The Glories of Black and White

I have started to enjoy working in Black & White recently, and it has spurred old feelings that I had long forgotten!!  The simplicity of line and form and the use of tones to accentuate the subject.  It’s truly a wonderful feeling to rediscover this art form.  I have long believed that the best images we make are those things that touch our souls as visual artists.  Light and tone are everything to Black & White.  Subtle tones and sometimes strongly contrasting tones all tell the story.  I think what appeals so much to me about Black & White is that it does not have color to rescue it, it must be compelling without color to draw your attention, like the image below.

 

Every form of capturing life on a sensor are equally breathtaking, no I didn’t say these images are breathtaking, but for the eye, that looks through viewfinder, photography is breathtaking!  After thanking God for His love, the sacrifice of His Son for me, for sending me Sherelene and my wonderful family, and the countless friends, and brothers and sisters in Christ, I thank Him for giving me this wonderful way of expressing my joy.  Life is a blessing, and for us that try to capture it with a camera, the joy is even greateer whether it’s color or Black & White!

    Ashley from South Africa, September 7, 2012 at 9:21 PM Its location. Having close ptoximiry to Salo for shopping was helpful. This has to be one of the most beautiful holiday destinations in the world. Cable car and mountain top experience is hard to beat and rates easily with Table Mountain Capetown (maybe even better). Pristine lake ideal for summer swimming. All destinations on the carry vibe and beauty. This is Italys best kept secret. The apartment we stayed in was spacious and very well equipped. We had spectacular views of lake and surrounding area. The breakfasts were incredible and well presented. The staff were amazing and very helpful. They made a plan for anything and everything and their advice on where to go was spot on!
