Photograph and Camera talk

@Jett129 I totally get what you mean! The individual pictures have such a different vibe in B&W vs color. It was a sunny and warm evening with a light breeze. The sun was low and shining right at him as you can see with the shadow. That warmth disappears in B&W making it look a lot more drastic / sad. In fact it was quite a peaceful and happy mood, everyone was just doing their thing and enjoying the days very last bits of the sun.
„thought provoking“ is a compliment in this case, thank you!
Here’s the pic i first included with the post but then swapped to make it a triplet of the same topic / scene.
@ARNC The third is also my favorite! I love to become more geometrically constructive with my shots. Faaaaar away from Siegfrid Hansen level, but I’m happy you mention the diagonal lines
@pechelman thanks mate! you mean something like this?

@Jett129 That’s a great compliment, thank you. I certainly start to see a little differently though. It’s going from „reacting to situations“ to „seeing situations evolve“ and having the shutter already half pressed before the shot happens.
@pechelman Thanks mate. The color makes the shot on this one I think. I was quite unhappy about the guy walking into my picture at first because there was just no way to recreate it. But everyone I’ve shown the shot actually thinks it looks better because of the head in the foreground and I’m starting to feel the same way.

@goosehd awesome! when exactly are you going?
Visiting „Praia da Ursa“ is something I would definitely recommend. It’s one of the most beautiful beaches i’ve ever been to. And while it is not a complete hidden gem anymore you can really enjoy some privacy there and escape the tourism. Even when water temps are too low to swim, go there for the views.
Also, go grab some Pasteis de Nata at Mantegaria (multiple locations throughout Lisbon), they’re the best hands down.
To not flood the thread feel free to shoot me a PM for more
Back to topic, here’s some B&W from Lisbon

@weftyarn Don't want yo to get a swelled head but, as usual, they're all really great. The ticket widow picture absolutely floored me. Seeing the hands on top was one of those,looking at photography,holy shit moments. To circle back,if your head gets a little swelled,it would certainly be understandable. After I posted this I went back and looked at it again and realized that the hands are from another picture. Decided not to edit that part out of my original post. Still a great shot.

I was lucky enough to hit the Fragile Beauty exhibition this afternoon when there was hardly anyone there and total freedom to move around without dodging other people (this never happens to me). Highly recommended for anyone in/near/passing through London – I’ll almost certainly go back before it closes. I hesitate to include my snap below in this thread or in the context of the exhibition, but it gives an impression of the final space.
Edit: added link

@pechelman thanks a lot Pechelman! It was the 1.4/50 (I), as far as I can remember from 1959
