  • Florence, Arizona Home Tour- February 2018- Black and White Photos Part 3

    December 26, 2020 /

    After 25 days of sharing the photographs I took during the Florence Home Tour in February 2018, today’s post is the last post of the black and white edited photographs and the photographs I took during the Florence Home Tour. I’m not going to miss talking about the home tour because after years of hanging onto the photographs, I’m happy to finally post them and move onto talking about other photographs, art, sewing, and DIY I took and worked on instead of focusing on writing about a home tour that happened three years ago this coming February. And so, here are the last black and white photographs of the Florence…

    December 25, 2020 /

    After editing the photographs I took while on the Florence Historic Home Tour in Florence, Arizona, I realized I could convert the photographs I took to black and white. Some turned out better than others, but there are photographs I wanted to post on my blog. It seems like after converting the photographs I took of the Second Pinal County Courthouse, I began to have problems finding photographs that look good in black and white. At that time I had an idea to use photographs that looked more “artistic” and photograph them. It was a good idea, but I didn’t take enough photographs that would fit in that style to…

    After editing the photographs I took during the 2018 Florence Home Tour, I liked the way some of them turned out. I wanted to experiment with Photoshop and see how my photographs would look if I converted them to black and white. Since I’m so happy with the way they turned out, I decided to make a few posts about them. The first set of photographs is of the Second Pinal County Court House.

    June 20, 2018 /

    Hi everyone! I know it’s been a while since I posted any of the photographs I took at Old Tucson in 2012, but after all the photos I took of the Spring blossoms, I wanted to take a beak from posting photographs and post all the other things I have to talk about instead. The photos I’m posting today are the back and white converted photographs. All the photographs in this post are of the buildings and scenery found in Old Tucson. Converting the photos was not very hard, but I did have some trouble getting the photographs with a large amount of light colored objects in it to convert…

    December 28, 2017 /

    Hi everyone! This is the last post of 2017 and I don’t know were the time has gone. For this post, I wanted to share one last set of photos I took in 2017 that I converted from color to black and white. These photos are of the peach blossoms I took very early this year. The colored version of the peach blossom photographs can be seen in a post I wrote here. Here are the photographs… Editing these photos was fairly easy. They converted to black and white without too much fuss. In fact, the only thing I needed to do was adjust the contrast before they looked the…

    It’s the last week of 2017 so before the year ends, I wanted to make two more posts about photographs I took in 2017 that I converted from color to black and white. Looking through the photographs I took this past year, I found some photographs I took to test my then new Cannon camera. I wanted to take a few of the photographs and convert them to black and white just to see how they would look like. Here are the black and white photographs I converted of the animals… These are the ones of the flowers… And finally, here are the converted photographs of the saguaro blossom buds……

    Hi everyone! I’m back with some more black and white photographs, this time they are ones I did not post here before. I found them while searching for other photographs I took this year, but when I realized I never posted them. The photographs, which are of a saguaro blossoms and saguaro blossom buds, looked nice so I thought it would be a good idea to post them before the end of 2017. Since I never posted the photographs online, I decided to post both the colored version and the black and white converted versions in one post.
