Week 5: Black and White

- Original -


Converting this photo to black and white gave it more of an old-time photograph feel. When I look at it, the mood it presents in nostalgia or remembrance, like I am looking at tangible memory.  

This version of the black and white photo has better contrast.  I feel like it not only presents a sense of nostalgia or remembrance, but it could also be used as a post-card you find at a gift shop.  The shadows are more distinct and well-defined.  The reflection off the glass building is  not as visible as the first, however it gives the image a darker feel to it.

  1. I definitely prefer the 2nd version. It feels much richer in contrast, has more depth. The first image feel much more flat. Think about how you can create 2 distinct, compelling moods in an image through the b+w conversions...
