So, if you read yesterday's post, this is where I wanted to be for the morning shoot. The fog added to the stunning dawn. Yes, it was really that color. And add the serendipity of a fisherman in his boat heading out for the morning, and I was excited just to be there. But now I have a new decision as I process the image. What would it look like in black and white?

I began my photographic adventure with black and white film. I learned to process the film and print my own photos. I even had my own darkroom. I loved film. But digital photography permits endless versions before we decide on the final image. (It's not even final, because it can be changed again and again. Quite a change for one who shot lots of transparencies). When I shot film I loved black and white images. And this photo, as colorful as it was, might even lend itself to being processed as a black and white photo. I like it both ways. That possibility thing. I see things in the image below that I hadn't noticed in the image above.

Sometimes, we have to take a step back, try something different, and we discover what was already there.
