I prefer it in colour, the lights stand out more and i think that is good in night time photography.
The colour image has a warm glow to it, the lighting is really good. I personally feel you miss alot of this when looking at the black and white photograph.

i stumbled upon your blog while doing a search. i just had to share my two cents. each photo lends a different feel, though i'm drawn to the color one, as it's much warmer and seemingly, more life-like, if that makes any sense. the b/w seems like a study in lines and shadows, where as this one actually has a warm vibe to it. very very beautiful work.

Do Not Disconnect - The Real Digital Divide

Posted
The fly in the ointment, Opito Bay, around 2007. This post was originally published in November, 2007. Almost two decades on, the photograph and the argument both feel — if anything — more relevant than they did then. I have updated this post lightly in May, 2026, some 19 years later! The Photograph I was on holiday in Opito Bay on New Zealand's Coromandel Peninsula, sitting on the couch in the place we were staying at. A friend's iPod was resting on the coffee table, on top of a copy of The Economist from March 2005, whose cover story happened to be titled "The Real Digital Divide." A fly landed on the iPod's click wheel and stayed there. I reached for my camera, took the shot, and edited it later in Photoshop to give it the grungy, oversaturated look you see above.

Anza-Borrego Wildflowers

Posted
Anza Borrego Desert State Park California Wildflowers This cluster of wildflowers is typical of the flowers in Plum Canyon in Anza-Borrego Desert this spring. Because of the dry and harsh environment, most of the flowers are tiny like the three in this photo. But what they lack in size, they make up for in color. It's pretty difficult to try and identify all these flowers, but I'm pretty sure the white one is Desert Pincushion. Help out if you can. I've been using the CalFlora.org website to try and identify the flowers in this series.
