[22/365] I've held an affinity with Black & White photography for a long time, trying to capture the mood, atmosphere and meaning of a photo in the most refined colour palette available is both difficult and rewarding - enhancing photos massively with a well implemented Black & White finish. A more recent interest had been sparked by works on Flickr collectively described as diptychs or triptychs which are several panelled works i.e. made of several photos sort of collaged together. Having merged the two skills in this piece, I hope to have captured some of the same awe which I find in others' works.

Photo tips

Lessons learnt include give a proper title - I was too convinced by stringing together an interesting phrase than finding a set of words that complement the photo, after a while the title even got embarrassing...Next don't splice together too many shots just for the concept. I realised that the fourth shot, the one in the bottom right corner, was unnecessary and a bad addition. So it is good to have some time looking over your own photography to see flaws.
