I love streets of Pardubice! I’ve already made some photos of them for Photo101’s assignment “Streets”. Today’s theme is “Architecture” and I went outside to snap some details. We were asked to play with black and white as well, and here’s an example of the difference it can make:

Which one do you prefer? To be honest, on such a wonderful sunny day it was too hard for me to make all photos B&W, especially considering that the streets of Pardubice can be so colourful! Here’s more colour therapy for you ;)

I always love B & W photos, especially if you can ramp up the contrast and really make them pop. Sometimes I find it hard to lose the colour in certain photos, but it depends on what the colour is. I like the B & W version above more because I don’t think the colours add anything extra that you can’t see in B & W, whereas the great photos at the bottom have much more significant colour. Nice job! :)

What a beautiful town but I also prefer the B&W. It does give a wonderful moodiness to the photograph.

I love the B&W as it shows off more sharpness. The colors in Pardubice buildings are brilliant. Great capture.

Makes a lot of difference with colours – a happy, springy picture definitely! Love the colour on the sky. BW does feel moody…A little haunting even, and mysterious! Great capture though!
