W film negatives.

Created B&W?
Yes, when appropriate. I

Topaz B&W2 is an excellent plugin giving a wide range of conversion possibilities. Yes, often color grabs too strong the image and B&W better expresses the landscape.

The nice thing about photography is there's always something to shoot. I can look around the room I'm in now and see possibilities for shots. Lighting, angles, combinations of elements - there are lots of possibilities all around us. I haven't changed my "focus." I still shoot anything and everything.

I wonder if anyone makes B&W conversion glasses.

My biggest change in the past five years has been in photo editing, exploring endless possibilities of creative expression.
I know a couple of folks who took up macro photography or studio setups (primarily still life) when they developed health (mobility) challenges.
As Jerry says, there is always something to photograph!

Depending on the image, I will occasionally convert to B&W. Some images just look better that way. And, it’s easy to try different “looks” in LR or PS.

I believe the OP means "have altered their <interest in> images".
Not modified images..... (Read the title again.)
I have not.

When I lived in Pennsylvania I mostly did street and urban landscape photography. When I retired in 2010 I found that cities in Florida don’t have the character and characteristics of the northern industrial cities, and I started with nature and seascape photography. Unfortunately nature photography doesn’t move me like before. Recently I started doing more documentary and environmental photography.

There have been occasional topics in the past about how to find interest in a new environment. It's great you were able to adjust, Mac.
Once I learned to appreciate the unique landscape here, along with all the possibilities of photographing agricultural equipment, irrigation, the prep and harvest of fruit and hops, I found a whole new photogenic world!

I remember a photo you posted a while back of an apple orchard taken with a 20mm lens. It really impressed me.

Added to my "photo interests" are videography, aerial shooting, phone shooting, increasingly complex post processing and even some teaching in a retirement community.
