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!
