One in a while, take a step back and think, what have you passed, forgotten or neglected over the past few months or longer. For me the neglect part must be black and white photography; which my father gave me a great love of so many years ago. He took photographs in the glass plate era, sadly non of them have survived, but I have managed to keep a small album of contact prints from a scout camp in the 1930's

Monochromatic and black and white photography, does not work in all situations, however when given an understanding free reign on the right subject, it gives such a depth of tone and texture, which other photographic styles just cannot capture; I feel that textural images in particular work particularly well, of which woodland images and portraiture are prime examples. Look at the depth and texture in the  above image

Most modern digital cameras have a B/W setting. Give it a go.

The above photograph was taken on Horsell Common not long ago.
