One my favorite mediums to take photos with is my little black and white setting on my camera.
Sure you can go into photoshop and turn color photos into black and white, but I think you get a better result when you take the photos out in the field in B&W. You can instantly see how the shadows and grey areas fall in the photo and then tweak your camera position or subject matter.
The coming rain storm was great to capture.
My last photo post talked about close up pictures of flowers, but you might consider close up shots of plants as well.
I captured this wild fern as it was beginning to unfurl. I took me about 10 tries to get the lighting right and the photo into focus. It was a cloud covered day so direct natural light was very limited.
During my nature hike, I found this large egg with some great spots on it....perfect for a black and white photo. Try and use the Macro feature on your camera...represented by the little flower icon.
