![]() ![]() Since we do not experience scenes in monochrome, black and white photographs do not have the same emotional tethers and expectations as color photographs might.įor my photography, this allows me the freedom to take a lot of liberties during the processing phase. One of my favorite things about black and white photography is the fact that it is, by its very nature, a departure from reality. Tip #2: Be Willing to Depart From “Reality” This often means seeking out black and white photographs while in the field and visualizing the final result in black and white before even clicking the shutter. Generally, having an artistic motivation to create a black and white photograph produces far more compelling results than viewing this pursuit as an occasional last ditch effort for saving a poor color photograph. While this latter process can sometimes produce good results, I think digital photographers can learn a lot from the deliberate, intentional processes practiced by our colleagues working with film. Or, if a color photograph didn’t quite work out, black and white processing is seen as a fallback rather than a deliberate artistic decision. This includes the selection of film, careful use of filters in the field, and making a series of technical and artistic choices in the darkroom.įor digital photographers, the choice to create a black and white photograph is often seen as easy – just click a preset and the photo is complete. ![]() Tip #1: Black and White = A Deliberate Creative Choiceįor film photographers working in black and white and using traditional methods, creating a photograph requires a lot of deliberate choices. You can save 20% for a limited time with the code BW20. ![]() If you would like to learn more about black and white nature photography, you might be interested in our new ebook + video course, Black & White Photography: A Complete Guide for Nature Photographers (188 page ebook, plus 9 videos including almost 5 hours of content - sold separately or as a bundle). For me, black and white photography feels like a more expansive pursuit than color photography because of the opportunities and creative freedoms I discuss below. By shedding the expectations that come along with color photography, I have the opportunity to share my photographic concepts with greater latitude. Thus, I can take an image file and create something that reflects my interests, visual preferences, and emotions about a scene or place in a much different way than I can with a color photograph. With black and white photography, the constraints of conveying “reality” do not come into play since there is no reality conveyed in shades of gray. With my black and white work, I often choose to portray drama, grandeur, and darkness in a way that just does not work for me when working in color. Many of my color photos are light and bright, or soft and quiet. While working within this constraint is my choice, it does highly influence my work in a way that applies boundaries. With my color work, I often seek to portray simplicity, quietness, elegance, and contemplation. While I do not hold others to the same principles, I personally think that my color photographs need to be mostly grounded in the reality of the moment I experienced in the field. After sharing selected photos from my black and white portfolios in my last three blog posts ( landscapes, nature's small scenes, and plants), I am going to turn to discussing tips for how nature photographers can create more compelling, interesting, and dynamic black and white photographs. While it is hard to distill years of reading, trial and error, and experimentation into a few bullet points, I consider the following ten items to be the most important things I have learned along the way in creating my photographs.Īs I mentioned in my first post in this series, I generally feel more restrained when presenting a photograph in color. ![]()

![]() ![]() With our enemies left unchecked, who will you turn to for protection? The devastation wrought by the alien invaders is self-evident. The Confederacy is no more! Whatever semblance of unity and protection it once provided is a phantom, a memory. The tides of an unwinnable war are upon us, and we must seek refuge upon higher ground, lest we be swept away by the flood. It is time for us as nations and as individuals to set aside our long-standing feuds and unite. While we battle one another, divided by the petty strife of our common history, the tide of a greater conflict is turning against us, threatening to destroy all that we have accomplished. Let no human deny the perils of our time. We're gone.Īrcturus Mengsk: Fellow Terrans, I come to you in the wake of recent events to issue a call to reason. Not by you, or the Confederates, or the Protoss, or anyone! I will rule this sector or see it burnt to ashes around me! If you try to get in my way- Adjutant: The fleet is prepped and ready, commander. You don't seem to realize my situation here. Jim Raynor: You mean like you sacrificed Kerrigan? Arcturus Mengsk: You'll regret that. Don't even think to cross me! I've sacrificed too much to let this fall apart. The seeds of a new Empire have been sown, and if we hope to reap- Jim Raynor: Ah, to hell with you! Arcturus Mengsk: You're making a terrible mistake. Good huntin'!Īrcturus Mengsk: Gentlemen, you've done very well, but remember that we've still got a job to do. Jim Raynor: I hope you're right, darling. I am a ghost, remember? Once we dealt with the Protoss, we can do something about the Zerg. The Protoss are coming to destroy the entire planet, not just the Zerg. Sarah Kerrigan: Jimmy, drop the knight in shining armor routine. I know you were part of those experiments with the Zerg, that Mengsk came and saved you. Jim Raynor: Why are you doing this, Kerrigan? Look, I know about your past, I mean I've heard the rumors. Our responsibility is too great to do anything less. Arcturus Mengsk: We will do whatever it takes to save humanity. Just promise me we'll never do anything like this again. But you can't let your past cloud your judgement. Arcturus Mengsk: I know you have personal feelings about this. I just don't think anyone deserves to have the zerg unleashed on them. Sarah Kerrigan: I'm having doubts about this, Arcturus. If you decide to accept our help, you'll be branded as an outlaw too. That's why they spread their lies and misinformation. You know, of course, that my organization operates outside the bounds of Confederate law. I'd like to help you out by sending down a number of transports to your colony and evacuating any survivors. ![]() I'm going to make you an offer, magistrate. It's never been our practice to operate in any one place for long, but these Zerg don't look like they're going to wait. ![]() You're familiar with the Confederate propaganda surrounding my group, but your reputation suggests you'll see past it.

The Titan submersible, operated by OceanGate Photograph: EyePress News/Shutterstock “We know that Hamish would have been immensely proud to see how nations, experts, industry colleagues and friends came together for the search and we extend our heartfelt thanks for all their efforts.” Harding’s family said his death had left a “gap in our lives that can never be filled”, and that they were “united in grief” with the families of the others who had died. “What he achieved in his lifetime was truly remarkable and if we can take any small consolation from this tragedy, it’s that we lost him doing what he loved.” He was a passionate explorer – whatever the terrain – who lived his life for his family, his business and for the next adventure. In a statement, the family of the 58-year-old explorer said: “He was one of a kind and we adored him. The family of the British billionaire adventurer Hamish Harding remembered a “dedicated father” who was “a guide, an inspiration, a support and a living legend”, after the news of his death. It added: “We grieve the loss of life and joy they brought to everyone they knew.” OceanGate, the company that operated the Titan and whose CEO, Stockton Rush, is among the dead, hailed the sub’s passengers as “true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure and a deep passion for exploring and protecting the world’s oceans”. The statement thanked the US Coast Guard along with Canadian, British and French partners who helped in the search and rescue efforts. ![]() “They have been through a harrowing ordeal over the past few days, and we are keeping them in our thoughts and prayers.” “Our hearts go out to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives on the Titan,” it said in a statement.

What we know for certain is that ABS is effective at doing what it’s designed to do. In reality, stats don't give us the answer. For the latter statistic, it’s hard to say whether this reduction is down the introduction ABS alone, although it has likely played a part. And in the last ten years, the UK has seen a 35% reduction in motorcycle accidents - which semi-correlates to the time of which ABS began to become a mainstream optional extra. ![]() Once more, ABS isn’t going to help in such a situation.īMW working on road surface sensing traction control for motorcyclesĪ 2015 study by Monash University found that ABS technology resulted in a 33% reduction in injuries from motorcycles crashes and a 39% reduction in serious injuries. Hitting diesel, oil, mud or ice can result in loss of control. Poor road conditions also are a common cause of accidents. Whilst this newer system is more likely to help in the aforementioned scenario, it’s not necessarily a given that a crash will be prevented. ABS’s sole purpose was to stop lock-ups and low-side accidents, but more recently, Bosch has developed a system which works in tandem with the traction control called motorcycle stability control (MSC), as well as developing a more accurate cornering ABS system. ![]() Both options carry different risks and in reality, ABS can only do so much to reduce the likelihood of a crash - going to fast being the causal factor. ![]() You can brake for as hard and long as possible, release, then chuck it in and hope for the best or, brake hard and long, don’t release, and run wide onto the other side of the road (as the bike will naturally stand up whilst on the anchors).

On day #1, I marinated the chicken and made the toum (garlic spread). And, I broke down the workload into two days: It was tested by pretty picky kids and a food snob spouse. This recipe is pretty straightforward, and foolproof. I added to the trimmings, some sumac dredged onions, and homemade pickles.While Nouna uses chicken breasts, I used a whole deboned and sliced chicken, to leverage the juiciness of the thighs.For that extra zing, I added a splash of apple cider vinegar, but regular vinegar will do.Swapped in lime instead of lemon as I believe it is more powerful in marinades.Instead of using yogurt in the marinade, I used full fat milk. ![]() Toum (garlic spread)įor the most part, I followed to a T, the spices amount used in the marinade, yet I slightly tweaked Nouna’s recipe as follows: To cherish Nouna’s repertoire and family recipes, check out her Instagram account generously and promptly shared her go-to Chicken Shawarma recipe, including the indispensable Toum (garlic spread). Now she is a retiree and a loving grandma. Nouna is a lovely Syrian-American Lady who immigrated to the US over two decades ago, where she made a career in baking.
