I have still not edited all the photos from visiting the reindeer herders a few weeks back, but I have transformed some to B&W. 
All these pictures are from the south saami reindeer herders, from a winter gathering in the mountains not far from the Unesco world heritage site of Røros. It was 22-24 degrees C below zero that day, and maybe you see this cold better in the coloured ones I had in a former post. I am not sure I have finished editing the B&Ws, but there are some more to bee seen in my B&W reindeer photo gallery. Or in other reindeer galleries.




These are superb Bente. I really like the B&W treatment!
Some of your reindeer photos would make great posters.
They almost glow here in that snow. This series is terrific.
Black and white gives such a special mood doesn’t it?
excellent series of photographs
I love the last landscape with the solitary figure.
I love the photo with the cell photo. there is something about capturing peoples modern habits at the same time they are practicing one of the earliest habits that made us modern humans.
It’s always such an adventure going with you to the reindeer. Perhaps you’re right – in this instance the colour shots, with their muted colour scheme of pale pinkish sunlight and blue snow and ice, better describe the cold – but I do love that last black and white shot of the herd and the lone herdsman – that’s very effective
Great photos, Bente. They work well in B & W.
I love the 4th photo of the young girl (is it a girl?). Her face stands out so well in the image.
Great black and whites! Beautiful pictures
Fabulous shots, but that last one is very cool. No pun intended.;-)
Love the black and whites….and love all the photos:)
Fantastic photos! Perfect in black and white. I love the reindeer rushing by in the first; the illuminated appearance of the reindeer in the second; the intensity of the girl and that it is accentuated by the softness of the deer around her; and the solitude, subtle curves, and texture of the last. Thank you for sharing these! ~ Lily
‘hahahaha’ – when I took a very fast look at my incoming posts – I read “Reindeer herding in BMW” and thought what’s going on up north… ‘hahahahaha’
- and the I saw it was “Reindeer herding in B&W”…
These reindeers are wonderful – a lovely animal – excellent captured…
Ha! I thought the same thing at first glance.
Always love your reindeer work. So exciting!
Fantastic atmosphere! I can’t imagine being that cold brrrrr
I like your B/W series but as you said is the cold better to feel and see in the coloured ones!
Ha en fortsatt finfin helg!
I like the black and white but (if you remember that far back!) it does have a different quality from film B&W. The contrasts are less I think. The first is my favourite.
Bente, I love these. I think my favorite one is the second from the bottom. Very nice!
Nice B&W work Bente
Excellentes photos. Très bon choix pour le noir et blanc.
¡Espléndidas fotos en blanco y negro!
LOVE THESE IN B&W! Haha
Fantastisk serie, igjen.
Gorgeous pictures! Loving the B & W, and your new theme
It showcases your brilliant photography better!
So wonderful…. Love these in B&W! Such wonderful captures to begin with, but so very expressive.
Son muy buenas fotos, y alguna, realmente excelente. Me gustan. Gracias.
I love your B & W reindeer photos, there is something so strong about them, so timeless…
B and W gives here real emotions…
I really like these. Dynamic & natural. I don’t know if that’s because they’re b&w or just your wonderful talent as a photographer
Great work, the b&w treatment works perfectly….so cold….
This is … like … magical!
Beautiful! Happy to find more in your gallery
Bara ljuvligt fina! Snyggt med sv-v.
Klem og alt godt til dae!
