I have really been loving B&W lately, I love the way it concentrates on the basic's and is a flip from the over saturated incorrectly done HDR Stuff that I have seen some photographers try to do. I come from the old school of photography when you get the exposure, composition, color, and saturation all right in the camera when you take the photo. Not just take anything and then go back later and try and fix it in computer programs, and when that doesn't work lets make it HDR and call it my "style"! As a photographer there are uses for HDR it is basically the new Zone system for digital ( the zone system was originally created by ansel adams ). It is intended to be able to capture a higher dynamic range that what is available with just one exposure by taking several over and underexposures and combining them together. This works great with landscape and stationary subjects but not with people. However you can still click a button just like you can do on your phone in an iPhone app and it will make the picture look over saturated and "artsy". This can be a cool "effect" but its not professional photography. Thats why I have been so drawn to B&W because you can't bullshit B&W. It makes you look at lighting and shadows and give a classic look to your pictures one that 10 yrs down the road you will still look at and love rather than 10 yrs down the road looking at a over saturated, overexposed photo and thinking "what was that all about".
I attached a link to my new sample album I created in all B&W. Even though it lacks color each photo or page tells a classic story of a bride & Groom getting married. Something that you will cherish for years and want to show for a lifetime.
