Reflecting View IV
The View Towers puddle reflections series concludes with this shot, though there are more reflections in the queue.
It combines a shadow as a third layer since the sun came out near the end of making these photos.
The shadow and the stronger reflection both mean that a black and white conversion (below) works pretty well, though I prefer the colour.
I am tempted to revisit these puddles.
This one too was made with expired Kodak Gold 200 on the Olympus XA2.

I like the color version better; the color makes it more interesting and gives it a little more depth. (And, yes, it’s really me posting this comment!)

Well now, I saw you posting some colour recently too. So I will believe that it is you, and not that you left yourself logged in on a public computer somewhere. Or not that the cat hacked you computer either.

The cat’s far too aloof to hack the computer – she have someone do it for her, only she’s too sleepy to make that happen.
Coming up on the blog on Sunday and Monday are two photos that I did in b&w, with Nik Silver Efex, then used the luminosity tool to blend with the color layer below. Which I think makes them color AND b&w at the same time.

I like that effect a lot. I first saw David Williams (http://williamsdavid.me/) doing something like that a while back now. It has a feel of both. I look forward to seeing how you manage to step into the colour world, while leaving a monochrome foot behind.

I prefer the color version, too. The yellow is a very interesting color for this type of photo.

The greenish yellow was such a bonus from this old film. In some shots from the roll I got rid of it, but this series overall is better with the colour. It is somehow a bit grittier and dirtier – the black and white cleans it up too much if that makes sense.
