Mike:I don't see BW as a disappointing fallback. it's always been my preference.The scenes you've been putting up seem "generic" rather than "aesthetic." I mean in the sense that the compositions feel more documentary than artistic. Probably you're holding the better pictures back?My coldest morning was, I think, about 18 degrees at Mono Lake. I couldn't feel my fingers to turn the knobs on my 5x7. Winter photography. Looking at those sheds, I probably would have trespassed in and looked for texture studies on the wood siding. Or an old screened/broken glass window.
Very interesting comment!Certainly, I like wood siding. In these photos, though, I've been trying for that subdued, Andrew Wyeth-ey look, with subject matter that, true, is a little bit generic. We'll see.The temperature during my early morning photo at Mono Lake was cold, for sure, but nowhere near 18 degrees, thank goodness!
