Happening today - Checking a shipment of "Street Photography of the Wildwoods" books
One of my workshop attendees recently asked me why I sometimes choose to photograph plants in black and white. In part, it’s because I like the challenge. As with a sunset, for example, the colors are striking enough to make even a poorly executed photograph still look pretty good.
So can I still make an interesting photo if I limit myself to gradations of black and white? With the colors drained, I find that the shapes, patterns and forms of the flower or plant come to the fore. And with it, I think, also comes a deeper appreciation of its inherent beauty.
What do you think about black-and-white photography of colorful plants and flowers?
And, as much as I like flowers, I often don’t know their names. Can anyone identify what flower this is?
