I’m a big fan of negative space. This one has plenty of it but with some texture. I’m also a fan of repeating ideas in photography. It’s like visual rhythm, something I can relate to as a percussionist.
I’m still in the process of editing and organizing all the photos I took in DC but I wanted to post this one. I decided to take advantage of the cloudy day and make this photo a little more dramatic then it was originally. I used Nik’s HDR software to do some tone compression and make it black and white. I think it’s pretty cool.
So, shortly after I uploaded that last image, I was checking my email and saw I received an email form Nik Software about my copy of Silver Effects Pro 2. I downloaded it and tried it out with the park bench photo. I love that software. I think I like this photo better in Black and White.
There’s something about railroad tracks and B&W photos….they just go well together.
Another photo that ended up looking better in Black and White. I was actually going to trash this one but decided to see how it looked in B&W.
It’s funny how a photo I really didn’t think was all that great looks so much better to me in Black and White.
