Through the Trees

 In looking for photographs, I often search for a couple of fairly large areas that can be balanced against each other. In Portland this winter, I'm finding that one of these areas may be the branches of a sparse-leafed tree. Here are two examples.

Color vs B&W

 I thought it might be interesting to compare one of the B&W pictures from yesterday's post with its color original. Conversion in Adobe Lightroom.

I think I like the monochrome version better.

Street Photography

 Street photography is traditionally done in black and white. I thought I would give it a try while wandering around Portland a couple of weeks ago.
