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.

While driving through Yellowstone with my cousin Roy, we stopped to take a breather and enjoy the vistas. I had my 200mm attached (which becomes 300mm allowing for unobtrusive candids) and was viewing landscapes when my left eye caught these young women posing for a shot. I was far enough away to shoot completely unnoticed. The shot had many lighting difficulties, particularly the face second from the left: she was nearly washed out. But once again, Nik software and some trial and error allowed me to rescue what would have been an image with too much contrast. Any suggestions would be welcome!
I have found that some of my most satisfying photos of people show them looking elsewhere or focusing elsewhere. However, whenever amateurs (non-models) are posing, there is usually a sameness in their range of expressions, so I tend to wait until the artificial looks cease and the real personalities emerge. The current style of frames for glasses hides the subject's eyes when viewed from the side. I am hopeful that this style will soon fade away.
I love the expression on the gal second from the left. So peaceful, inner radiant beauty.
