Black and white photography allows us as the viewers to infer colors, to see contrast and requires us to look deeper into the photograph.  <\/p>\n<p>I have always been drawn to B&#038;W photography. Whether it was the street photography of Henri Cartier-Bresson or the dramatic landscapes of Ansel Adams, the starkness of the images spoke to me.  I wanted to create a Black and White Nightscape Time-lapse because there is something special about the tonality of the night sky and how it lends itself to being monochromatic. <\/p>\n<p>Many times as photographers we will look at an image that doesn\u2019t look quite right or doesn\u2019t have brilliant lighting and a colorful sunset and say, \u201cI\u2019ll just convert it to black and white to save it.\u201d  However, I have found that usually creates a bland B&#038;W image.  Black and white photos need to invoke emotion without the help of color.  They are pure.  They need to be powerful.  <\/p>\n<p>When going through my library to select time-lapses to convert to black and white for this short film, I found that many times clips that looked great in color didn\u2019t work as well in black and white and I actually had to be more selective.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you will take a few minutes to watch this short time-lapse.<\/p>\n<p>_______________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Photography Portfolio: www.aaronkeigherphotography.com<br \/>\nFacebook: www.facebook.com\/akeigher<br \/>\nInstagram: www.instagram.com\/aaronkeigherphotography<\/p>\n<p>_______________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Locations in this film include:<br \/>\nAncient Bristlecone National Forest, CA<br \/>\nAnza Borrego State Park, CA<br \/>\nBryce Canyon, UT<br \/>\nCascade Mountains, WA<br \/>\nDead Horse Point State Park, UT<br \/>\nDeath Valley National Park, CA<br \/>\nGrand Canyon National Park, AZ<br \/>\nJoshua Tree National Park, CA<br \/>\nMount Hood, OR<br \/>\nMount Rainier National Park, WA<br \/>\nOwens Valley Radio Observatory, CA<br \/>\nSpouting Horn, Kauai, HI<br \/>\nTehachapi Pass Wind Farm, CA<br \/>\nTrona Pinnacles, CA<br \/>\nYosemite National Park, CA<br \/>\nZion National Park, UT<\/p>\n<p>_______________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Keigher\u2019s Equipment:<br \/>\nCanon EOS 6D<br \/>\nSony a7s<br \/>\nRokinon 14mm f2.8<br \/>\nCanon 16-35mm f2.8<br \/>\nCanon 24-105mm f2.8<br \/>\nRokinon 24mm TS f3.5<br \/>\nCanon 35mm f2<br \/>\nCanon 50mm f1.8<br \/>\nCanon 70-200mm f2.8<br \/>\nCanon 300mm f4<br \/>\nEmotimo TB3 Black 3-Axis Motion Controller<br \/>\nDynamic Perception Stage-R Pan\/Tilt Modular Digital System w\/NMX Pro Motion Controller<br \/>\nDynamic Perception Stage-One Slider<\/p>\n<p>Software Used:<br \/>\nAdobe After Effects CC<br \/>\nAdobe Lightroom CC<br \/>\nAdobe Photoshop CC<br \/>\nDaVinci Resolve<br \/>\nFinal Cut Pro X<br \/>\nGB Deflicker<br \/>\nLR Timelapse 4<br \/>\nPhoto Ninja<br \/>\nNeat Noise<br \/>\nqDSLR Dashboard<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIn the beginning it was all black and white.\u201c \u2015Maureen O\u2019Hara The world isn\u2019t black and white, but maybe sometimes it is best viewed in it.
