Tall grass and trees... by marlboromaam

Tall grass and trees...

Not a clever title and not a creative shot. LOL! It's what I got for today.

Shot in black and white mode - NO conversion.

Sometimes you just have to call it as you see it! I love grass especially the way it contrasts against the trees! Nicely done!

I never thought but if the grass was pale and had lots of light on it, it would appear white if it was B&W! This is what I think is especially good in this photo!

@sugarmuser Thank you so much, Sharon!

@maggiemae Thank you, Maggiemae! It is much easier to see the contrast when you shoot in black and white mode vs. color, so you know what you're getting instead of guessing what it might look like converted.

Nothing like black and white for crystalising tonal values.
Great shot.

can't argue with that. nice shot!!! When does work start??
August 9th, 2012  
Very beautiful indeed, Maggie. It does look crisper than if it were converted.

Beautiful Maggie, I love them whisps of grass on the b/w background FAV
August 9th, 2012  
Nice composition!

The grass almost looks as if it has been inverted. Nicely done, lady!

Great contrast, Maggie!

Ok, love the b&w with this. I need to be braver and try the b&w more often.
August 9th, 2012  
I love the abstract appearance of the grass in the B&W.
August 9th, 2012  
Great contrast between the dark background and the light hitting the grass! Great shot!!

Wow, you learn so much when you shoot in black and white. So very interesting.

Actually I think this is one of the best b & w shots you have done. I must be weird or something. But I love the contrast between the tall grasses and the darkness of the trees in the background. Also as I see it the composition is great with the branch at the top left and the grass highlighting the whole scene. It looks like you had to lie flat on the ground to get this shot. I love it and giving it a fav.

@yonnie We were not allowed to shoot color in my college photog classes until we had completed three other classes in black and white. There may be a reason for the madness! LOL!

@cimes1 Thank you so very much for your kind and lovely comments, Carole! It is a high contrasty kind of shot. Maybe that's just a style of black and white you like? Really appreciate your fav, gal! So sweet of you! The grass is pampus grass, so I didn't have to lie down. I just stooped a little to get the best angle on the trees in the background.

Nive b&w
August 9th, 2012  
But perspective and composition are lovely, not to mention the b&w.
