For those of you who’ve been reading my blogs, you’ve heard me say that no matter where you live, there’s no shortage of fascinating subjects and compositions. Sometimes they’re literally in our backyards; other times they’re just down the road. The key to finding them is to be receptive and observant. This fall has not…
Peter Kinder - This portfolio proves you’re right about opportunistic shooting. You’ve convinced me to return to B&W. It’s a fascinating challenge. Thanks!
Steve Bennett - Thanks for commenting, Peter. Do I sense a Fuji x100F in your future? If so, great — it packs fabulous optics and electronics in a small, discrete package. I rarely walk out the door without mine, even if I’m carrying other gear. As for B&W, I do love color — when it’s justified. About half the images in this post were in color. The begonia image was all about the reddish/magenta hues and the photos of the parrot screamed (literally!) for color. The majority of my street images that include people are in Black & White. Night shots can go either way for me. B&W is naturally suited to nighttime images. But colors sometimes punctuate the composition and become important spot elements. I’d love to see some of your new work!
Stace - Love the parrot!
