Although the universe is ablaze with more colours than the human eye can detect, we can also learn to see the world in new ways by returning to the roots of the art of photography, to the art of black and white, and other monochromes like sepia (and bi-level). This photo blog celebrates that spectrum of colours ranging from the darkest monochromes to the most brilliant whites, and everything in between.

You know what, this shot -- shooting past the nearby open doors toward this distant complexity of the machinery -- is backwards (he says in his most opinionated fashion). The brightest, biggest part of the picture his of course the open sections of wall; our eyes overwhelmed by these, we barely see the intricate and interesting (but small and dark) machine sitting in the corner.
If you can get access again, take a very wide angle lens, stand near the machinery so all its complexity fills up your whole foreground, and THEN let those bright open panels over their be your background.
I shot and processed this, pushing the darks to blacks, thinking solely of the reflections as they merged into the real. At the time, I regretted ever going digital because I imagined that mid-sized film could give more exposure values. HRD might be artificial by comparison, but this shot seems to call for that type of help.
