Scavenger Hunt - B&W, Reflections in Glass, Headlights, Seeing Double & Bare

I had so much fun doing last week's Scavenger Hunt so I'm back for another week.

1. Black and White
I considered doing a B&W portrait but I took this photo of a jetty today and wanted to convert it to B&W. I like how it makes the clouds look more ominous. 

2. Reflections in Glass
At first I was a bit thrown by this. I didn't just want to do a straight reflection. I wanted it to be altered in some way. We went into town yesterday so I could take photos of car light trails, and I looked for reflections.  I spotted this one as we went up an escalator from the basement of a shopping mall. They have a large glass awning covering the entrance to the mall and it was reflecting the people walking below. I love how the paving is distorted and all the lines wiggly. 

I took this one outside the library waiting for my husband and son. I looked up and saw this. The bottom half is a reflection in a glass wall, but the top half is looking into a real room.

This one I took at the Art Gallery, they have large segmented windows to the garden and if you stand in the right place it reflects multiple images. Processed with The coffeeShop Blog Cross Processing no.3 action.



I couldn't seem to get the button to work tonight, but I'm linking up with Exploring with a Camera at The Kat Eye View of the World.

3. Headlights
I was practicing taking photos of car light trails. I thought all the reflected colour detracted from the actual head lights so I converted it to B&W.

4. Seeing Double
A reflection; it turned out quite urban looking I thought so I also ran The CoffeeShop Cross Processing no.2 on it to make the blue in their jeans pop more.

5. Bare
It's winter here so there isn't much bareness going on, but we had bare legs and feet at the waterhole the week before last.
Can't wait to see what everyone has come up with.
I still have lots of editing to do on my 365 photos so hopefully I'll get this past week posted tomorrow.
