Usually autumn colors in a photo push heavily towards processing in color. I played around with this one with converting to black and white … and emphasizing the yellows and oranges by increasing the highlighting. This was taken along the North Fork Skokomish River trail about 1.5 miles above Staircase Campground in the Olympic National Park. The large trees are Big Leaf Maples, the rest a mixture of alders, willows and other.
I have ridden bikes a lot in my adulthood. I got a Seiki “mountain bike” in the early ’60’s and put several thousand miles on it (although there wasn’t any odometer). Now I ride a Trek ebike and really enjoy the ease of going uphill (my house is at the top of a large hill). There are a lot of bikes to choose from … but find a bike shop you like and become friends. Riding is good for you!
These were both taken in about the same location (within a block or so) … Water Street and downtown Port Townsend. Besides the difference between black and white and color, one view shows a nearly deserted street and the other a busy one. I liked the juxtaposition.
These used trailers made a nice study of lines and shapes.
This is another image that was taken with a roll of film where I thought I had used color and it was B&W. I tried to return and reshoot with a digital camera, but they were moved around and it wasn’t as visually interesting. This is next to the Port Hudson Marina in Port Townsend.
This image was hard for me to get used to. It was shot with a film camera (a Nikon S3 rangefinder) and I had mistakenly loaded a roll of black and white film when I had intended to load color. Imagine my surprise when it came back from the lab. I don’t know for sure if I would have liked it better in color, but it certainly isn’t the way I visualized it.
