Landscape: Black and White

Five weeks in and I'm really loving this challenge. It could be any photo challenge really, I just love that it has reminded me that I get a huge kick out of taking pictures and sharing them with others.

This week was to take a black and white landscape picture, so I set out one lunch hour at work. There are a lot of brownstone buildings near the downtown core in Kitchener that are getting revitalized into some amazing work spaces. This is a view of the new Google Kitchener office at the Breithaupt Center building from one of the corners. If this picture was taken from the opposite corner you probably wouldn't believe that they were one and the same.


After I took a few pictures there I headed on to the downtown where I thought I would find more inspiration for a picture. The weather had some other ideas as the snow started coming down a little strong at times washing out any contrast that I was on a hunt for. The fire escape on the Lang Tannery building was exactly what I was looking for. The snowflakes add to the image but I wish two didn't land on the lens and cause an unappreciated blur.


I really enjoyed creating these black and white images that I can see me pursuing this artform more often. A book from the library has shown me that I still have a lot to learn. Bring it on!
