When I shot this, it was such a gloomy day in Washington State, a few hours outside Seattle. I shot colour, but I might as well have used black and white. It raises the question, does black and white have a place in landscape photography? Shouldn’t all landscapes be about...
Here is an idea I’ve started to adapt with my photography. Finding a new focus point to make certain images more interesting. It occurred to me on a recent trip into London while I was taking photos of Tower Bridge that, my photo would be the same as many others....
