Tom loves photographing some scenes in black and white. Winter is the perfect time for this and many of the images in this gallery are of nature, landscapes, trees and winter scenes. Tomas sees most scenes for the many colors found in them but occasionally one must be photographed in black and white to capture its true beauty. Black and white photography is a timeless classic that has a beauty all its own. The greats like Ansel Adams and Clyde Butcher made black and white photography famous by using specialized film and darkroom techniques. Now days with digital most images are converted to black and white in Photoshop and then adjusted to achieve the contrast levels desired.
