[2014 Warthog]

Well for absolute basics, look for subjects with one or more of the following:

* Stark, high contrast.
* Patterns and textures.
* Simple bold framing/object of interest.

Things with lines or high contrast look good in b+w. Also shooting with the lowest f-stop will separate your subject from the background.

I just have a little pocket camera

There are some pretty kickass pocket cameras out there nowadays. Sony RX1, RX100, Fuji X100s, etc. When the RX100m3 comes out I'll seriously consider getting one if the specs I've seen are accurate.

Far from a photographer but I just like getting out and about with the camera

 

[gaterose]

Haven't had time for much shooting lately but finally had a little last week. Rented a D7100 for a beach trip (Seaside/Santa Rosa Beach, FL) I took last week. Great trip, not as much photography as I originally planned beer but I did fall in love with the D7100. Mostly for the extra buttons (lack of surfing menus), but I was also impressed by the image quality.

My friend had a D610 and I was very impressed with it as well, but it's out of my league.... especially when I think about upgrading glass as well, having bought 2 new DX lenses in the past 9 months.

Visited the USS Alabama in Mobile

This little guy rode with us from Mobile to Seaside, I couldn't believe how clean this is at ~80% crop. I'm also comparing to my 12MP D5000 though.
