As promised here is the same photo as yesterday only this time processed in b&w. I feel that this image takes on a more somber and depressing mood when its in black and white. Now instead of looking out into the beautiful fall landscape planning for a day of hiking it seems the viewer is trapped inside looking out at an outside world that seems so far away and bleak. While in reality only a simple pane of glass separates the viewer from the outside world it may as well be a prison cell. Well of least that was my feelings on the drastic change in tone of the b&w and color versions as I was processing these images.
Here is a photo looking through the window of an old lodge that is next to this pond at borderland state park. I spent a long time trying to decide whether this photo looked better in color or black and white. I would process it in b&w then undo then process and I could not decide which was better so I have decided to post both versions and let you guys tell me which is better! Today I will post this color version and tomorrow the black and white version.
I took this photo on Saturday at a state park. It was a beautiful New England fall day and there were lots of people out enjoying the cool fall weather so I was surprised to see this bench with an amazing view empty.
