Urban Street photography - High contrast Black and White - Saltaire

[@keithratcliffe5576]

Thanks for these pictures of Saltaire, it is a great location. The high contrast recipe doesn't work with some images but in others it really makes them sing. I love the abstracts with repeated elements like the steps and the balustrades and also the social documentary ones of the runners and other park users. My favourite combines both in the steps with the small child at the top 5:53. Brilliant, thanks again for an engaging video.

Agree it doesn’t work for all and some definitely better than others. Once I’m in the zone I don’t think of changing the settings/approach. It’s a special place is Saltaire and I want to add the closer shots to the collection. The balustrades definitely a favourite. Cheers Keith 👍👍

You can't beat a bit of contrast James and you caught it well.

It does have a certain appeal for me. Many more to come. Cheers Iain 👍👍

Loving the images James. It made me wonder what Saltaire was like in the days when it was full of people on their way to work. Looks like an interesting parkrun course.

I have been a huge fan of black and white since 1988, I think you will understand this , I literally see a black and white image when I out and about each day even when I don't have a camera on me

[@JamesRBurnsVLOG]

I’m with you Jack. Something clearly happened back in 1988. B&W will never die of death when it comes to photography. Thanks for the comment
