I love that you’ve experimented with something new and shared it; black and white photography has a unique style where contrasts are really important. I particularly liked the second photo because of how the textures of the rocks stand out, and the photo of the tree with its massive trunk.
Lighting is very important, and it really brings out the contrasts. They say practice makes perfect, and I’m sure you’ll keep getting better at this. Great work!! Big hug!🤗

Shooting in black and white was a revealing experience. It took more effort in terms of composition and choosing the right subject based on the light conditions and other variables. The second photo that you mentioned is a good example. As you can see, there are dark clouds in the distance but the rocks on the foreground are receiving full sun. This created an interesting effect between light and dark regions, as you also mentioned. It was a fun technical challenge.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. 📸
And I loved the photographs; it's a challenge, especially with the lighting, but it's very interesting. Thanks to you!
