I posted this photo earlier this year but it wasn't in black & white. The other night while looking through past photos I converted some to black & white just to see what they look like. Have you done that lately?
This black & white version emphasizes the designs in the water late in the afternoon in the fall a few years ago. I guess I'm looking forward to fall.
Beautiful shot. Love those designs in the water.
ReplyDeleteGreat photograph. I like the B&W version better.
ReplyDeleteI love the design created by the water. It really pops in this black & white version. I too like the black & white the best.
ReplyDeletelol - yes I've found myself looking through older photos and considered processing to black & white. Sometimes an image jumps out and begs to be converted.
cool shot,
ReplyDeleteand I 2 go though my photos, and see what they would look like in b/w, sometime I think they look better :)
Nice shot! Black & white often makes patterns more pronounced, I think.
ReplyDeleteRajesh,
ReplyDeleteThank you!
GAW,
Thanks for your comment and thank you for stopping by!
Kari,
Processing on the computer really has advantages. It's fun to experiment - kind of like doodling. Thank you!
Jel,
I agree, sometimes I get surprised when I see B&W's. It can bring out things not evident in color versions. Thank you!
Dimple,
I think you're right - patterns tend to pop in B&W's with the repeating tones. Thank you!
Its a great shot Mike.
ReplyDeleteWhenever possible I always change the camera setting in the picture style area to monochrome as this produces the best results possible for B&W.
Roy,
ReplyDeleteGood idea but doesn't that commit you to B&W on that shot? Do you take two shots on some of your subjects, one color and one B&W?
I love it in black and white. Well done!
ReplyDeleteJoan,
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Yes it does commit you to that shot Mike, but I do take both if the scene is good enough. You never know what they are going to look like until you get them up on the Mac.{:)
ReplyDeleteRoy,
ReplyDeleteThanks again. I'll have to try taking both shots. It's a good thought because some scenes you know beforehand that they're B&W candidates.
