CWWC: Any which way in black and white
Just four pictures, two from me, two from Garry. I like the way these came out. I think they were born to be black and white.

Look at all those overhead wires in your first photo. The traffic is coming in that one. Great photos Marilyn for the week 😀

Thanks Cee. That downtown Uxbridge picture is the one I liked best. I processed it in color last week. It was okay, but in black & white, much better. I keep rediscovering that “in town” pictures seem to “pop” in black and white. Not equally happy with black & white for “nature” pictures, but for building, roads, town, city streets? Street photography works.

Marilyn, I agree that B&W works better for street scenes than the “nature” scenes. B&w – Film noir in Uxbridge.

Color can get in the way if it’s a busy photo.
For nature landscapes, color usually works best, especially if a lot of trees or bushes and flowers.

I love them yet I always forget to take them. One of my cameras — the Pen F — is designed particularly for black & white. The problem is when I go out to take pictures, I don’t know what I’ll find, so I leave it in color and change them to B&W later. But. Shot initially in B&W, they come out better. Sharper, brighter, stronger edges.
