Absent of Color Photography

Black and White Photography

ecently, seeing life through the lens of my camera ha

Recently, seeing life through the lens of my camera has really changed the way I see the world. I have grown to love the rich, deep colors of the world and have started incorporating them into my regular life. Don't get me wrong, I am an artist so of course I love color, but colors have changed a lot for me recently or should I say I have changed the way I see color today? I hated to call this page "Absent of Color" because although black and white are not considered colors I have always considered them to be. Black and white photography has amazed me lately. Although I love my photography with the rich colors, I also really love the black and white shots. I love how the white seems to shine sometimes. I love how the black and white adds an age effect to the photos, yet a rich crispness also.

The Nikon D3100 camera does not have a mode to switch to take straight out black and white photos, but it does have a way to take one of your color photos and turn it black and white, I am sure many of you already know how to do this, but it is something I just learned so I will it with you in a minute. Also, another way to turn a colored picture black and white can be done in photoshop which I will also post in a minute. Read more at www.squidoo.com

Black and White Photography

Black and White Rose Print by WhiteOaksPhotos

I have 100% fell in love with doing Black and White Photography. There is something about the uniqueness it adds to the photo, but its something more that I cannot really explain.  There are a few of my personal favorites, I hope you like them.  If you would like, comments are welcomed and appreciated.  

Dogwood Blossom by Eva Thomas

Dogwood Blossoms are among my favorite flower to photo.  I love the richness of the blossoms and especially in a Black and White photo.

Black and White Elder Mill Covered Bridge

Covered Bridges fascinate me.  This bridge is located in Watkinsville, Georgia and is one of four that I have photographed so far.  I have set a goal to take as many photos as possible of different covered bridges in different locations.

Black and White Dandelion Puff

Often when I am out shooting photos, I see small things that captures my attention.  This happens to be the result of that.  These little dandelion puff balls are a childhood favorite.  Remember:  All you have to do is make a wish!!

Old Studebaker Truck

WHO does not love old classic automobiles?  This truck would be a dream come true for my husband and I.  I can see us driving it!!

Opened Black and White Rose

What else can you say about a rose?  They are not my favorite flower, but they are becoming one I love photograph!
