Traffic, Lines and Birds.

Hi everyone!

Today I want to share with you some photos that I selected especially for black and white. They are photos I took from the balcony, some of these photos are in my previous post. When I take photos I have two types of purposes, I think about which photos will be in color and then I spend time on my black and white photos. For me, the latter have specific concepts and compositions, I can say that they take more work and are the best for me.

These types of images are more expressive, I think. The details are better appreciated and you can play a lot with contrasts, shadows and lights.

These were some of the shots that I dedicated time to for this version, emphasizing the lines of this avenue. I am referring to the pedestrian crossing, the symbols, arrows, while this complements the rush hour traffic. Those people crossing give it an interesting touch.

I like this shot a lot. I can see three lines there, while the motorized one is moving. At first I thought he was a delivery man but after looking closely I realized he wasn't. He even has a high displacement motorcycle.

I could have straightened the photo but this time I wanted the result like this, tilted so that I could include the full lines.

I wasn't sure about including this photo because the bike is out of focus but for some reason it catches my attention regardless.

This is a photo that is out of the previous series. It was in the Puerto Madero neighborhood, it was a public street cleaning employee. Although it was taken in a different place, it has in common those lines that I mentioned at the beginning, I also love the large amount of bush that can be seen in the background.

During that walk in Puerto Madero I took this couple of photos of these small animals. Birds are very common to see here, it seemed like a good idea to also save them for a black and white version.

What do you think about these shots? Did you like some of them? Let me know in the comments :)
