Black & White or Color?

So I took these photos with my Fujifilm (previous posts). I am becoming a really big fan of black & white photographs in many situations. Photos with a lot of different contrast and textures can make much more interesting photographs then if they were to be in color. A tip I would give though, is to try shooting the photograph in color first then shoot it again using black and white setting. I say this because sometimes trying to digitally turn it black and white and really tarnish the photo! Happy black and white photo hunting:)

Art Show

I took these pictures with a Fujifilms X20 12 megapixels camera. These were a few of my favorite photos I took! I used the first (Tunnel) picture to submit to the art show. I ran it through lightroom in order to give it a more sci-fi feel and to crop out some of the distractions. I printed a 8x10 photo and gave it a black matt board and black frame to complete the piece. Overall, it turned out very well!

Winter

Winter is approaching! I am super excited to get some great winter photographs. Winter is my favorite time of the year, especially here in Montana! This winter will hopefully provide some great photographs for me.

I found these pictures on the internet. They remind me a lot of Montana winters!

Trick Photography

I have recently been inspired to try to create some "trick photography" or illusions with photography. Some images like this have inspired to me try my hand at it!

(Picture is from Thechive.com) None of my photographs turn out quite right or as "perfect" as this! Comment with any tips or techniques I may not know about.
