Although humans see reality in colour, for me, black and white has always been connected to the image’s deeper truth, to its most hidden meaning.

I have come to love monochrome almost as much as colour. I think mostly because you are more free to create another mood in the picture and to enhance features you would like to dominate. Thank you, Anne, for this interesting theme.
I believe details become clearer, and you can easier rest your eyes on a monochrome image.
There is of course another difference if and how you frame your picture…
…and if you go closer or keep a distance to your object.
You decide, depending on what your goal is with your image.
Some images I just love to have fun with in B&W – making them into abstracts…
– here are some favourites from the kite festival at Fanö, Denmark.
I use NIK Silver Efex for my B&W and monochromes. The option ”yellowed” in NIK is a favourite of mine. So is this crow, contemplating the waves, sitting on an abandoned jetty.
I don’t see the world completely in black and white. Sometimes I do.
