Black and White Sunday: After and Before

Published on by bushboy

I love seeing the results of other peoples after and befores on Lost in Translation. This photo challenge allows a bit of creativity as well. This time I have chosen a photo that I was thinking of taking in black and white at the time but didn’t for some reason. Now is my chance to see it as I saw it in a church in Dijon.

  1. Black and white. The chairs gain some sort of symbolic potential ( as tho each was its own being, reminsicent of the people or tombstones, human mass) . In color, i feel they become just chairs – very nice for realists. I am a symbolist and prefer the richness b/w opens for imagination.

  3. There is a pop of color in the before photo even though it’s wooden chairs. Wood always seems to photograph with shadows which I find create more interest in the item, but, the black and white works well too.
    Nice choice for the challenge …. Isadora 😎

  4. Oh, how can that happen? I was the second to comment, and now my comment has disappeared. Too late in the night to write it again. Maybe tomorrow……

  6. This post is an example of how drastically different a colored photo can look – because they seemed to be two different photos when I first looked – nice choice for the B&W sunday…

  7. Interestingly the two photos evoked different emotions and images. Although I cannot quite say which one I liked better the BW one was like an impersonal photo of an indeterminate past. But the colored photo told a story of a school, perhaps an auditorium waiting for children to come and sit jabber squirm anything to brush away the loneliness, the silence…err umm the Sun is rather bright today 😉 😀

  8. It’s not easy for me to decide which of the 2 versions I prefer. The colour photo it not very “colourful”, it reminds me of a sulphur-tinted B&W #photography.
    Interestingly (for myself), I prefer the first two rows of chairs in colour, and the more distant chairs in B&W (which gives them an even more “graphic” look).
    However, both pictures are good!

    It’s also interesting to read in the comments how differently people see photos.

  10. They don’t look very comfy but make for a great image, especially in monochrome. Thanks, Brian, I am so glad to hear you enjoy this challenge. In two days I am doing the colour one.

    1. Thanks. The B&W did take me by surprise. I don’t think church chairs were meant for comfort lol. I was thinking about you tonight and here you are. Must be the cosmos. Hope you are feeling OK Paula
