Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, May 28, 2024.
Many times it is important to me to photograph a landscape in the medium with which I’m most familiar and most favor–black and white film.
This scene represents a vast brightness range that I photographed in color digitally and on black and white film, knowing that the two results would resonate differently depending on the viewer.
Traditional black and white photography removes the dimension of color and heightens aspects of tonal scale and contrast that evoke different responses. Many do not see the importance of a black and white image when compared to color, but some viewers understand the subtleties and impact of the black and white medium, particularly when prints are made on traditional silver halide photographic paper.
The viewer is always the final arbiter of which medium is most impactful.
This is why I have submitted both color and black and white images in back-to-back posts.
The black and white image was made with a 60mm f3.5 Carl Zeiss Distagon Lens on a medium format Hasselblad 500CM camera using Kodak film developed to represent the long brightness range of this scene .
Notice the square shape of the black and white photograph which captures more foreground while maintaining about the same horizontal angle of view as the color image. Many find the square image to be pleasing as it is the most efficient geometric shape in capturing the circular image the lens actually sees.
