I have converted some of my reindeer pictures to black & white, and at the same time trying to make a portfolio on my web site. I had this option for a long time, but didn’t do anything about it befor today. So here it is, my first portfolio, from south sami reindeer herding in Norway. That is, from the spring migration last April:

Beautiful shot Bente!

For me, except for a few notable exception (the dog being one of them), the photos work a tad better in color.
I’m referring to the sweeping panoramas, where the reindeer don’t show up as well as they had in the color shots.
Then again, I am so often wrong, that were I someone other than me, I would not go by anything the me says.

It surprises me…it is a wonderful picture itself, I’m sure it is stunning with colours.
None the less this black&white rendering gives a strong emotion, unreal, poetic and slightly real. Like a good old book that makes tou tremble with emotions.

Wonderful composition. The black and white gives the picture a immortal feeling.

Almost minimally sleek in monochrome.

Since the background is mostly white anyway, this photo works very well in black and white. That must have been a sight to see. (Oh… I guess you see it all the time.)

You seem to have crossed over a line into a kind of primitive visual poetry with this photo. Very appealing.

Magnificent serie in your portfolio, these black reindeers on the snow look like a written story on a page, or little notes on music paper. Congratulations, beautiful graphism, Lou.

That’s not a cloud to the right of the picture – that’s Father Christmas’ beard wafting past as his sleigh sails through the air. An amazing transformation and we seem to see so much more now that your picture is in b&w.

Black and white version, makes the line of migrating reindeers and the base of the mountains appear as two lines converging.
