Displaying images in Black and White really brings out the contrast in images. Through Black and White you can highlight tone, sharpness, emotions and comparisons in your subject matter.
Many people have taken B&W images of people, Ansel Adams inspired me through his photographs of Yosemite and you can really see the dramatic aspect of disaplying images in B&W.
The key for B&W images is light. How does it effect the shapes, angles and textures.
I would recommend shooting in colour if using a digital camera and then converting back on the computer.
- Opera House, Sydney
Taken from the Harbour Bridge with a tele-photo lens the light cuts terrific sharp edges to the sails. The light also shows off the tile pattern adding texture to the image. - Observatory Hill, Sydney
Looking away from the Harbour Bridge the grand trees silhouette well against the afternoon sky. - Circular Quay, Sydney
The buskers around Circular Quay are an everyday occurrence. The light hit the musicians face just as he looked up into the sky
