Yesterday's early morning shots of the marine lake at West Kirby were all in colour but today I have chosen mostly monochrome images of the lake and the Dee Estuary. I loved the rich warm colours in yesterdays pictures but I think the images above show that the scenes work as well in black and white. I hope you agree.
Black and white is a fantastic medium, especially where water is part of the picture. Lighting and contrast are key in black and white photography, that is what brings out textures.
ReplyDeleteI agree, if the lake had been mirror calm (as it is sometimes) the second picture wouldn't have worked so well, the texture of the ripples gives a good effect
