A matter of choice and taste – Episode 2
If you visit my blog – like I hope you do or from now start to do – you must have recognized my ‘old’ love for monochrome. When I started this hobby, mono was fashionable and a standard for news photography. And it was cheaper. In this series I offer you two versions of a photo. And you can prefer one over the other, or not.
This week’s theme is ‘Time to relax’. On a bicycle ride through fields where soon bulb flowers will pop up, together with other cyclists. On the color version you can see the deep purple of early hyacinths. With Some yellow late Daffodils.

Chris, I love black and white and I love these images. But, after seeing the color versions, it would be a difficult decision to say I favor one over the other. The B&W is certainly more moody, telling a different story than the color version.

That is exactly why i prefer in some cases mono over color. But that is a question of taste, indeed. For showing the flowers the color is more suited, if you prefer the mood the mono is preferable.
