Default Featured Forum Post: 'Icon's B&W Workshop Series'

It's been quite some time since I've contributed some pictures to the forum. For some time I've had the idea of displaying a few select black and white pictures from my line of work. The reason I haven't rushed this is because I wanted to wait until I had some reasonable images, which I've gathered over time.

I wanted to show a small insight into my life so I've gone black and white simply because of the feeling a B&W image can give. Focuses on what is important.... and it portrays that all encompassing sentimental value.

Hope you enjoy,

Awesome series Icon... I like them all, though if pressed I think the standout for me has to be the starburst on the cutting torch -wow! Thanks for sharing this series, I liked the concept and execution both

Whilst you are speaking a foreign language regarding engine bits, the pictures are outstanding and you've made it look rather glamorous :)

Great stuff Icon! I am kinda partial to B&W myself, and these are a great example how how B&W can really make you focus on shapes, patterns, etc, without the distraction of colours..:).
Thanked by Iconindustries and Livnius.
