Here is a photo I took in Bad Oldesloe. While the colors of the original looked great, I didn’t like the heavy lens flare. I went through a couple of black and white settings until I found a vintage one that did hide most of the lens flare very well. On top of that, it transformed the photo in a very positive way. The reason why I shot the photo was that I liked the arch of the bridge from my point of view. Together with the housing in the background and the stairs, it just made me want to take the photo. I photographed quite a few bridges already, I just like the shapes of them.
Black and white works well with old structures.
Yes, it makes the textures come to life and shows the contours well. 🙂
