For me, looking through the viewfinder is looking into a magical world. In a world without color, in a world dominated by light, shadow and gray tones. Into the magical world of black and white photography. Black and white photography focuses on the essentials. It highlights the beauty of the subject. It stimulates the viewer’s imagination. A black and white photograph sometimes expresses more than 1000 words can describe.
Seasonal snow is an important part of Earth’s climate system. Snow cover helps regulate the temperature of the Earth’s surface, and once that snow melts, the water helps fill rivers and reservoirs in many regions of the world. On such a large scale, snow cover helps regulate the exchange of heat between Earth’s surface and the atmosphere, or the Earth’s energy balance.
This was an exercise on the topic of bokeh and how to fit it with the subject within the frame. On the photo is my favorite camera, a wooden pinhole large format camera – “camera obscura” – Zero Image. I hope to shoot again using negatives and develop black and white films soon.
