Photo of the day June 2017

[kenoh]

Up at Whitelees windfarm last night with the camera for a Summer Solstice sunset walk. Unfortunately the clouds came in and ruined the sunset but still got to play with filters a bit.

I like this composition better but like the feel of the B&W one of the stairs more.

Both are nice but I like the view of the stairs in the B&W photo better but prefer the colour photo if that makes sense; I would think that colour on an overcast day would give it a more interesting feel and let the rich colours pop a little more.

My two cents.

Cheers

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll have a play with them and see if the B&W works better for number two, or if Colour works better for number one!
B&W verses colour is one of the hardest decisions I find in PP.

This one is best in colour though I'm sure. Inside the caves at the same park.

I love clouds at sunset. Well, really at anytime. They make for more interesting photos, IMO. There is is actually a huge group of photographers I know who swap skies like crazy just to put clouds back into photos!

I grew up just down the road in a small village called Thornford - off there this evening! Great shot

You'll know this too: the almshouses at East Coker...

Another one from Hawkstone then. This one in colour.
Not sure which I prefer this or yesterday's B&W.

For me this one came out stronger because more of the texture of the rocks and moss was visible. The b&w version had stronger mood but seemed to lose some detail, maybe to high a contrast. Have you tried a shot where the camera is set lower and it's looking up the walk?

Sadly I didn't. I was with Mrs AFB so shooting time was a little more hurried than if I'd been on my own.

My kids are swimmers. They don't have time in the summer for camps!
