The Weekend in Black and White: Bike Rack


I noticed this bike rack at Lake Lynn and it reminded me of one another blogger photographed, maybe for the weekend in black and white, maybe for another theme.

I wanted to crop out the cars but that didn't work for the whole shot because at the edge there was still part of the cars. Therefore, I decided to show the full shot above and a crop of part of the rack below.

I think I prefer the cropped shot. Click for the home of the weekend in black and white.

i think that second one is best too. it draws your attention to what you want seen. those cars are somewhat of a distraction, aren't they? do you have photoshop elements? if so, you could blur that background out all together. hope all is well. have a great day.

Very cool photo. I like them both, but prefer the cropped shot, as well.

That's an interesting scene.
I like the first shot though.
It captures and situates the geometrics well.

Have a great weekend!

Nice in black and white, and the shadow adds so much. I like the way the metal flows from one side to the other. Lovely capture.

If I had cars in a photo, I'd want to crop them out - so I understand that. However, in this case, I think the cars give it a context and I prefer the larger picture with them in.

The cropped one looks like the Letter "H", nice shot with the shadows being cast by the sculpture:)

I love the croped shot, the shadow makes it look like writing. The first shot would be great without those cars.

I think they both look cool. Another idea would be to crop the cars out of the top photo.

I love lighting/shadowing effects in this B&W photo, especially the first one! Composition is great, too!
Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend.

I prefer the first one. There seems to be a drama going on with the shadow of the rack comapred to the dull background of the cars. That works really well for me.
