Photography 101…black and white!

The Daily Post

Our last Photography 101 installment focused on color, so it’s only fitting that today we talk about black and white! If you’ve developed your own film in the darkroom, you know that working with black and white is a fun, rewarding experience. These days, many of you use digital cameras, so we’ll focus here on digital photography.

Over on The Gravel Ghost, photographer Merilee Mitchell wows us with her moody and evocative black and white images and photo stories: she captures vast desert landscapes, particularly in Death Valley and around California. In this post, she talks about her passion for black and white photography — and the power of telling stories in monochrome.

Horizon. The space or line where the sky meets the earth. So many places where the sky meets the earth around the world, and millions of interactions between two elements. It can be water, a city skyline, a forest, a wasteland, a desert, a sunset outside your bedroom window. Is there a particular horizon which speaks to you?

A robin by the path, just an impression of a bird as he blends with the ground the photo is even a little blurred, what a shame, I did so want that photo to come out well!

Sometimes, it happens that what we might call a failure, because we have a certain expectation can in reality be an opportunity to go into something different.  For me the real meaning of ‘Carpe Diem’ is precisely this:  be ready to accept what life offers, here and now!
