A quick trip into the Bamboo Forest this afternoon for a landscape shot. It had been a mostly cloudy gray day until then and that does not produce very good B&W photos. The sun came out just in time for this one
The contrasts on this photo are wonderful. And, since I am a sucker for bare trees/branches, I absolutely love that lone guy being the main character in this photo. An in case you’re interested, hers the path my eyes took… fist that lovely naked tree, then the skinny “trunks” took them to the left, then the lightness of the logs in the water brought my eyes to them, then up to the top right to the light colored branches. I wonder if anyone else’s eyes took this same path?
This is very nice katy, I like the contrast of the blacks & white. It is funny when I photograph outside I often hope for cloudy days since the sky's look more dramatic (sometimes).
