Badami in Black and White
As I mentioned before I completed my 5 weeks long,and over 3000 Kms Deccan journey on my ever dependable Apache bike. I shot thousands of snaps and I was lucky to get some dozen odd good shots. That's how it works - you keep shooting till you get better..
I came home and sat down to the excruciatingly slow and painful task of editing,deleting,processing those thousands of snaps..
While experimenting I realized some of the pictures look better in Black and White..
I know B & W snaps are out of fashion these days..but IMHO certain snaps need that extra B & W effect to add depth,character and texture to them..
Of course if your composition's main theme and focus is on Colors then you shouldn't consider the B & W treatment to it..
Like the one above - the landscape in color looks stunning with myriad of tones and hues spread all over...but I stuck to this version.
And you could play around by adding some tint to the snaps..
Even some interior shots look better in B & W..
and some become positively psychedelic when given the B & W treatment...
Even people shots looks more interesting..
and one can infuse drama into a landscape..
and you can play around with the dark and light elements in the snap..
So what do you think? Should one give the good ol' B & W treatment to photographs?
