I felt like playing with some stuff again, so decided to convert some of my latest storm images to monochrome. Black and white is not just removing color. BW-film properties are totally different to color-film. Digital raw images always capture color as well as it's designed to store as much image info as possible. So converting into BW is actually some additional work, if the result is intended to represent a BW film image. In the old days, for example, photographers used colored filters in their dark rooms to enhance contrast etc. Yes, colored filters considerably change lighting in BW photos, as well as contrast and so forth.

But, really, complaining about it won't change it. Besides, especially weather like this has its beauty, if one is willing to look... Usually, for this type of photography, I use a very long telephoto lens (150-600mm). This time I used one only up to 200mm, which means, yes, I got wet feet, and yes, I got sprayed on... Those images were taken between Island Bay and Owhiro Bay, on Feb 5th 2020, around 8 pm. The different colors are due to the different angles. Shooting towards the setting sun gives a very gold/sepia cast - hence the expression "golden hour". The 2 blue cast images were shot due south, the sun coming from the right, hence there is just a touch of gold in them. The last one is an experiment, vintage B&W look.

This tall lady actually bit my camera at some point, but rather gentle. For the Giraffe image also fits the same caption, look to the right hand side...
