Imperial Bank Walkway at Night in Color


Here's the same photo as the previous post but in its original color. What do you think: better in color or better in black and white? Post a comment.

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.

Before and After: Two Joshua Tree Photographs, Two Painterly Reworkings

Posted
I want to try something a little different in this post — a working walk-through of how two of my Joshua Tree photographs from April of 2011 became two of my newest painterly artworks on Redbubble. Same compositions, same landscape, same afternoon in the Mojave. Very different final pieces. The Raw Photographs Both photographs were taken on a single afternoon trip to Joshua Tree National Park, shot in Canon raw (.CR2) format on my Canon EOS. Raw files are, as any photographer knows, deliberately flat — they carry the maximum amount of information the sensor recorded, without any of the punchy contrast, saturation, or sharpening that a JPEG would apply automatically in-camera. That flatness is a feature: it gives the photographer the widest possible latitude to make choices in post-processing. But it also means a raw file, straight out of the camera, doesn't look like the scene the eye remembers. It looks like the scene the sensor saw, drained of atmosphere. Here are the two r...

Young at Heart: The Active Seniors Collection + Massive Redbubble Sale!

Posted
Ollie Grandpa Stepping into the freedom of retirement after a long, 45-year career completely shifts your perspective. You finally have the time to let loose, hit the road, and truly embrace the fun side of life! That joyful, unrestrained energy is exactly what I wanted to capture in my newest Redbubble collection. I'm so excited to introduce my new " Active Seniors " series, featuring designs that perfectly embody the "young at heart" spirit.

These make fantastic graphic tees, travel mugs, or stickers for your own "Fa...
