Time has not allowed me to go out to take more photos so I have to make do with some ”left-overs” from last time. This means I am not too happy about these. But as this creative journey partly for me is to learn to try and experiment and fail – this entry is an exersice in that. The theme of Jen’s and my tree project this week, is a continuation of last week’s texture theme. This time texture in black and white.
I like black and white photos. Just the fact that they are black and white can make a boring image a little less boring. But it is still not enough to take away the boring completely out of the photo. So why not take this opportunity to just play around a bit?
First some regular photos. Black and white photos are good for a graphic effect to display the pattern of the bare twigs and branches I think. Just wish I had time to go out again to try to do it a bit more interesting. But, this is it for now.
Now let’s play. Here I took one of the photos above and put it together with another photo, previously posted on the blog. I thought the pattern of the trees in this photo could be a nice pattern to mix with another photo… well. I tried. I played. I had fun. 🙂 That’s the main point of this project of ours after all! 🙂
Don’t forget to check out Jen’s photos in her blog. I bet she rocks this theme as she did the last one!
LOVE the 3rd photo from the top- the b/w really highlights the texture of all those branches against the sky. I also really like the one with the wooden pathway going through the trees. The tangled mess of branches is a great contrast to the smoothness of the snow covered path (bridge?). I think taking colour out of the photo equation is a great way to play with texture, because it highlights line, shape…shadow and light. xx

My favourite too! In fact, the third photo and the ”bridge” photo were actually taken with black and white in mind, but still I wish I could have done something ”more” with them. Oh well, I am learning! 🙂

I got to agree with Marie and Jen your technic is unique and interesting most say inspiring too. My weekend is going to be all about black&white and shadows/light.
