Monochromatic vs. Colored November 17, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , trackbackI love looking at photos but I suck at taking them. For some reason, the black and white photos seem to look better than the colored ones (for me) when it comes to artistic impressions.
vs 
Which looks better?
Don’t talk about the photographer’s technique, I know I suck, hehe.
I still think the black and white photo looks slightly better…
So, I netsurfed. Just thought I might be able to find out why. Luckily, I found an article from a “photo technique” kinda magazine. Click here if you wanna read it. I know all this has nothing to do with triathlons but I looked back at my old posts and they all looked the same, all about tris and it bored me out a bit.
On the other hand, I found a professional photographer’s website that had beautiful, colored pics. I think he gives a strong impact on the “colors”. His name is Pete Turner. I only found his website today, so I’m not quite sure of his background but I really liked the photos. Especially the photo of Times Square(in misc. 1). I felt the coldness in the snow and it felt like the last race of the tri season just ended, into base phase, we go!!
Good luck strengthening your core!!!

I also like the b&w one. It’s moodier and the car driving thru it gives it a focal point. It’s good, Clayton. Keep taking pictures and keep looking at them. You’ll find what you like. I read that magazine.
