OMG! What a beautiful set of photos! By putting them into black and white you lend them an air of stateliness that tells the story. It also highlights the detail that you noticed in the first place. All three are unique in composition but in all different ways. It is the confusing sense of scale that I find interesting in the first. The balusters look huge but if I remember right they're pretty small. Also the contrast. I like the offset presentation of symmetry in the second photo. By only showing part I can see the whole light but aren't distracted by it, it enabled those beautiful details pop out! (Ahem..Maintenance Dept?). The last shot is a view of the dome that is certainly NOT the post card shot (but sure would make a nice one)! The framing within the framing is exceptionally impressive. Overall nice deliberate shooting. If you weren't so nice I would be jealous, instead I'll I just sit here and...sigh...Wow!
Like Shannon, I love all these pics & agree that the B&W presentation enhances the stateliness. My favorite is the light fixture - did you catch that those were Tiffany? :) The luminosity is so delicate & the metalwork details really pop. I wish the one bulb hadn't been out! Ah, well. ~Meagan
I am a sucker for B&W photography, so I've been looking at these off and on since you posted them. I'm with Meagan, the one of the light is my favorite, too. The detail is fantastic and I'm positive more prominent than it would have been in a color photo. I kind of like the one bulb being out, though. It seems to tell a little story.
Linda, I agree with our other classmates. The picture of the light fixture blew me away. I really appreciated how the B&W emphasized the details. I doubt that a color photo would have allowed the detail to be as detailed. The positioning of the fixture as framed in the picture was great--I bet many people would have taken the shot with the fixture centered, but you made it much more interesting by what you did.
