SUNDAY STILLS CHALLENGE - BLACK AND WHITE WITH A TWIST


This week our challenge is to pick out two subjects from past challenges and convert the photographs to black and white.  Living on a farm, I have selected animal husbandry and barns.
All of these shots look the best when they are enlarged.

In this first shot, you are looking between two barns...one old, one new.
This is an interior shot...I call it a run in, as the horses have access to it all day long.
Introducing Bermuda.  He is our only remaining cat and was adopted over 15 years ago.  He hates coming in the house but has full access to a warm basement.
Every afternoon at 4pm the horses hang out in the outdoor arena.

This is Abbe...she is being line driven and hopefully will be hooked to a cart in the next two weeks.
