"Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art." Ansel Adams
As I sat at the computer editing photos last night, I decided to start trying some of my photos in black and white. While adjusting them in Photoshop, I couldn't help but think of some of the Ansel Adams images I had seen over time.
Here are four images that I converted to black and white and selected to post (I have a few more that I will post later). All of these have color photos to match that I will also post some other time.
Aaron, I have done this myself with photo not nearly as nice as yours and discovered that it is lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteGood stuff Aaron! Easy to see you have fell prey to the Spirit of the Wichitas! Happy to see you chose to do a B&W post! Particulary liked the shot of the cedar plantings (parallel forest). Now over a Hundred years old, it was planted in the spring of 1912. Happy to say I wasn't there!
ReplyDeleteI like what you are doing with the B&W!
ReplyDeleteInteresting geometry in the second photo and tThe last two photos have that IR look to them.
I really like the first photo, great lighting and the reflection in the pond is perfect. Definitely a framable picture this one!
I really like the top shot a lot. The other three are nice too but if it were me, I think I would have dropped the highlights out of them just a touch. Like Paul said, they seem to have an IR look to them.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I like the composition on these photos. If you love shooting b/w, you may have to look into the big stopper filter.
