Meadow

I was trying to capture the haze this day back in September. In the original picture there are many autumn colors but I wanted to try out B&W in this post. To me it is more dramatic this way and I feel like I am several decades back in time.

    Altough I'm very found of Autumn colours, I think this black and white is almost like the "nec ultra plus"!.
    It's very mysterious.

    I agree this looks like an older photo.

    The autumn colors create a nice range of grays.

    I am so glad I found your site. I love the photographs and wait to see a new one often (sounded creepy saying everyday, so I changed it to 'often').

    I love the b&w. You have a great eye for what will look good and convey what you are thinking.

    I love this. Very well done.

    Dramatic is the best description you could have given. It's like a capture in an old movie. Somehow it reminds me of Wuthering Heights.

    Your photo is perfect in B&W. But I'd like to see it in color, too - just to see the fall colors you have in Norway.

    I wish I could grab my book and a cup of tea, spread out a blanket and sit down in this field. Thanks for sharing!

    May be that is why photo art most frequently is made in b&w
    No disturbance made of colors only light in various shades

    Hallo,
    good idea to post a BLACK+WHITE and it is a very interesting fact to use a haze shot. I'm always facinated when haze is coming into my favourite Hadeland place and in 2007 I started to produce some "art-postcards" from haze-shots. may be I cam mail them.
    Waiting for your SWF today.

    Aldeles nydelig,stemninger kan komme bedre fram på s&hv-bilder enn på fargebilder,det ser vi jo her.

    The fog or haze works in this black and white version. Nice shot.

    I love this. I think it's definitely more dramatic in black and white. :-)

    Liker godt s&h bilder. Dette var flott, liker hvordan det fremmer stemningen i bildet, mystikken og evigheten.

    Hmm, jeg tenker - hvis jeg sitter lenge nok og kikker på dette bildet, stille, vil det komme en rev tuslende over sletta der tro?
    Fint.
