Do you prefer Black & White, or Color Photos?

[msc545]

I like black & white for some things, color for others. How about you?

It's strange that B&W is so alluring because it is not a natural representation to humans.

It was just a step in the evolution of photography, yet it imparts such a great quality to some photos.

I like both B&W and color, but B&W definitely evokes feelings that color photos can't.

On a side note, I recently scanned some Kodachrome slides (my all in one printer has a feature that allows the scanning of negatives and will then print them as positives. It also scans and prints slides as well.).
The prints that came from the Kodachrome slide have amazing color!
They're like comparing a Technicolor movie to previous movie color techniques.

Honestly, it depends. I really like black & white photos, but pictures I like the most of my parents are in color. Although I did retouch one into black & white because it was more beautiful and melancholic I think? I used it as a pfp on here for a while.

The funny thing about that picture is that they took it one day or so before they had a huge argument. The day after the argument, they made up and had makeup sex. And seven months later - it was preterm - I was born!

Black and white if they’re of me.. it’s like then only myself can recall all the magnificent colors that I experienced in that moment around me..

Or the ones where the central focal point of the picture is color and the background is in black and white, or vice versa

For photographs, i think black & white is classy depending on the photo.

For tattoos, i prefer color on myself.

Colorized images of photos from before WW II look rather stupid to me. B/W certainly gives a more dramatic appearance to many photos.

I do both. This is the old school in my hometown.

Usually have color photos but B&W can be really good with that retro look. My cop friend use to shew me crime photos and they would usually be in black & white.
