I was walking around downtown yesterday, and captured these photos. Honestly, I'm a big fan of both Color and B&W photography. Which do you like better, Color or Black and White?

I do enjoy taking B&W photos, especially with my lovely Rioch GR II. However, I think it depends on the message and feeling that you wanna bring by the photo. Also it depends on the available lighting, sometimes B&W is better in bringing the main idea of the photo by contrast.
Both look beautiful. I like B&W for certain types of photos and to achieve a certain feel for the photo or space the photo will be displayed in. B&W displays textures really nicely especially in higher contrast. Colours are nice in general though.
Great work! Both B&W and color look great, but the first B&W pic look damn classy.
Thanks!
I prefer black and white....it looks classic
Black and white for all of them! As the Galaxy doesn't have a proper lens it takes fairly flat photos, coupled with the contrasting tones you get from B&W images I think it gives a stronger look...
I totally agree with you....black and white rocks
Yes, I would agree, the B&W does look stronger!
Thanks for commenting
Black and white all the way for me! It looks so much cooler! Not to say that the color versions aren't amazing as well, but I find that the black and white ones are really on a whole different level!
It adds a totally different perspective!
wwoowwww awsome photo 😍😍
delicious art and keep it up 😍
I am a minimalist at heart, so if I feel the color doesn't add enough to the photo, I would always prefer black and white :)
I tend to agree, in most cases!
I think the B&W makes both of these shots more dramatic.
It does, doesn't it!
The second one is mesmerizing. Great shots!
@daveks it is good photography
I think it depends on a person mood
Definitely, mood plays a part!
Ohhhh, I can never choose... lol! I always say, both have their merits - B&W is great at setting a mood, colour presents the full spectrum of the scene! Cool both ways... :)
Agreed..Cool both ways!
:))
B&W gives more atmosphere.
For these I prefer the Black and White, it gives an extra depth of feeling to the pictures that somehow is lost in the colour versions - but it certainly does all depend on the subject and aspect.
I agree with that assessment!
Thanks
good question but also superfluous for me.
as you know (or maybe you don't) mostly i shoot in BW and in this post i love these B&W versions much more because of few reasons..
its always depend on what exactly you want to show and to push our attention with these images - the beauty of the crystal blue skies and their interesting forms - leave them in color and first what we will see are these clouds and blue . if your goal to show us the buildings and geometry created by your perspectives - convert them to BW (my opinion of course)
Thanks for your comments and perspectives Victor!
In this case I like B&W more. It attracts more attention to the lines and forms :)
BW-4-EVER!
B&W looks Cool
BW photos are more awesome!
i love black and white photos thats make me fall in deep at two combination contrast between shadows and exposure in one feeling
all of these are simply wow Dave
amazing -- your work is very interesting..
I like the angles
Glad you stopped by for a look!
I cant really decide because both looks great.
I have the same struggle too sometimes, even though I do prefer color most of the times. In this case, I think I like the first one in B&W and the second one in color...makes any sense?? :D
I go back and forth, sometimes I prefer colour sometimes I prefer b&w, I guess it depends on my mood!
good potos.
Rate it.
