First attempt at using B&W in the camera

And how long have I had this camera for??? Finally decided I would give the parameters a bit of a trial but only got as far as B&W. I was also trying to muck around a little shooting totaly manual, I figured if I have spent that much on a camera that I might as well get the full benefit of it. Lucky Paddy was in a dozy mood and was happy to lie there and let me practice (he does look a little bored though doesn't he?)
