A time for Black and White

Summer is winding down and autumn colors will be arriving before long. Autumn in southern Indiana is a great time for photographers. Brown County State Park and many other locations will offer us the beauty that only this time of year holds.

I am thinking past autumn leaves and colors, though. I am thinking about the coming winter and its lack of color. This may be prime time for a new black and white project - possibly a one lens, one camera project.

The constraints inherent in the one camera, one lens ethos brings with it limitations, but it also brings a challenge - to adapt your approach to the subject matter at hand. To innovate in how you select and frame your subjects.

Late autumn and winter is a time of dormancy in nature but it can also be a time of growth for the photographer. With limitations come possibilities.
