When beginning out in images, I used to be puzzled why folks took black and white panorama pictures. Maybe I might see a spot for it in minimalist, lengthy publicity seascapes the place the palette is of course monochromatic. However in any other case, it felt like an affectation, as if the photographer was making an attempt a bit too laborious to present their pictures the sheen of “tremendous artwork”. Why would you’re taking color away from the panorama, I believed, when that’s not how the world seems to be?
Discovering this picture from Nathan Wirth helped me realise that black and white panorama images shouldn’t be about exhibiting how a panorama seems to be. It’s about exhibiting the way it feels.
