Color vs. Black and White


One of the things as a photographer, you look for ways to make an image be more captivating or intriguing. A very common way to do that is going back to the tried and true black and white image.

Sometimes, particularly with nature or outdoor photography, the colors just don't grab you, and the image has more contrast than eye-catching color to it. Such is the image above. This was taken at the Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary while walking across the bridge. The color of the foliage around the dock doesn't draw you into the image. The dock is the central object of attention and looks much better as a Black and White image.


What do you think? Send me your comments, I'd love to hear them.
