BLACK & WHITE SUNDAY: AFTER AND BEFORE Y1-04
FROM PAULA: On Sundays I normally publish a photo challenge in black and white that I call Black & White Sunday. I usually come up with a fresh theme for it, but once a month I publish a recurrent (monthly) theme: after and before where you are supposed to show the same photo, regardless of the subject, in both monochrome and colour.
This is a way of encouraging you not only to set your camera to black and white setting, but to shoot in colour and to convert it into black and white in post processing. Hopefully you will enjoy this exercise in seeing and editing. After all it is all about fun. Have a beautiful day!

I like both pictures. I don’t know which I prefer, but both came out pretty well.

I agree that both came out pretty nicely. I like seeing snow in black and white and find that edit a bit neater. Sorry I could not log on yesterday. Thank you very much for the lovely entry, Marilyn.

I like the B&W better, probably because of the snow.

Like them both, but the black & white is my favorite!

I think both have their own point to make. That’s nice. Usually one is clearly better than the other.

I prefer the colour photo. It has a glimmer of hope for spring. The black and white feels less hopeful to me.

Usually, I have a strong preference, but not so much this time … maybe because the black & white has a lot of tones in it, so it isn’t solidly black & white … But anyway, all winter, everything here is monochrome.

I think that the monochrome of winter really gets to me after awhile. I long for the green of grass etc.

A lot of the time, snow looks like black & white anyway. THIS time, there’s actual color in the picture. I like them both. I like the tones in the black & white, but I like the juxtaposition of the color and the white snow and yes, it does say “Hey, spring IS coming.”

More dramatic in B&W.
