I understand what you are saying, John. The photo was taken under very bright LED lighting, from a floor-standing 'flexible' lamp, which is not, of course, the layout's permanent lighting set-up. I hadn't noticed how the black & white version seems to have 'bleached out' the weathering that I did apply to the retaining wall, prior to gluing it in place. The weathering is a bit more noticeable in the colour version, which is also at least twice normal size! Perhaps in future one or two broken bricks might be in order, but the time to undertake anything major has now passed. 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really understood the desire for black and white. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't work every time, though, I'd be the first to admit. It is useful when you are intentionally playing with light and shade composition and repeat patterns, something fairly common in 'against the light' railway photography with tele lenses. Gives a feeling of intenity and/or 'gritty urban reality', down and dirty. But it doesn't quite work if you post-edit a colour shot into black and white, better to expose it in b&w mode if your camera has it. You can't say O.Winston Link and Colin Gifford's stuff isn't good, done on b&w film of course and large format in LInk's case, very different approaches both highly skilled and creative. One wonders what those boys would do with digital cameras! Edited February 13, 2023 by The Johnster 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
