Chapel at Colgate University b&w


It is the time of year for infra red B&W!  The skies in central NY are really perfect for this type of shooting add to that the beauty of the Colgate campus and you have a great combination.

Keep Makin' Art!

The first image, particularly, has an almost hypnotic effect upon me. It leads my thoughts off in all manner of directions. It would not be half as powerful in colour, I think.

Hi Dave - you are correct the color shots of the same scene are nice, but have none of the mystery or power of these.

I agree (for what's worth - teehee). The B & W pictures are indeed "more powerful"

Colgate IS beautiful. I just went through there last weekend.... sadly a dark, gloomy and rainy day!

Vicki - Oh Sorry to hear. We had rain on day one.. but some of those great summer central NY skies on the Saturday we were there.
