Today we are joining You Did What with Your Weiner and Dachshund Nola in our first Black and White Sunday. The pictures below of Leroy were taken in color but converted to black and white.
I am always hesitant to use black and white photos with the Newfs because a few people have told me in the past that there natural coloring is so beautiful that the black and white does not do them justice.
I however, am a big fan of black and white photos and I would like to experiment more with it.

Love the second photo. You should click on over to my blog – you will find a Black and White Sunday blog hop! That’s right, we made it official and turned it into a blog hop. This is our soft launch and your chance to “get in on the ground floor”. Ha, ha.

I love black and white photos. There is so much you see when you just focus on the image itself. Great pics Jen!

The second photo is pawsome! I see why some people would say doggies look better in colour – I don’t like being photographed in b/W as you can’t see my tri colours – but the human says its fun and makes photos look more ‘artistic’ *waggy tail*.

We think your newfs look beautiful in any color

Super fabulous!
Elizabeth says:
Thanks for joining us! Black and white photos are so much fun! You really can get a lot of detail with black and white. Love your photos!
Misty Shores Chesapeakes says:
Love the second one, what very soulful eyes!
Scrappy says:
PAWmazing photos!
I LOVE the whiskers that show in that second one – precious!
Jen says:
The black and white photos are lovely!
It’s neat to play around with different picture colorings and setting sometimes. It can really make the difference if the picture maybe wasn’t so awesome in the first place (okay, so many of my pictures aren’t awesome in the first place).
Jodi says:
I think they are beautiful!! I accidentally hit the ‘negative’ effect on my cell phone and couldn’t figure out what the hey was wrong! LOL
Two French Bulldogs says:
You guys are looking pretty cool in black and white

Daisy says:
Black and white has taken nothing away from the newfies! What wonderful studies.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Vicki says:
B&W photos show more detail of the subject by stripping the (sometimes) confusing colors. This allows the eye to truly focus on the main subject of your photo.
Misty commented on the soulful eyes and Scrappy likes the whiskers. Those details really pop with black and white.
Nice job Jen!
Mary, Roxy and Torrey says:
I love those. The eyes in that second photo…..awesome!
Barbara Kimmerle says:
Beautiful photos of Leroy, they really capture the expression in his eyes.
Crystal says:
I think any dog of any color can look good in black and white in the right photo. And, I’m not sure if you know this (I only figured it out recently), but dslr cameras have a black and white setting, and have adjustments you can make with the “color” on them, which can enhance certain aspects of the final black and white piece. Or, just messing around with the color curves of a black and white photo can really help it as well.
Bongo says:
That second photo is pawsome. I wonder if I would look any different in black and white.
sprinkles says:
Love that second photo!
2 brown dawgs says:
Very nice. I never think the brown dawgs look good in B&W photos either. I like them in sepia, but not so much in B&W. I should try this too.
Pamela says:
The b&w application looks so different from b&w film. It’s a more old-timey look. I almost expect to see a six-shooter and cowboy hat.
Nichole says:
beautiful!!!!!
Pup Fan says:
Gorgeous! I’ll have to join in next week.
Julie says:
Great shots – Leroy looks thrilled to have his picture taken
Olga says:
Imagine black newf on the brightest July sun at midday; it will be true b&w picture. Or… in the snow?
Something like that:

Very lovely shots, especially the second one. Love the look on his face.
