Yesterday, I met up with Tracking the Light reader and photographer Andrew Ludasi at Strasburg. We drove to Carpenters to catch the 3pm returning with engine 89.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was dull afternoon, but the sound of the locomotive in the pastoral setting was rewarding. After the train passed, we discussed cameras, film and photographic technique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mentioned that I always liked black & white, and in years past often used black & white film even when I’d had the opportunity to expose color. I suggested that occasionally, I’d convert digital color photos to black & white, and this might be a good idea for today’s photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night during the processing of my images, I desaturated one of the photos and cropped it to make for a more dramatic composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this image, I didn’t make for a full black & white conversion as I left a hint of color and gave the image a sepia-tint for effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is this better than the full color versions? Today, I can have the best of color and black & white. Take your pick as to which versions you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
