I started taking photographs in black and white, I still have a deep love for monochrome. One click on the selection dial on my cameras and they record in b&w. This is really handy when it is what I think best fits the scene, but once in a while, opps, it gets turned by accident, and the hummingbirds of a lifetime are in monchrome.
The photos are still so good. I was very excited to see humming birds up close in Canada.
ReplyDeleteThis was a National Forest Service visitors center, and the most I have ever seen in one place.
DeleteI love when pictures are in black and white. Really shows detail more that you normally wouldn't pick up.
ReplyDeleteThe windmill I likel
DeleteI acknowledge that there are occasions when black and white is probably the best option.
ReplyDeleteOnce in a while.
DeleteThe detail in the hummingbird photos is wonderful in black and white. You can hand color the hummers.
ReplyDeleteWould I ever have the patience to do that?
DeleteI like greyscale in art but the lighting needs to be really sharp to create dark shadows and contrasts.
ReplyDeleteThe birds would have been very colorful. As I recall it was overcast.
DeleteI, too, kind of wish the hummingbirds were in color, but that windmill is perfect for a black-and-white shot. I sometimes find more emotion in black-and-white photography.
ReplyDeleteFascinating birds.
DeleteThose are great hummingbird shots.
ReplyDeleteThank you, there is a feeder here at the condo, a friend of mine spends hours sitting nearby trying to get good shots.
DeleteWhat fun to catch hummingbirds in a few photographs. They move so quickly. I always think of Ansel Adams with black and white photography.
ReplyDeleteA high school friend of mine, Frank, took a workshop in the late 70's led by Ansel Adams. Frank was a amazing photographer, he died a year or so ago waiting for an organ transplant.
DeleteVery nice indeed. That last one is spectacular! 😘
ReplyDeleteEven in B&W.
DeleteI love hummingbirds!
ReplyDeleteThey are fun to watch.
