This was planned. Planned in that I stepped out of the backdoor and flipped my camera to black and white with the intention of shooting in black and white. And I think that’s why it works so well.
Shooting in black and white, you can see what you’re going to get before editing to convert to black and white. And if it doesn’t look quite right when shooting, you can adjust and shoot again.
I took this photo in March last year—just after the stay-at-home order came in in Arizona—and I was looking for ways to stay creative while staying at home. It’s a good reminder I need to do more of this, now.
BTW you can buy this photo a print over at my print store.
