hey richard, my name is alex.. i am an art student in grand rapids, michigan. i recently used this tree picture as an overlay layer in photoshop for a poster design. is that ok with you? i don’t really have any way of crediting you on the actual poster, but i wanted to let you know… if its a big deal i can certainly take it away and use something else, it just fit perfectly with what i was trying to do.

thanks!!

Don’t you wish there were some ominous clouds here to give it that extra eerie feel? If only we could change the weather to meet our photography needs =)

We’ve just taken lots of shots of our newborn baby in black & white, it’s so much more striking than colour. Everyone who has seen the photos always pick out the black and white ones as their favourite! Great images, keep up the good work!

I don’t pick black and white just to be hip; the photo has to look better to my eye without color. Often it does, usually when there’s a lot of contrast and shadows like this. As long as all the photographers do that, black and white photos will be around forever!

Another nice thing is that you don’t have to deal with white balance, grain seems more acceptable in black and white, and color calibration, colorspaces, soft-proofing, and profiling become simpler.

Nice picture! Black and white pictures are becoming a lot more popular these days.. My friend got married last year and she wanted a lot of black and white pictures of the day! The tree does look a bit scary though! Who would have thought that black and white would eventually come back into fashion?
