Thank you very much! Oregon is such an amazing state, I have spent there just a little over a month and I am missing it since I left it!

Wonderful images, Vieri! I have photographed all of these places (we lived in Bend, OR for the past 5 years) but I have never considered B&W. Your images bring a fresh (to me) look at these familiar places. I am inspired to consider not only rendering some of my images in B&W but to also consider photographing them again with a view towards making them B&W. I need to read up on the subject. I am guessing that maybe one would shoot differently if the goal is B&W. I will continue to use my Sony full frame cameras but your lovely images have inspired me to consider switching up my style. Thank you.

Hey Dan, thank you for your comment and kind words, truly appreciated! You raise a crucial point about photographing in B&W. I have been working in B&W exclusively for the last couple of years, both with my IQ4 Achromatic back and recently with 4x5" film.
In my experience, working in B&W truly changes the way we look at the world around us. Seeing a screen with no colours, at first, is disconcerting - but, it soon becomes second nature, and it gently nudges you towards prioritising light, shapes, lines, tonality...
When I then moved to 4x5" B&W film, I was again looking at a coloured world through the ground glass of my camera; however, I noticed that just knowing I was going to photograph in B&W made me "see" in B&W, just as I was when looking at a B&W screen for the previous couple of years.
It takes time to get used to seeing in B&W, but once you do, it sort of becomes like riding a bike - no matter how long you won't ride one, you'll never forget it.

Dan -- Try setting the creative style on your Sony to black and white. This will set the viewfinder to B&W and help you visualize the scene in front of you more effectively (if you are shooting raw it will not effect the raw image).

Indeed! If you camera offers that options, that is a very good suggestion to get into the B&W mindset!

Thank you so much, happy you liked them! #2 is one of my favs as well, the driftwood on the PNW coast is such a main character in the story - that particular piece was taller than I am (at 6'2!!)
