Black And White


I seem to be in a bit of a black and white mood lately - some of the images I have already shown in colour I'm finding I like even better in black and white.

The image above was in fact a lovely orange rust, but I prefer the more abstract look of black and white. i think the point is that colour can be a distraction.

I love the rusty colour usually but this image in particular just jumps off the screen in black and white. Taking away the colour leaves you to concentrate on that fabulous texture. I love it.

George, who would be distracted by color? If we are educated, refined viewers, then we consider many compositional elements when looking at photographs. And we must "bring something" to the photo, not simply be looking for pretty pictures.
