What is it about black and white that is so perfectly magical? Is it because it sends you off to an older time, or takes you beyond time altogether? Truly, when you look at black and white photos where the colors are missing, you look deeper into the picture. There is so much to explore, like the lines in one photo, or the mysterious light and shade in another. When you see a landscape picture in black and white it can be a very poetic feeling.
Sometimes, you may be full of wonder as you look at a photo of the moon and a pretty lake with trees nearby. A picture of a boy standing and playing on his violin as birds flies nearby may make you feel lonely. When black and white is used to bring out details, such as on a lion’s mane, the effect can be gorgeous. The play of light and shade on a large curved mouth of a tunnel looks even more beautiful in black and white. Here are 45 black and white photos for you to feel the special magic.
