Nice pictures!
I should make a few of my pictyures into black and white, then I will post them up here. Just with a point and shoot Samsung.
Mike, I really like your first picture, definately looks better in black a white, it is just one of them objects I think.

I haven't played around with black and white much, but here are some of mine:
I've tried a few B&W shots while train-chasing, but there are some subjects that lend themselves to color (BNSF locomotives) and it's almost criminal to shoot them in B&W. Norfolk Southern, on the other hand...When the economy picks up and likewise train traffic, I'll make more of an effort.

Some really great shots so far in this thread. I've dabbled a bit in B&W conversions. Here's one of my favorite non-storm shots.

That guys around LA etc are cool. He recently went chasing with a tour as well.
I myself have never been too intrigued by b & w, but probably would be if I could do what he has done.

Meh, I tried lol
I tried integrating some color into straight black and whites and I think it turned out halfway decent.

I definitely am intrigued by Black and White (having originally gotten into photography via B&W darkroom work).
I like a lot of this guy's (mitchdobrowner's) stuff but some of it is over-cooked (by my admittedly subjective taste) - sorta like what you'd get if you took Photomatix and turned it to 11 and then converted to B&W. Some of it has that Seriously Photomatix-ed (unrealistic) look.

Something I've been playing around with is the Invert action in Photoshop. I was resting the camera on my dash and the left side moved a bit during the lightning flash, you can see a couple of branches that appear twice:

I love shooting black and white. I think it looks better done on actual film. If done in digital, and then converted over to gray scale, some adjustments to the contrast are usually needed or else it just looks really washed out.
These are from a few years ago, so excuse the cheesy borders.
This lone black tree really did exist in the middle of all the pines...

Cool Topic, and great shots everyone!
A lot of my B&W shots come from Infrared conversions, although I do sometimes convert color to B&W. Here's a few of of my shots:
Glacier National Park - Canon 30D w/ 10-22 lens color shot converted to B&W.
Glacier National Park - Canon IR Modified 10D w/ 20mm lens IR shot converted to B&W.
One of my first IR shots. Sony F707 IR converted to B&W
Another early IR shot. Sony F707 IR converted to B&W
Estes Park in Colorado. Canon IR Modified 10D w/ 20mm lens IR shot converted to B&W.
Arches National Park in Utah. Canon IR Modified 10D w/ 20mm lens IR shot converted to B&W.
Vail area golf course in Colorado. Canon IR Modified 10D w/ 20mm lens IR shot converted to B&W.
Sprauge Lake in Rocky National Park, Colorado. Canon IR Modified 10D w/ 20mm lens IR shot converted to B&W.
Maroon Bells area in Colorado. Canon IR Modified 10D w/ 20mm lens IR shot converted to B&W.
Most of my B&W conversions are done using a Gradient Map in Photoshop.
