Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Moving Water
There was a time when I thought I might eventually shoot every dam in the valley, but not all of them are accessible to traffic. A lot of mills were built by dams deep in the woods whose only access was by train — or barge. Short of going there by train (there is a train, but it only runs once a week at 5 mph) or canoe, those dams are forgotten. If they had names, they have been lost to time.

Love the B/W shoots the one of Northbridge is that paving that has broken up? I am intrigued by it, where is the water going? Agree with every one else contrast and texture in B/W sublime.

These are spectacular in colour, but black and white are magnificent!

I’ve always liked the dams in black and white. Lots of contrast. White waters, striped falls, black rocks.

That’s what I like about it. The contrast is awesome, more so than colour. I remember the day we got colour film and everyone was so thrilled, not to mention colour tv, it was wow. There’s still a place for black and white! It adds an element of elegance grace contrast.

It really does. The dams are a natural for monochrome.

We have so many of them. I was trying to show as many as I could find. I think I need more 🙂

I live on a river with 46 dams. If you don’t like water, you are living in the wrong place 😀
