I did black & white once, in those days were we had to work in the darkroom. Now I feel colours are part of the documentary photos I usually do, and at the same time I love the colours of life. But, here are some B&Ws from the same reindeer corral I visited last week..
There are more photos from reindeer herding and sami life in my photo galleries. You can see all my blog posts about reindeer herding in this reindeer link.
love these the most so far… the B&W has a mood… love it
I really like the B&W effect for this series. It really sets the mood beautifully done Bente!
Love the B & W!
Great photos, Bente!
I’m not a fan of B&W, but the shot of the kids is precious.
Just as stunning in black and white…love the 2 little girls!!
In b/w as beautiful as in colour. B/w and the dynamic of this event dovetails nicely.
Ha en finfin dag.
black & white works terrific in this series
Amazing gallery link to the galleries, I really enjoyed looking there…

Très belle série en noir et blanc. Un moment à vivre!
Some of the B&W are wonderful! Black and white photography can have added value and in this log it’s like that!
Black and white pictures are just wonderful when used like this. Great pictures, culturally and artistically. The one with the two children is a work of art.
B&W can really be beautiful and sometimes adds extra value to a photograph. I also like the reindeer link. Whenever I have some time to spare I can look at your previous posts about this interesting subject and learn a bit more about these animals.
It was as cold as it seems… Wasn´t it?

I really like these in black and white. The color ones were nice, but these really work!
Fantastiske bilder dette. Både de i farger og disse i svart-hvitt. Du er virkelig midt oppi det hele.

Lovely photography! Never saw a real Reindeer in my life. But love this majestic animal from my childhood days.
Thanks for sharing.
Really interesting how the change from to B&W from colour in the previous post can change the sense of era you get with these pictures.

Fascinating photos Bente! Have missed you Norwegian perspectives
Really stunning photography!
These are stunning images, Bente. And fun to see how your way of shooting has changed over the years, no? I love the way you play with variation within a limited space. Great work!
Wow, what synchronicity that you would visit my blog, Pacific NW Author leading me to find a post on reindeer and Sami reindeer herders! I’ve been working on a chapter on Sami yoik for a book I’m writing on music. Your reindeer pictures are fabulous and b/w was a good choice to photograph them.
