I almost missed this new contest from @derangedvisions , I got so busy at the weekend reading posts - I need another me just to be reading posts and leaving comments - so my twin can create some posts for me to share with you all!
Anyway the theme for this weeks awesome @derangedvisions Photography contest is Black and White photographs so get taking some great black and white photographs or do what I did and convert some of your old ones.
So lacking time to go out and photograph things (it would be black for sure, it's nearly 11pm lol) I decided to play iCloud photo library Russian Roulette - open up my library and scroll it up as fast as I can with both thumbs blazing and the photos are a blur - then leave it to catch up and where it ends is the one to black and white. I lucked out on this shot, pretty sure this is from Snowboarding in Chamonix, France.
Well this one is not bad either, my boys when they were a little younger taken at Drayton Manor theme park.
Now, of course the problem with Russian Roulette is you have to accept the consequences when the game goes bad - fortunately my iCloud photo library isn't going to blow my brains out - but it's shared throughout the family so it's full of photos that are not my own.... (I have marked this post NSFW to protect the innocent, viewers of a nervous disposition should close this page right now)
Now there is a story behind this particular photograph, although it's pretty much just hammering more nails in my coffin. My youngest, who I brought up to share brought some little friends back from school - by little friends I don't mean class mates but more tiny and difficult to catch then that. And he shared his tiny little friends with me, so this photograph is after I had some sort of extreme pesticide lotion applied to my barnet - and the wooly hat is to keep the little buggers escaping before it had the desired effect.
Anyway, looking at the positive at least I have a #haturday to throw into this post!
So go forth and win SBD with your black and white photos, enter the colorblind theme photography contest by leaving your black and white photos in the comments of this post

The greatest challenge we face on Steemit is getting our posts seen, I have always believed the simplest and best value way of doing this is by commenting on the blog posts of others, the more you engage people and interact with them the greater the chance they will visit your own blog and return the favour. Other then spending all my free time commenting on Steemit posts, I also distribute coffee roasting machines and also espresso coffee machines and roast my own Speciality Coffee Range. being one of the premium coffee suppliers Yorkshire including a wide range of filter coffee sachets

That first picture reminds me of some of Ansel Adams' old work. Except he didn't ever get any people parachuting in his shots. Great shots.

STOPSome excellent shots looks like you are going to top that one too :D
Aaargh! Head lice? We had a little infestation at the beginning of the year. Girls and long hair... Took us a few weeks to get clear!
LOL! @c0ff33a beefcake pics, I never saw THAT coming! Not so "hot" when you read the story...
I worked in ophthalmology, for a "famous" surgeon for a while. He had this super camera attached to the examination microscope that projected what he saw onto a big screen TV. One day a lady came in and he pulled the scope over, turned on the light. There, before my eyes, I watched a little eyelash hitchhiker respond to the warmth. He stretched his little legs, waved one around as if to say "Hello, world!" Mind you, on the TV the little bastard was about 3 feet across. I squeaked a little, the doctor jumped back from the microscope... busted out the Rx pad and got her out of his chair ASAP...
If I ever do a horror flick, they will be the stars of my show...
