Journey into Black & White

    Winter time is here and I feel winter  tends to bring out the urge to capture  the world in black and white. The bareness calls for a black and white theme in most all that one sees.
     On a recent  photo hike, I capture a good friend and decided during my editing, to make his capture B&W. I really enjoy using  
Nik Silver Effects Pro 2  for my B&W edits. A great program, user friendly and excellent support team. The software does a great job letting one control all aspects of the photograph.

    If your scene is already bland, removing color totally could elevate a boring snapshot to an interesting scene or landscape.  Ask yourself whether the scene before you would look better in color or black-and-white. Perhaps you want to recreate the nostalgia of a bygone era. Black and white photographs have a way of conveying an antique, sentimental feeling that isn't possible in color photographs. I  have been really trying to push myself into doing more 
and more Black and White  photography.  It just gives me that feeling  that the old masters may have felt when shooting with black and white film.
