B/W photography is awesome in the sense that it places much emphasis on the subject (without the eye being distracted by colour) and it is a very powerful medium....having said that, and without being critical, I think this image would have been much better in colour.

"Winter endings" under time lapse gave me a tear. Very impressive stuff.

To save the cost of a new thread - BBC News - Photographer Murray Fredericks braves Greenland's ice sheet has some pretty impressive stuff in it, and all in Rudi's preferred full colour glory.

TX Leif...

BTW: How much does a new thread cost? I haven't paid a cent for my threads?

Well, as they say - If you gotta ask, you can't afford it

(As for your never having paid a 'cent' - whatever that is - rest assured that our resident enforcer Claude le Tire-Bouchon will be contacting you shortly for you credit card details...)

Do I have to pay with money? Can't I trade in some cows or something?

Get one of those stoned sheep - you could make a lot of threads from its wool.

Great idea

However, the stoned sheep threads are ONLY reserved for you Admins as they can only be posted in the Words from on HIGH forum!

Post by **Leif** » 23 Oct 2014, 15:46

Exactly - that should weed out any miscreants.

Personally, I think those lions have been eating the stoned sheep.

That explains why they are in black and white?
