Black & White Redux

Picture
Some time ago I did some black and white photos in high resolution that I was going to use as masters for screen printing images. The images were converted to line drawings and then became useful for making silk screens . As I was looking through them again I was surprised to see that the B & W had considerably more detail than the same photo in color. Although both images were digital, the color failed to reveal the depth and impact that B & W had. Neither had the latitude that real film has but they are pretty good.
The subject is a bridge  over a river near my home that has had a bridge over it for over two hundred years. This bridge is perhaps a hundred years or so old. The reason I wanted to post this photo is to suggest that when you take photos, consider taking some in B & W. Of course color photos can be edited and converted to B & W but the detail is really watered down. I live in a great old New England town with a lot of history so I will post others in B & W at another time. Smile...
