Swamp in B&W
 

At the suggestion of someone on another forum, I decided to have another go at these pics in b&w. I'm a bit better at the conversions now than I was when I first took these shots (over 2 days standing out in that swamp), and I'm pleased with the look now.

It was the textures of the grass that drew me to this location in the first place. I think it works well in b&w.

Stunning photos, Bruce. Simply amazing!!! Thanks for posting these - its amazing how much detail is brought out in B&W photos. Ansel Adams' work is a great example. :thumbsup: :cheers: :cheers:

Thank you. Agree too. Ansel Adams was my hero when I first started photography, but I reckon I'm not alone with that hero!

Great pictures Bruce still plenty of life in monochrome.

Thanks Steve and Padi!

Beautiful pics, Bruce....but reading your thread title, I thought you'd gone and bought a new BMW and entered a swamp with it!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :offtopic: :banme:

I won't even bother to comment on the BKL's post. Just another example of wasted space. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

But those B&W's are beautiful, Bruce. Monochrome is often more expressive than color IMO. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thank you Ed. I wouldn't bother commenting on it either :chuckle:
Cheers,
Bruce

Great pics Bruce :thumbsup:
