Ah yes, but there is something in the starkness of gray scale. The road with row of barren trees become more barren and surreal. I like black and white. My favorite is an India ink drawing my sister had made for me by a local artist. people look at it and don't comprehend at first. Maybe later, given a few days, a week a month, they suddenly exclaim, "Is that Petrified Springs?"
One is a wood block print taken from the cover page of a college play program. another is a street scene from London with wisps of fog. Color is great, but there is a lot to be said for plain old gray scale.
I like black and white, too. But sometimes color is better. And sometimes they each do good, but different, things. My dad had an old Ansco 35mm camera where you had to adjust every setting by hand, no focusing through the lens. He took some beautiful pictures with that, both B&W and color.
Nice pics SER!

I agree huck, I was thinking I liked the rose picture better in black and white.
ReplyDeleteI think color adds emotion.
ReplyDeleteI will have to do some astro pictures taken at different wavelengths and filters sometime!
