Also, your eyes are not tempted by the color...you can focus more on texture and composition.Patricia Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805777892399781031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5289141611011542491.post-4536794702352520072014-01-01T05:03:58.315-05:002014-01-01T05:03:58.315-05:00Well that was interesting and totally unexpected, ...Well that was interesting and totally unexpected, I actually preferred the B&W ones. To me, there was much more textural context to pull me in; whereas the colored ones were more of a flat rendering to indicate that you were there recording the images. The B&W showed the nuances of depth in the contrasting shades and literally took me by the hand to walk through the images. To me the colored ones just seemed like wet glaring paint on a glass all running together and I didnt expect to like the B&W ones more...

Later, I convert to B&W. This gives me the most flexibility in adjusting color contrasts, etc. Besides, sometimes, while the whole frame may work in color, parts may also convert well to B&W. Keep your options open...like your heart!Patricia Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805777892399781031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5289141611011542491.post-2118835786614096142013-12-31T10:59:52.489-05:002013-12-31T10:59:52.489-05:00I love your black and white images.

Do you have your camera set to B/ W and shoot that way or convert?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01582641351933279263noreply@blogger.com
