Vent: I always passed on black and white shots until a wet sidewalk changed my view
I used to think photos without color were flat and uninteresting. Then one damp morning, I grabbed my old analog kit and snapped a scene of reflections in puddles. When I got the prints back, the contrast and textures blew me away. That single image helped me see how much mood you can build with just shadows and light. Now I reach for black and white rolls all the time for certain scenes. Have you ever been surprised by a style you used to avoid?
