B&W Photo challenge

 

 

Black and White Berlin Style

 

 

 Going around Southampton and taking photos was really fun especially trying to find something that interest you and will look like something from the 1930s Berlin era. I like how taking simple photos and making them look extraordinary simply by changing the colour to black and white.

 

The photos below is a mixture of 5 images I found around Southampton which interested me because they were simple day to day experiences but seeing them in black and white made them look unique.

The bottom photo is my favourite the one with the overgrown lamppost. It really stood out to me as it was the only lamp post that had been left and plants had started to overgrow. It had been completely left out and there were no other lamppost near by.

 

Making Comparisons

 

Below is an image of 1930s Berlin and I love it. It looks so old and you real get a feel to what it was like during that era. The first thing that jumped out t me about the image is the building. The structure of the building is unique it has so much detail. Even the windows have lots of detail. There spires coming off it and different coloured bricks it is beautiful. It seems such a simple image but behind this image there was a lot going on in Berlin during this era. Comparing this image and this era to the images I took there's a lot different but the fact that some simple images by making them black and white can make them stand out even more.

My 5 photo challenge

 

 

 

 

Below are the 5 photos from the B&W  challenge. I chose most of the images because I took them at night. I found at night that it seemed a different world with different lighting. Every light stood out and my favourite part of the day is the night time.
