Reasons to go black-and-white: always the same!
For this week of #Photofeed #portrait challenge I pulled from my roaster three portraits I took this summer and tinkered with the source files in Photoshop. (Thats my favourite sort of meditation!)
A few black-and-white conversions took me for as much as 15 minutes. Intresting to examine which version of the photo I prefer eventually -- after the job was done.
Guess the color one looks more rich and more attractive... at least for me personally. What will you say, which one you'd prefer?
Color one...
...and monochrome.
Well, this case was pretty easy to decide: no splendid color contrasts, everything pretty grey and shady - thus, I almost automatically jumped on the monochrome option here. It is quite contrast, detailed and convincing.
A young cyclist that posed me at the local velodrome. Colour version featured a lot of green and red tones that provided some great contrast to the black-and-white version. (Conversion done manually in Photoshop).
Thats why here I cant tell which version looks more sympatico! Both work pretty well and convincing.

Интересно, а ты специально поставил велосипедиста рядом с мусорной кучей? Или просто подом с фото не убрал его?
И, ваще.... что делает мусор на велодроме?
по поводу лучше или хуже... Мои дети не признают чб фото и фильмы от слова совсем....
Я бы первого чувака выбрал таки чб.
Хорошее замечание. Не, не специально, он вообще сам себя поставил. мусор лежал возле стенки, там рядом конец пространства. А мусорных бачков тама нету от слова совсем. Вот детки и кидают бутылки-обертки там где покушали. КОгда фоткал я не заметил, а потом - думаю что так даже интереснее.
Дети - ну, может быть, дозреют до ч-б потом, когда-нибудь. Гарантировать невозможно. Интересно будет узнать, когда это случится, да.

У самого такое бывает часто во время всяких путешествий, всё быстро, бегом. Потом просматриваешь дома и думаешь - ёёёё, а что же я такое наклацал. :( ну и "подгоняешь".
дозреют... уж всем кроме пладшей за 30 перевалило. Старшему нынче 38.... сам удивляюсь.
А вот старшая внучка любит ч/б... Она часто фотки даже выкладывает свои в тёмных тонах

They are both quite good, the B&W photos give almost the same detail. I lean towards colour as I like colour fotos the best!
