Black and White vs Color

[Wendie]

We are in a color focused world but there is something about the purity of black and white photography that hits a chord with me. It's more real somehow. Anyone else feel that way?

There are subjects and concepts that are best taken in full color, and there are also those that are better if taken in black and white. Subjects that are more profound and deep are best in black and white.

I agree with you. Not all subjects and photo concepts are good in black and white. You have to choose carefully. Shots that are fun and funky ought to be taken in full color. Subjects that are stationary and whose form you want to emphasize can be great in B&W.

I'm also of the same opinion as Satyr. Black and white best fits subjects that are deep and profound.

Black and white is good colour but for the sake of this era where people want real things, colour is better off unless black and white is a provision. It makes the whole thing dull to enjoy.

I have some black and white pictures. They appear to be funny. They're classical pictures, I like them.

Things have changed and now we have colored ones dominating.

It all depends on your taste and style if you love color you go for the colored, if not go for the white and black. Things are changing and so are we we tend to go for something that we will enjoy and that is the colored, the black and white seems to make everything dull and you won't enjoy anything.

Some photo shots in black and white appear to be so pleasant! I didn't know until I had one. They are nice and funny.

I agree.

I did not realize how magical black and white pictures could be, till my sister and I took a couple of them recently. I even took print outs of the same and stuck them on my bedroom wall. It was a revelation; I didn’t know I heard a soft spot for black and white pictures. Maybe it’s because I got used to colored pictures. I guess that purity you feel is what I felt.

Black and white photos depict time in them,thats why flash backs are ever presented in black and white.
