In color the apple was everything, in black and white it is just one element in the image.

B&W is often more eloquent than color. Color is noisy and loud, B&W cool and introspective. That's why I dig Ansel Adams silver palladium work.

I will be doing a lot more of it.

Best way to learn that pesky light.

Art and the apple as a favorite though beginning to think it depends on my mood since each is so different. All are great though the fire escapes tend to make me miss JeffR a bit.

what come out of it. I might do some cropping.

The apple image was taken near where I took my chair and wall image. I like it.

The lens I used was my least favorite. It might be an OK lens, but I don't like the bokeh, and focus takes real precision. My other manual lenses are more fun even though they are 100 mm. (micro 4/3 doubles FL)

A different take.
