I enjoy black and white photos because it forces the photographer to go back to the basics. The beginning of perspective, composition, and levels. You know its a good B&W shot when you have a wide variety of whites, blacks, and grays. For some shots, they can have a more sentimental meaning when you convert it to black and white. It can also help clean up a picture with crazy colors; quiet down the absurd mess of color you may have. These shots I use a 55-350 mm lens from Tamron.  Please enjoy!
