I enjoy converting color photos into black and white images and want to see your images, too.
I'm into composition, tonality, pattern & repetition and seeing reality in unique ways.
Two images of the St. Louis Gateway Arch, originally taken on color negative film in 1991 and digitized & converted to B&W last month.

Here's an 8 image sequence taken over the course of 3 seconds- The game is called Ultimate for those unfamiliar with competitive "Flying Disc" events and competitions.

I collect odd things to set up for still life type compositions in my home studio. Sometimes the lighting setup is basic like with the cubes, and other times it's more complex like with the glass globe.

We asked earlier in December how (if) UHH has changed your photography. Now an annual reminder about goals (resolutions).
Did you make and accomplish any for 2021?
Yes
Should you make any for 2022?
Already have set on a few new(er) things to try and/or re-try.
Current Equipment
D850, D600; AF lenses: 24-85 f/2.8-4 (walk around lens), 24-70 f/2.8, 70-300 f/3.5-5.6, 14-24 f/2.8, 150-600 f/5-6.3; Manual lenses: 20 f/2.8, 55 Micro f/3.5, 300 f/4.5; External Flash: SB700.
Are you learning to better use your current equipment?
Yes
Are you learning your processing software?
Trying out CaptureOne v22 …Been using LR since beta.
Are you organizing your legacy images?
Have the process down & been using it since I got my first DSLR in Dec 2006.
Did you sell your unused and outdated equipment?
No.
Are you using your tripod?
When it works for what I want to shoot, yes.
Are you organizing your new images?
Using the Body:Year:Date+type of shoot as folder/file format.
Are you using your external (speedlite) flash?
Carry it around in my tote all the time & use it when appropriate.
Did you consolidate miscellaneous HDs into a single larger drive?
Yes
Did you implement and follow a back-up strategy for your image files,
software install files, and passwords / credentials?
Yes
Did you investigate insurance / replacement costs of your equipment?
No
Did you download the PDF copy of your camera model?
Yes
Technique
Are you using Back Button Focus?
Not much
Are you using selective focus with an off-center AF point placed specifically on the subject?
More often than not
Did you watch any utube training for your software?
No
Did you return to a prior subject with a new lens or technical approach to specifically improve on a prior attempt?
Yes
UHH Participation
Did you ask for help?
Not necessary
Did you answer a request for help?
Might have…
Did you share any images?
Yes
Did you comment on any images?
A few
Life
Did you make a photography-based trip?
Several
Did the pandemic increase or decrease your overall photography effort?
In some ways, yes.
Did you shoot any film?
Spent a lot of time digitizing a lot of negatives & slides but didn’t shoot any film with film camera bodies.
Did you display your images on a digital frame or TV?
On TV when computer is idle.
Did you print any images?
Yes
Did you sell any images?
Several folks compensated me for images.
Did you enter a photography competition?
No
Did you change to mirrorless?
No.
Every journey, even one that takes years to complete, begins with the first step. Don't let a knowledge of the length, or just a fear of not reaching the end, stop you from ever even starting.
Enjoy the holidays and stay safe!
I've been very passionate about making photographs since my first photography class in 1975. That journey is continuing and I'm loving it.

One of my old toys, bottom lit- the shape, pattern & repetition along with the variations of both are what I SEE and find most interesting.

Exquisite use of leading lines, pattern & repetition in the creation of this composition!

Here's some back lighting fun I had- some in the studio and some out there with the sun.

Here are two of my favorite "minimalist" images. Taken at Tyne Beach, Freeport, Bahamas with my first digital camera, a Nikon Coolpix 950 in '03.
