Black and white photography: do you practice it yourself? How do you find black and white shooting to differ from color shooting? For me, black and white is a wonderful area to explore: stripping color out of the imagery brings forth form, pattern, and the interplay of light and shadow in a way that my brain doesn't process with color photos.
In our December 2011 Group Critique from our Discerning Photographer Flickr pool, I've chosen some black and white images for us to discuss. So, let's get started!
I think this image works wonderfully in black and white. The fog in the distance is nice and I love the strong diagonal line the tree forms from lower right to upper left, AND how nicely the foreground tree frames the distant tree, with its similar leaning shape, a bit of nice and subtle pattern repetition.
'Pathway to the Sky,' by CJ Schmit.
The strong lines and monolithic composition – think '2001—A Spacy Odyssey' – make this one work for me. The reflection of clouds on the glass surface is great too.
We could probably all benefit from attempting to photograph a calla lilly. I always think about Georgia O'Keefe and Imogen Cunningham when I see good examples of calla lilies, and this one is no exception. Nicely done.
I like the image more than the title. This is a nice image that would be better with a more interpretive toning job, in my opinion: I'd like to see the trees darkened to enhance the sense of foreboding and the foggy vanishing point brightened in contrast to the rest.. Justin, tell us about making this photograph.
'Guimarães Castle,' by Ana Matos.
So of course my question with Ana's photograph is compositional: Ana, why did you feel the need to tilt your camera? For me, the tilt adds a sense of the world 'askew,' everything not quite right, etc….but I'm always suspect about camera tilts: does it bring so much attention to the act of photography that the actual results are diminished? I don't know, but I'll be really interested to see what Ana has to say about the image and what others think as well.
'Little Lulu,' by Sarah Tomlin.
This wonderful photograph reminds me of all the joys of childhood: here a little girl proudly shows off her missing two front teeth. Sarah, tell us about making the photograph: what were the circumstances? You've captured a great moment—something that would qualify for the 'Peak Action' photo assignment that's running over in the Discerning Photographer Forums right now—and I love the spontaneity of this image. Great job.
'A single rose can be my garden… a single friend, my world,' by Mick LeConte.
I had to go google this to find the proper attribution: apparently spoken/written by American-born Leo Buscoglia, who wrote a number of best-selling inspirational books before his death in 1998. Mick, are you a Buscoglia fan? I like the image simply for the layered texture that the rose makes, subtle in all of its black and white tonality.
So please let us know your thoughts about these images in the Comments below, and we'll see if we can get a conversation going, and thanks!
8 Comments on "December Flickr Group Critique: Black and White"
I'm thrilled that you've chosen this image Andrew. For the past few months I've become more and more interested in Black and White, and my aim for 2012 is to gain as much experience in this field as possible. Foggy Morn is one of the first conversions I've done since doing some study on techniques.
I adore White Curves by Joyce – very inspirational! Little Lulu is not only cute and gorgeous, but I like the tones in this, a nice softness suitable for the subject.
This was a fun group of images to put together. The calla lilly has given me some ideas to pursue myself.
Hi Andrew, thanks for bringing this photo to discussion. Like the diversity and simplicity of scenarios in the shots that you choose to this theme and this time have nothing special to add.
I agree with you when it comes to b&w photography, it´s very powerful when you want to pop up certain details or focus the attention on something particular.
About the composition used in my photo it's all very simple to me. This place/castle is a very visited and well known place, the photos taken here are always the same. So I shot the typical tourist photos but always thinking on other type of framing of the place.
When I was passing by that path I saw it as a leading object to the main object – the castle. I did what I usually do: weird angles and points of view, plus the vertical format that I use perhaps 50% of the time as a way of framing what I really want. I understand the "askew" but I like to experiment and this was a good opportunity to do it.
I worked on the b&w because of the bright sky even with -2 EV of exposure and at the same the resulting dark foreground (which reminds me the backlit assignment). This was what I managed to do with a jpeg file, not a beautiful photo but a different one that I posted on purpose to raise some comments about the tilt.
: ) Little Lulu, she's the daughter of a really good friend and I photograph her very often. She had just lost both front teeth, and even another one after this was taken. What photographer could pass THAT opportunity up!?
"Foggy Morn", and "And Looked For a Way Out" are my two favs in this bunch, love love love trees.
Thanks again for inclusion in this months critique, love your website.
Thanks Ana. I think the tilt works pretty well for this image, besides what I stated in the piece because of the way it allows you to use the steps in the foreground.
Hi Andrew, thanks for picking me! I'm always happy to get feedback, especially when it's a little deeper than the "nice pic" variety. About this image; it's part of a set I did while walking through the forest near my home. It was a foggy day, and the that really was inspiring, especially in the woods. Also, these woods had a few different feels, some areas very open with tall linear trees, others very narrow and filled in, almost like an alleyway. This is from near the end of the walk, along a forest road, near the border between France and Switzerland. I could finally see the exit.
I'm not sure what to say about the title, I haven't heard any thoughts on what titles should be that resonate with me, so I'm just doing what I think is best. I'm sorry you don't like the title, it's the first thing that occurred to me. I could have been more literal, something about the road, but it fit with this title in the set that I had made. The set is sort of a story.
If felt too dark during the processing, but it seems better now, still rather dark. That's something I struggle with, dark images, and knowing how much work on an image is not enough or too much. Maybe David duChemin's "Vision and Voice" book will be helpful in that regard.
Thanks Andrew! These are a great set of images!
Thanks so much for your thoughtful contribution to this discussion, and the links back to the other versions. It's always a bit tricky on the toning, isn't it? Photoshop (or whatever you're using for toning) can take many paths to get to the same end spot with so many aesthetic considerations along the way. Overall, I think I like your 'darker' version better….maybe with just a bit less 'glow' at the vanishing point…but nicely done all around. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the acknowledgement of my Calla Lilly. It is a thrill to have a professional photographer comment on this image. This was accomplished in-camera using the Nikon D-90's red filter in the monochrome set up and an exposure compensation of -2.0 to ensure a good contrast between the white and black. The f-stop was 5.6 with an ISO of 200. No other post-processing. I enjoy the challenge of capturing an image using in-camera processes. The sculptural quality of these flowers is so appealing and I look forward to doing more of these in b&w and color. Love O'Keeffe and Cunningham! Thanks again.

Orwell's wartime essays: rethinking his politics
Tags: aestheticism, Darkness at Noon, Emmanuel Goldstein, George Orwell wartime essays, Ingsoc, Nineteen Eighty Four, populism, POUM, Trotsky
poster by "liberty maniacs"
Everyone on left or right cites George Orwell when they believe they are being deceived by "authority". This blog, though, is written to those conservatives who believe that Orwell was an un-ambivalent opponent of statist controls. He was not. He never deviated from his anti-capitalist, populist ways.
Here are some shocking details from Orwell's wartime essays, reviews, and letters. I consulted them because I wanted to find out if Animal Farm and Nineteen-Eighty-Four were roughly the same book, both directed solely (or largely) at the Soviet Union's assaults on telling the truth. I read all of the volumes available to me, and was impressed that he admitted to errors of prediction. But the list that follows is about consistent views. I continue to wonder if Orwell identified both with Winston Smith (the victim) and O'Brien (the sadistic persecutor). (On a prior blog quoting Orwell's pity for the Promethean Hitler of Mein Kampf, see https://clarespark.com/2014/12/27/some-irregular-thoughts-on-george-orwell/; also https://clarespark.com/2012/09/28/bibi-and-the-human-nature-debate/.)
1. Orwell admires the reactionary writers of his period: T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, W. B. Yeats, Wyndham Lewis, Evelyn Waugh, James Joyce, in spite of their awful or neutral politics. I.e., he as much as admits to being an aesthete.
2. A self-described "Socialist" and anti-imperialist throughout the essays, he rails at the lack of artistic freedom in the fascist, "totalitarian" regimes of his time. He wants both "Socialism" and total intellectual freedom. When he uses the word "totalitarian" he refers to the lying mass media, especially journalists who perpetuate lies about the Spanish Civil War, the subject of his favorite book-child, Homage to Catalonia. He describes POUM (the faction he joined) as Trotskyist. This raises the question of why he objects to Emmanuel Goldstein, the character with both a Christian and "Jewish" name, and understood to represent Leon Trotsky, a Bolshevik with Jewish descent.
jcemmanuel.com
3. Though in one essay he detaches himself from the notion of "national character", earlier he describes the "English" as "Christian", though their allegiance to that religion is unserious. Now comes the most illuminating point: because the "English" are only superficially Christian, lacking the rejection of worldliness in the Catholicism of Chesterton and Belloc (whom he otherwise rejects as bigots), the English no longer believe in immortality. Thus, devoid of heaven and hell, they are prey to the "materialism" he associates with the Soviet Union and its lying, seductive ways. Hence, the English lack the knowledge of the distinction between "good and evil". Thus bereft, there is no incentive but the search for power. (Enter O'Brien's speech to Winston Smith, quoted here: https://clarespark.com/2012/10/15/orwell-power-and-the-totalitarian-state/.)
4. I have suspected previously that Orwell's attachment to the working class was mostly sentimental, as either compensation or reparations for his military family or his early work for the British Empire in India, before he took up the cudgels for "the colored peoples" of the world.
5. His stated admiration for Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon, particularly the relations between two characters, Rubashov and Gletkin, corresponding to Smith and O'Brien (?), suggest deep influence in the composition of his last book. (There are numerous internet essays on the similarities between the two books: here is one of many examples: http://www.ehistorybuff.com/koestlerdarknessatnoon08.html.)
Conclusion: In his rejection of materialism, Orwell reminds me of the social democratic inheritance passed on by Disraeli (whom he abhors as an imperialist). But his horror at the mendacious new mass media suggests the line of the counter-Enlightenment Frankfurt Institute refugees, whose critical theory dominates the teaching of the humanities today. Because Orwell is not enthused about the victorious but only weakly socialistic British Labour Party, though he does hate the money power (i.e. the British aristocracy that he longs to expropriate), Orwell should be viewed as a disgruntled artist and populist, neither conservative nor left-wing in any sense. At most, he was probably an organic conservative, hoping for mystical Goldstein-free social bonds and sacrifice to restore order to a permanently warring world.

As George L. Mosse once observed, populism stands outside politics. As a closet peacenik writing in the 1940s, a dystopia was Orwell's only alternative.

Athletes, particularly runners, should incorporate a thorough stretching program to properly warm-up the muscles. They should decrease the distance of their walk or run, apply ice after the activity and avoid any up hill climbs. Athletes should use an orthotic device, heel cup, or heel cradle for extra support.


Next week, from the 6th to the 10th of June 2016, one of the most amazing music festivals will take place in Marina Di Ravenna: Beaches Brew 2016.
I used to work at the venue where the festival takes place, and I always recall dearly that time spent on the beach.
If you are passionate about music, and you happen to be around, you should totally go. It's a great experience.

World premiere plays, brand new musicals and classic revivals of both - you name it, March has got it... but let's start with a quick reminder of the Broadway shows closing this month, so you can make sure you don't miss out on these theatrical gems...
March 10 - Manhattan Theatre Club's superb Broadway premiere of Choir Boy, written by Oscar-winning "Moonlight" scribe Tarell Alvin McCraney, plays its final roof-raising performance at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.
March 17 - Tony & Academy Award nominee Ethan Hawke and Golden Globe nominee Paul Dano revel in sibling rivalry one last time in Roundabout Theatre Company's Broadway revival of Sam Shepard's True West at the American Airlines Theatre.

And now, in with the new! Here's what's in store on Broadway this March...
Nathan Lane & Andrea Martin
We kick things off with a comedy pairing made in theatre heaven! Three-time Tony Award winner Nathan Lane and two-time Tony Award winner Andrea Martin return to the New York stage in a world premiere by Taylor Mac which offers a hilarious imagining of events following the bloody conclusion to Shakespeare's tragedy Titus Andronicus. Lane and Martin play humble servants Gary and Janice, respectively, charged with cleaning up the mess in the aftermath of the gruesome fall of the Roman Empire. Will this talented duo of Broadway veterans come, see and conquer??? Don't miss Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus at the Booth Theatre from March 5!

(Photo by Maria Baranova)
The first official Opening Night of the month takes place on March 10 as the hugely hyped new musical Be More Chill (based on the popular 2004 novel by Ned Vizzini) faces the New York critics. The show has caused quite the online stir since its 2015 New Jersey world premiere, particularly appealing to those coming of age in the digital age, and could prove to be a frontrunner in the "Best Musical" category this awards season. So, if you're a Loser, a Geek, or Whatever, head down to the Lyceum Theatre and be uplifted, be celebrated... and be more chill!
Be More Chill Tickets are available now for performances through to September 1, 2019.
Kelli O'Hara & Will Chase in rehearsal for Kiss Me, Kate!

The next Opening Night on Broadway comes courtesy of the Roundabout Theatre Company as Tony Award winner Kelli O'Hara and Tony Award nominee Will Chase face the critics on March 14 at Studio 54. The Broadway revival of the classic Cole Porter musical comedy Kiss Me, Kate! is the well-needed dose of theatrical nostalgia Broadway aficionados are yearning for this season. But will this production be "Too Darn Hot"? Will the critics feel "So In Love" with Ms. O'Hara when the curtain falls?
Kiss Me, Kate! Tickets are available now for performances through to June 2, 2019.
Heidi Schreck in What the Constitution Means to Me
(Photo by Joan Marcus)
At the other end of the theatrical spectrum, also on March 14, previews begin for the Broadway transfer of What the Constitution Means to Me, written and performed by Heidi Schreck. If you're in the mood for a deeply personal and passionate argument in favor of the Constitution that covers topics ranging from citizenship to birth control, then get yourself to the Hayes Theater for an enlightening 90 minutes that may well be the most thought-provoking piece on the Great White Way this season. An official opening is set for March 31.
What the Constitution Means to Me Tickets are available for performances from March 14 through to June 9, 2019.
Keri Russell & Adam Driver

The first-ever Broadway revival of Lanford Wilson's Burn This begins performances at the Hudson Theatre on March 15, with Oscar and 3-time Emmy Award nominee Adam Driver and Golden Globe winner Keri Russell taking on the central roles of Pale and Anna Mann, respectively, in this fiery drama. Exploring a turbulent relationship of two souls brought together by the tragic death of another, this is a perfect play for titans of the silver screen to prove their acting chops on stage. Will Driver and Russell burn the house down?... Find out for yourselves!
Burn This Tickets are available now for performances from March 15 through to July 7, 2019.
Laurie Metcalf & John Lithgow
Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Former First Lady and Presidential Candidate (and Broadway fan) Hillary Clinton is set to make her Broadway debut... Well, sort of... Oscar nominee & two-time Tony Award winner Laurie Metcalf will portray Ms. Clinton in a world premiere production at the Golden Theatre from March 16. Hillary and Clinton is written by Tony Award nominee Lucas Hnath, who previously wrote A Doll's House, Part 2 (which also starred Metcalf and earned her a first Tony Award win). The play, set during Hillary's first bid for the presidency in 2008, also features her husband Bill and who better to play the 42nd President of the United States of America than two-time Oscar nominee & two-time Tony Award winner John Lithgow?!!
Hillary and Clinton Tickets are available now for performances from March 16 through to July 21, 2019.
Rebecca Naomi Jones & Damon Daunno in Oklahoma! at St. Ann's Warehouse
(Photo by Teddy Wolff)
Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin' is what folks will be saying on March 19 because that evening marks the beginning of the run for the Broadway transfer of Rodgers + Hammerstein's Oklahoma! The second musical revival of the season is a completely re-imagined, modernised and immersive production that will turn the Circle in the Square Theatre into a raucous hoedown complete with electric guitars and bubbling pots of chilli. Director Daniel Fish's interpretation of this R&H classic has already wowed audiences and critics alike at Brooklyn's St. Ann's Warehouse, but will it fare as well on the Great White Way? We just Cain't Say No to that!
Oklahoma! Tickets are available now for performances from March 19 through to September 1, 2019.
Ephraim Sykes, Jeremy Pope, Jawan M. Jackson, James Harkness & Derrick Baskin in Ain't Too Proud

Get Ready... to face the critics! The third official Broadway opening of the month is the latest jukebox musical to hit the Great White Way, bringing a plethora of timeless hits like "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)," "My Girl," and "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" with it! Yes, we're talking about Ain't Too Proud - The Life and Times of The Temptations, of course, at the Imperial Theatre. Are you too proud to beg for a ticket to this Motown-infused crowd-pleaser?
Ain't Too Proud - The Life and Times of The Temptations Tickets are available now for performances through to November 24, 2019.
Reeve Carney & Eva Noblezada in Hadestown at London's National Theatre
(Photo by Helen Maybanks)
Are you ready for a trip to the Underworld? Singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell's celebrated folk opera Hadestown finally begins performances at Broadway's Walter Kerr Theatre! The show, a genre-defying adaptation of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, is co-conceived and directed by Tony Award nominee Rachel Chavkin and boasts an embarrassment of riches when it comes to its stellar cast of Broadway pros... With Reeve Carney, Eva Noblezada, André De Shields, Amber Gray, and Patrick Page as our guides, that's a "Road to Hell" we'd gladly travel down!
Hadestown Tickets are available now for performances from March 22 through to September 1, 2019.
Alex Brightman (as Beetlejuice) & Sophia Anne Caruso (as Lydia)
It's Showtime!!! The ghost with the most is making his Broadway debut (brought "to life" on stage by Tony Award nominee Alex Brightman) at the Winter Garden Theatre on March 28. And if you're a fan of Tim Burton, of the macabre, of things that go bump in the night, or even just a fan of general filth, then this new musical based on the cult 1988 film will be right up your haunted street! Brace yourselves, folks... It's Beetlejuice... Beetlejuice... Beetlejuice!!!
Beetlejuice Tickets are available now for performances from March 28 through to October 6, 2019.
Santino Fontana in Tootsie at Chicago's Cadillac Palace Theatre
(Photo by Julieta Cervantes)
Tootsie is coming to town! The new musical, based on the beloved Dustin Hoffman-led 1982 movie, begins performances at Broadway's Marquis Theatre on March 29. Hoffman has left some might shoes (and high heels) to fill, so thank goodness for Tony Award nominee Santino Fontana, who we feel is more than capable of pulling off the dual roles of infuriating actor Michael Dorsey and his lovable yet empowered alter-ego Dorothy Michaels. With the setting switched from a television soap opera to the Broadway industry itself, this musical comedy is bound to have all Broadway fans in gender-bending stitches!
Tootsie Tickets are available now for performances from March 29 through to December 22, 2019.

One of the most important things to understand is the law of the state, specifically when it comes to automobiles, as it's an important part if you're going to receive cheap auto insurance in Utah. Since Utah is a no fault state, each individual involved in an accident is responsible for their own injuries and property damages. For this reason, insurance companies advise policy holders to buy more than the minimum liability auto insurance. The average insurance premium in Iowa as of 2006 is approximately $702.00 and the state is ranked as the 31st most expensive for insurance premiums in the nation.
The state of Utah requires all insurance companies to offer uninsured and underinsured motorist insurance to all their policy holders. Uninsured and underinsured coverage provides protections against drivers who do not carry the mandatory liability auto insurance demanded by the state. Underinsured and uninsured coverage is not mandatory in the state of Utah but it is recommended, even though it may be a little more money on your cheap auto insurance in Utah. If you decide to forego this option, the insurance company is required to provide a signed declaration page stating that you chose not to take the underinsured and uninsured coverage.
You or your insurance company may exclude members of your household from coverage on your insurance policy. If the individual is not listed on your policy, the insurance company does not have to provide coverage for that person. Any exclusions will be listed in the exclusion section of your policy with all of the other circumstances which the insurance company is allowed to refuse a claim for. If your policy lapses or cancels you can be cited for driving without the required insurance so you must pay the premium to reinstate the policy. If the policy is cancelled, then you must find a new auto insurance policy right away – as required by law. With there being so many ways to obtain cheap Utah auto insurance, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. The insurance company will notify the DMV of any cancelled of lapsed policies.
Utah insurance companies cannot use your personal credit history alone to accept or reject applicants and set insurance rates. They may use your credit score in conjunction with other information to determine your risk factors. The other factors which are used to determine your rates are the age of the drivers on the policy, the car you drive, driving records, where you live and your marital status. Likewise, insurance companies cannot use your personal credit history to cancel or deny renewal of an existing insurance policy.
This is where the rubber meets the road – constituting a good way to receive cheap auto insurance in Utah. One of the methods you can use to reduce the cost of your auto insurance premiums is to purchase more than one type of insurance policy with the same company. You will also get discounts for a clean driving record and possibly for renewing you policy with the same company repeatedly. Making sure your insurance never lapses will sometimes reduce your premiums as well as belonging to a particular professional group such as engineers, teachers, or doctors.
Even the dreaded younger driver demographic can receive some breaks here, and while it is a bit tougher, there's still the chance for cheap Utah auto insurance. Younger drivers can get discounts for maintaining good grades, and completing a driver safety course approved by the state. Insuring multiple vehicles will also reduce your premiums. Anti-theft devices and safety mechanisms such as airbags and seat belts will contribute to the reduction of your auto insurance premiums.
