Black and Whites

Wednesday, December 15, 2010
Here are a few recent black and white photos. Sometimes photos just look better in black and white. I think that color can sometimes get in the way of the compositional aspect of the photograph. I'm finding myself converting more and more of my photos to black and white.

Somewhere on the Blue Ridge Parkway between Roanoke and the North Carolina state line.

The road up to Mill Mountain in Roanoke.

Downtown Roanoke from the Mill Mountain overlook (I know this isn't a true black and white, but I thought leaving the view of the city in color allowed you to see more detail since it's such a small part of the photograph).

A pedestrian bridge connecting the downtown greenway to a new section not open yet.
