Advertisement Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Hi platypus, Take a look here blowing in the wind.. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pauledell Posted October 19, 2014 Share #2 Posted October 19, 2014 Dee, Poetry in motion. Beautiful colors, lighting, sharpness and bokeh. I'd like to see this in b&w. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted October 19, 2014 Share #3 Posted October 19, 2014 That's just outrageously beautiful. Kind of like an impressionist painting. The little grasshopper (?) must have been getting quite a ride in that blade of grass. Paul--I looked at this in b&w and you're right--it works. But the strong color is also pretty amazing.

Paul Now I'm certainly going to sound pedantic and maybe come across as a control freak, if so apologies in advance. When there is an image that I am going to photograph I pre-visualise the result that I intend to achieve...so the shot can only ever be be either b&w or colour. Though I may take an image using the M9, if it's to be converted to b&w then it was always planned as b&w in my mind....does that make sense? This shot was always going to be in colour and can't be converted to b&w, well not by me anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're so right. fantastic range of greens, converting it to B&W would have strapped the shot from it's essence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee, Certainly you should present this picture the way you visualized it and only you have the right to present it in any other way. By the way, your color version is top of the line. Oh, no apologies needed of course. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shot was always going to be in colour and can't be converted to b&w, well not by me anyway. This makes perfect sense to me. I think a lot of photographers in the digital age do b&w conversions as an afterthought. One of the main reasons I was attracted to, and love shooting with, the Monochrom is that it forces me to think and see in b&w, as I used to do when carrying a film camera loaded with Tri-X.

allamande Posted October 20, 2014 Share #11 Posted October 20, 2014 Dee, This is as gorgeous as it gets. Monet would have painted like this if he was using this medium. I totally agree with your argument regarding color v. BW. What drives me up the walls is when people use color film and then convert to BW Ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypus Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share #12 Posted October 20, 2014 Brent and Ece, Thanks for your support! I feel so strongly about this....some sort of purist hang-up I guess! Some rules are not made to be broken! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
