Another case of Black and White helping convey a sense of old timeliness and classic ornamentation. I really like how decorative the wrought iron fixtures are. Patterns just for the sake of visual interest[ READ MORE ]
I seem to be always be looking up. The ever changing cloudscape fascinates me to no end. Happened to catch the city overshadowed by some very dramatic cloud cover on what seemed like, a sunny day. The camera couldn’t quite catch what I saw (not without going HDR) so I decided to expose for what [ READ MORE ]
Black & White is great for isolating and highlighting detail of a subject. Also in this particular case, it can give a sense of old timeliness and history.

It certainly was a challenge getting him to hold still though, it was fairly dark when I was trying to [ READ MORE ]
This month is Dikaru’s turn to pick a theme. After his last photo, he decided to go for a classic in Black and White. Black and white is a classic for a reason. Black and white photography has to engage us for differnet reasons that normal colour photography. Black and white relies on composition, lighting, [ READ MORE ]
After Dikaru’s last macro post I was initially gutted. I had been thinking of posting a photo along the same lines.
