Festival of the Belly Button

Taken August 2012

It took me a long while to realise that an image that worked well in colour, would not necessarily convert well to black'n'white. For me, a monochrome image works if I incorporate light, or line, or perspective. Or all three, but that is getting greedy. Light is the trickiest of these to capture. I will leave that until later in the week. For starters, I want to show what I have learnt about line and perspective. I loved the post and rail fence, its ruggedness, its naturalness. But my approach was wrong. A fence like this requires perspective, or texture. I had neither. At the station I had line, perspective, AND light.
