At Rest


At Rest, originally uploaded by setev.

Occasionally I find, after reviewing old photos, one that I think deserves a bit of rework or adjustment. Here is one example that received that extra attention. In this case I simply recropped the orginal image and converted it to black and white with a slight blue-grey tint.

I have always liked taking photos of stained glass. Light and colour once again make this shot stand out. Taken in the foyer of the Auckland Museum.

Smaills Beach Dunedin B&W 3

Smaills Beach has been a fertile ground for me so I was curious to see if they would look as good in monochrome as they do in colour. Here is the result with number 3 of 4 in the series.

Black and white photography is not someting I do very often but it still has the ability to make a powerful image in the digital age. In fact I would go as far as saying that when a photographer really wants to make a statement he or she will revert to classic black and white techniques. I don't know what it is but b&w always seems to add legitimacy and gravitas to the phtotgraphic image.
