What do you think about black and white photography?

I love it.

Answer 1

B&W can be a true art form, with the play of light and shadow in a monochrome scene.

I love it. Ansel Adams was a master at black and white photography.

Answer 2

I believe that anyone truly interested in photography should start in B&W to learn the Art, I would also recomment taking a class and learn how to develop your own pictures, developing is the other half of the art, pls. do not take your b&w to Wallgreens!
I started myself on a Mamiya c330 twin lens (for those of you that do not know what this camera looks like I'll put a link below) since the 120 film has only 12 to 15 pictures it is a good start.
Getting one of these cameras can be somewhat inexpensive and the quality of the lenses is amazing, they were made some 30 years ago with very high quality materials, designed for the film made 30 years ago, nowadays the quality of the film has grown exponentially and it takes full advantage of those old lenses. I tell you, I use a Nikon d100 for most of my pictures, but I still love to take out my c330 for b&w, even at the highest setting the Nikon doesn't even get close to the quality of the picture taken with the medium format camera.
I can go on forever!
I love B&W

Answer 4

Black and white pictures are very dramatic. They can easily be used to capture a tender moment, such as a bride on her wedding day, or a more traumatic moment like starving children in Africa. B&W photos seem to strip a photo of all the flair a color picture might bring, and it focuses more on the emotion and expression in the photo.

Answer 5

I personaly like Black and White pictures. They look so classic, yet, antique. I love photography, and have noticed that most of my pictures look even more amazing when done in black and white!!

Answer 6

B&W is the way to learn darkroom technic and basic photo formating. Color photos tend to be very hard to balance for newer photograhers. There is too much in the background that can throw the picture off center.
B&W as an art form is fun. Color has a place but requires more work. Each has their place depending what you need to express.

Answer 7

It depends on the photographer and the mood or interpretation he or she wants to send to the viewer.

With that said, some situation will call for black and white while others may call for color. It's really about the emotion the photographer is trying to convey to the audience and to capture that unique essence of the moment.

Answer 8

I love it too.
In particular, I think black and white is the perfect medium for wedding photos. It makes them look timeless (and hides many a poorly chosen bridesmaid color).
I prefer black and white for urban shots, architecture shots, and portraits.

Answer 9

good but often times cheezey. black and white should be used to sho either class (say, a simple black dress) or to get rid of a otherwise disracting background. i think sepia is better for showing emotion, because it seems more vintage and somewhat more distant but yet relatable. and black and white, however, is more like a still life.
