playing around with black and white photography.
I’ve been reading about what makes a good black and white photograph. I’m finding it difficult to get my head around. But I’m happy with this.
I like it geometric feel. The bird was kind enough to pose at exactly the right angle. I like the different shades on the pipes and I love the flair of white on the beak and tail of the bird.
I could have rotated the photo to make the cross pipe exactly horizontal, but I like the slight angle leading the eye up to the bird.
In colour the same shot.
This guy couldn’t resist posing for me. He’s a very different character. I just love him.
I like him in black and white too.

Did you try increasing the contrast. Maybe lighter lights and darker darks would make it ‘sing’ more. Maybe not. Personal preferences here.

Mmm. I’m still learning. I think you’re right.
