Tamron SP 28-105 176a does B&W

[J. Smith]

It was an overcast winter day in the vineyards so these were all intended to be shot for b&w conversion. I freely admit there was quite a bit of PP and the final images aren't to everyone's taste but I do like what this lens does for me.
As a sidebar I at times wonder if those here that comment on the lack of sun to make good images realize that is the perfect day for B&W. I loved such day's when I shot film. No hard contrast to battle. You can truly pull shadow detail where you want it.

The golden hour can be pure magic for both B&W and color but remove the color and low angle light of sunrise and set and ad in the diffused light of an overcast or rainy day and b&w can still hold it's own. I remember an add in one of the photo mags years ago from one of the film companys , some rainy street shot in b&w , that had a pitch line of " It's a Black and White kind of day ".
So just saying don't let bum weather hold you back from putting that new/old lens to the test !
