Album Description:

A world without colour, yet so impressive! As beautiful as colour is, oftentimes it distracts. Take out the colour and out pop some interstingly simple values in a picture. My first attempt at B&W since I got a little B&W Kodak instamatic 38 years ago

  • Hi, Yes! I also learned my craft with B&W, developing and printing pictures in smelly darkrooms many moons ago. I especially like “Bridge over troubled waters” and “Symmetry in motion” (note spelling). Going to imitate (flatter) you soon with a album without color soon. Thanks for the idea.

  • Hi Marita, thanks for the invitation. I like your album. In some cases B&W makes pictures look better and this is the case with your pictures. The various shapes in the scenes are more emphasizes. You really did a very good job in this album. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. Thanks also for visiting my Masks album and for your kind words. As for Orly's comment, I hope you do not agree with her since she was a bit angry about me... Wishing you a wonderful week, Yair.

  • Hi Marita, to be brutaly frank I love it, you must have hunted through dozens of pics to find exactly the right ones to put in this album, when travelling the world, famous buildings are usualy stowed away for a holiday reminder, but turn them into art like this is wonderful. A brilliant album and one I am sure will go far, I like you have been lucky enough to travel the world and I think that it makes you appreciate your home land all the more. thankyou for the GB and the kind words, and if you can spare a min have a look at the additions to my Spring 2006 album all taken with my new camera, good to hear from you hugs and may the spirits be with you Ken

  • Quite the most spectacular work I have seen in black and white - I am left quite speechless. You are well endowed with talent behind the eye piece of a camera! A magnificent album of art - keep them coming (eagerly awaiting Faul's competitive determination... LOL!) Best wishes, Sue in SA (the part that isn't greener!)

  • Dear Marita, This is a GRAND album. What a collection! I think this photos wouldn't really be so spectacular in color, you are absolutely right. White and black, and all intermedium tones are really great when well used. It is almost impossible to choose favorites, but I have some preference for photos #1(really deserving being the cover of the album), 13, 22 ( I think I'm recognizing there the bridge Alexandre III in Paris, I love it!), 23, photo 47 I think is next to the Music Conservatory in Paris, isn't it? I have already seen those striped things ... I think I have recognize many parisian photos, no wonder, is soooo beautiful :) I loved also photo Rhapsody in White, it is lovely and that beautiful photo 61 with that magnificent pending clock is absolutely breathtaking. God, You are GREAT! I am with my soul quite washed seeing so much beauty. Thanks so much for inviting me to see it! I finally have uploaded all the photos in My Country album. As when you visited it it had only a few photos i really would like you to see now, even because from photo 54 on ahead there are some things you may like:) not all, of course! search more to the end... it was a really pleasure this visit. Tomorrow I'm going for a stroll where I may take some good shots, but the weather is a little stormy we'll see... A big hug and keep shooting and showing us:) Rosa

  • Hey Marita :o) Thanks for the invite, your album is quite good! I think you definitely have a great eye for composition and perspective. If I may ask, how did you make these pics b&w? I ask because I've experimented a little bit and found that simply desaturating to 0 in, say, Photoshop, makes b&w too flat and often not satisfying to me. Usually applying a red filter (e.g.) does wondes for sky (but you need clouds in it). Also, some pics are tilted and that's easily correctible in Photoshop again (unless it was your intention to tilt them, as that works qute well in the "beholder" shot, but I don't think it serves well the "arch" shot) Ciao! Roberto

    said  of rodemicheli rodemicheli 2006.03.20 at 02:09:32 PST

  • Marita, you can find Photoshop Elements 4 for less the 50 $$$ on eBay (legitimate) and it lets you adjust tilted pics and do a much better b&w rendition (even if for the best results you'll need the CS2, which costs at least 10 times more...) Ciao! :o) Roberto

It really does focus they eye more on the various lines and it does bring out the essence of what makes a good photo - namely light and shadow. Hope this one get featured! Marlis in Alberta

  • Hallo Marita, ich glaube so gute b&w Fotos habe ich noch nicht gesehen, am besten gefällt mir wohl "Spiraling", aber alle sind schön und einzigartig... Das mit dem "weißen Strand" denken viele, auch die das Originalfoto (aufgenommen mit Canon T70, ist also gescannt) in den Händen halten, aber bei schönem Wetter kann es dort so aussehen. So einen Strand habe ich aber bisher nur auf Sylt in Deutschland gesehen. In Düsseldorf habe ich übrigens während ich studiert habe auch mal gewohnt und bin auch heute noch oft dort. Es fällt mir leichter in Deutsch zu schreiben, darum fallen meine englischen Gästebucheinträge meist sehr kurz aus! Schöne Grüße von Uwe.

  • Hi Marita - just HAD to come back to this one - it does something every time! Many thanks for your GB entry in my Cat album - unfortunately, Max belongs to... the unfortunately part... my boss! One of those things in life sent to try us... LOL! Guess I'm the saved and lucky one - haven't had anything from Faul...! We'll keep working at it and see if he next sends me the dirty... :-) Not sure if I mentioned that Banshee's Tribute album's prize shot, as soon as I get it back from the framers, is a water colour portrait of him that my mother has done (she is a well known artist who has had work used for charity items in the past 30-35 years now). Will be in touch again soon. btw feel free to e-mail me - my address is sbirkhead@mweb.co.za. Thanks again for the great entry. Look forward to being in touch again soon. Another btw - is it ok if I download all of these to use as a screensaver? Far too good to be stuck in an album on a site that entails all it takes to have to view them! Hugs, Sue

And, besides, it is about some places I love so much. This is a real masterpiece and I think I will need to see it once a while. Thank you so much for your supporting words in my album about blood donations. I really appreciated it because I had some doubts about putting it or not, but I think that I absolutely needed to do it. It is necessary that people knows how her donations are precious and so much needed. I only wish my english was better, for entering easily on peoples hearts. Thank you so much, my dear friend. A big hug for you, Rosa

The subjects taken sometimes under an archway, forms, lines, architecture details, global sceneries, etc. You are a great photographer. Keep on clicking. I wish that ws would feature b/w albums once in a while. Take care, Yan/Ottawa :)

  • Hi Marita! Such a remarkable beginning!! You are quite right about color distracting from a shot. The striking imagery here is proof of that!! I have always wanted to try b&w but with poor eyesight, color is ‘how’ I see. My husband always freaks out because he knows I can’t see but yet I am able to point things out at great distances – only because of the color of the object differentiating it from its surroundings. So alas, I fear I will never truly appreciate a scene without color when I am present in it. But what’s the saying – never say never? Still, I long to do b&w. We did survive the recent storms and only suffered from golfball sized hail stones. I’m waiting for word from the insurance company to alleviate my fears of roof damage. We were quite lucky that the storms literally formed over us for 10 minutes after passing our home, softball size hail and tornados began wreaking havoc on our state. We feel very fortunate! Take care of that back!! Jeanie

  • I find your B&W album fascinating. B&W is so suitable for the photos presented here. In some it's the composition that is emphasized, like in "Spiraling", in others it's the play of light and shadow – like in "Steel Salad", and then there's the interest and mystery emphasized by the B&W, as in Monumental. Regards, from Einat in Israel

Thanks to Ien I learned about the WS challenge but still I have no idea what it means... anyway, I wish you too good luck! I hope you feel much better by now, that's most important. Take care, Yair.

  • Hi Marita, Don't faint! Haha, I know it has been so long since I have visited you. Your B & W album is very nice, a great variety of photos and so well chosen. I really enjoyed the slideshow. Hope you are still having lots of fun and going many places. Hugs, Candy

  • Hi Marita, it is nice to see that you have been keeping busy despite the injury. I hope that our prayers are being answered. This album is a photographer's delight. BLACK AND WHITES TAKE ME BACK TO MY YOUTH. My dad's hobby was photography, he had all the equipment and the dark room but unfortunately politics took too much of his time. So we, seven kids, made the most of it. We all became pretty good at developing and printing Black & Whites. My photography became dormant for a long while until four years ago. I am making up for lost time. There is a lot to learn and it is never too late. All my best dear friend from Paul in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.

  • Liebe Marita, Das war wieder eine sehr gute Idee von dir, Symetrie und B&W zu kombinieren! Deine Bilder verdienten alle ein Komment (aber auch wir pensionnierte Leute haben meist zu wenig Zeit... :-))) ) Es ist eine Freude, Deine so gut gewählten Themen in B&W zu sehen, wo gewisse Strukturen besser zur Geltung kommen! Auch gibt's den Bildern so eine besondere Stimmung! Wir gratulieren zu diesem reichen Album! herzlich, (Heinz und) Käthi PS Wie geht's Deinem Arm Marita??? Wann kann das cowgirl wieder auf's Pferd???

  • I am running for President of the United States on the Nihilist Party of America ticket. Cast your ballot for me now! For the first time in American history, foreign nationals can vote in a U.S. Presidential election, a long overdue development. Don't miss out on this historic opportunity.
