  1. Both beautiful..prefer the first one. There’s just something about black and white that makes me want to take note of every bit of the photo. It just draws me in..

    • I prefer the first one myself. The two were taken 26 seconds apart, so there’s a comparison there.

      One of the things I’m learning is that not every photo looks good in B & W, but some look better than in color.

  3. The foreground seems to stand out better in the b&w,… all in all, just more dramatic! Nice shot!

    • I think dramatic is a good word for it. I find myself looking at the B & W much more than the color. I’m having fun with the fog!

  4. The last two posts are eerie…and most hypnotic.

    Fabulous captures!

    • Thanks, Pinhole! Morning fog creates all kinds of things and as I walk through it scenes just pop up and beg to be photographed. And all o the time I’m learning!

    • Thanks Ed! ‘m exploring a new area here. Outside of a very few that I took in the early 80’s, these are the first B & W that I’ve tried in 60 years. I think I’ve been missing out on a lot of opportunities.

  6. Richness of color tones and slightly higher contrast in the second photograph makes more visually interesting photograph to me…what a wonderful times for a photography (morning fog ) in your part of the world…

    • Thanks Robert! While the morning fogs continue, I’m trying to catch what I consider interesting and learn more about photography at the same time. thank goodness for digital or I couldn’t afford the experiments!

      Fog creates lighting effects that can be fascinating and, to me at least, surprising.

  7. What contrasts between the black & white and color. Both are beautiful and captivating, and I really like both equally. 🙂 Great captures, montucky.

    • Thanks Anna! There is quite a contrast, isn’t there! By really scrutinizing both I’m beginning to understand a little more about the effects of light conditions.

  8. This image works extremely well in B & W, But I like the colour version also. Almost monochrome too.
