Lens-Artists Challenge #335: Exploring Colour vs Black & White
This week, Patti of Creative Exploration in Words and Pictures is hosting the Challenge and she’s asking us to look at our use of colour or black & white in our photography. ‘When is it best to use one vs the other?’ She ponders: ‘What’s the benefit of each one?’
Patti sets us a challenge, ‘to explore the difference and the impact of using color [sic] or black & white photography in your selected photos. … Post pairs of the same image in both color and black & white. Limit the number of images to 3 pairs.’ She continues by asking us to: ‘Compare the differences in mood, texture, and light. Share your thoughts on how black & white or color processing impacts each photo. Tell us which one you prefer.’
I tend to use colour a lot in my photography, especially in film photography where I’m a big fan of those colour shifting emulsions like Lomochrome Turquoise or Purple. But in my digital work, I’m a little less … picky.
Often it will depend on the subject. Most of my intentional camera movement (ICM) work is done in colour, I feel that ICM benefits from colour a lot, but the exception is urban ICM, which I think is much better in black and white. Similarly, if I’m out recording some street art then that always deserves colour — even if, or especially if, it’s starting to decay.
Sometimes, though, I set out to make images in black and white, then create colour images from them. There’s nothing I like more than taking an old digicam from the 2000s (the noughties) and testing out the infrared sensitivity of its lovely, lovely CCD sensor. This is often the first thing I do with every new digital camera I get my hands on, and the results can be … interesting.
For example, here is a black and white infrared image of the steel footbridge over the Parque de Infante Dom Pedro in Aveiro. Taken with a Samsung Digimax U-CA3 digital camera from 2003, the camera has been set to monochrome mode and the image taken through a Hoya 720nm Infrared filter. It’s a typical looking infrared image, with white vegetation, which reflects the infrared wavelengths falling upon it, and dark skies and the metal of the bridge, which do not.
But when you take more monochrome images, using red and green filters, and edit the images as layers in a photo editor, everything changes. Suddenly the vegetation becomes shades of red, the sky becomes a bright blue or turquoise, and the image just pops. This is what I call a digital aerochrome, after the long defunct colour infrared emulsion made by Kodak and based on the procedure devised by Joshua Bird. He developed his method using infrared film, but the same technique applies to digital photography as well.
You can have a lot of fun with a digital camera and a set of filters. Take this infrared image of a landscape with lovely wispy clouds in the sky. It’s an OK infrared image in black and white, with the clouds popping against a dark sky. But make it into a digital aerochrome and suddenly the clouds become a kaleidoscope of colour. This is down to the clouds moving in the sky between the three exposures. When the images are lined up in the photo editor the colours of the filters don’t match and are presented in the image as individual colours.
Of course, it doesn’t always go as planned. Turns out this Konica Q-M100, a 1,3MP digital camera from 1997, can’t actually be set to monochrome mode, and the digital aerochromes were absolutely awful. That said, the regular colour images were quite stunning, but through an infrared filter, all of a sudden the image became almost monochrome in appearance. It looked as though a sepia filter had been applied, and personally I found this much more appealing than the colour image.
Sometimes we can combine two techniques. I thought that it might be a nice idea to try some infrared ICM. The results were less than stellar, though, I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen a more boring infrared image, or ICM image for that matter.
But when you make a digital aerochrome of the infrared woodland image, by taking further ICM images through red and green filters, all of a sudden the ICM becomes much more interesting. I’ve used this technique two or three times, and I really love how it comes out.
So instead of using these noughties digicams for ‘regular’ colour photography, odds are that during the sunny spring and summer months you’ll find me wandering around the woods behind our house or in Aveiro with a noughties digicam set to monochrome mode and my little collection of filters. So if you ask me, do I prefer to use colour or black and white, I can happy say, BOTH!
Next week, Ann-Christine will host the Challenge, so I hope that you can join us then. Themes for the Lens-Artists Challenge are posted each Saturday at 12:00 noon EST (which is 4pm, GMT) and anyone who wants to take part can post their images during the week.

The Kodak Easyshare Z710, a 7MP noughties digicam
It’s been a while since I picked up a ‘generic’ camera from the CEX website, but last week they were advertising a ‘generic 7MP camera’ for 4€. I like these as you are never quite sure what you are going to get and for a few Euros the outlay is minimal. This time it turned out to be a Kodak Easyshare Z710 digicam from 2006.
The Kodak Easyshare Z710 is a general point and shoot camera with a 7.1MP CCD sensor and a 38-380mm zoom lens. This 10x zoom was one of its selling points at the time, alongside the Easyshare brand, which meant you could share images straight to a computer with either the USB connection or an optional docking station. The camera has 32MB of internal memory, enough for about 10 images, and although there is a slot for an SD cards use was described as ‘optional’. Fortunately the camera will read my 2GB SD cards so downloading images is not a problem.
As usual,with all new cameras I took the Z710 across the road to test it with my favourite tree and well. The colour images were competent enough, nothing special, but let’s face it, this is a basic point and shoot camera. Then I brought out the colour filters to make a trichrome and the 720nm infrared filter to see what the infrared response was like.
I took one colour photograph with the infrared filter and then set the camera to black and white so that I could make some trichromes. It was a bit fiddly to find tge right options in the menu, but I took photographs with red, green, blue and the 720nm Infrared filter. Back home I loaded the images into GuIMP and using the infrared, red, and green filtered images (for red, green and blue layers, respectively) made a digital aerodrome.
I also took the colour infrared image and channel swapped the red and blue channels. Often this can be ‘hit-or-miss’ but this time the channel-swapped photograph came out really well. Mind you, the infrared photographs were full of noise.
On the whole I was really happy with how this camera performed, especially on the tree, where the afternoon autumn sun was behind me. With the shed in the field the sun was to one side, so the light was not ideal, but the aerochrome and channel swapped infrared image came out well. I don’t think this is a special camera, by any stretch, but for €, what’s not to like?

Last week I took the Powershot G12 and colour filters into the cornfields before they were all cut down

Here's a sneak peek of my entry to the WordPress Lens-Artists Challenge. A digital aerochrome made up of three images, but this time I introduced a little Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) into the mix. Of course there was no way that I could line this up in post, so I didn't even try, but I really like how this came out.

Starting the beginning of July there’ll be a new Shitty Camera Challenge and I’ve been thinking about what I might do this time around. I have a couple of ideas, but just lately I’m really enjoying experimenting with a new to me camera, the Canon Powershot G12. The snag is that at 10MP the G12 is not Shitty Camera compliant, and even if it was the camera is just too darn good to use in the Challenge, so I felt that I needed a backup. Something that behaves just like the Powershot G12 but with half of the pixels.
And that’s where the Powershot G5 comes in. Originally I found a slightly flakey G5 from the Kamerastore website and then a second one came from the CEX website, advertised as a ‘generic’ camera but in beautiful condition, for the princely sum of 3€. The PowerShot G5 was the fourth in the G series of digital cameras, introduced by Canon in 2003. It seems to me that ergonomic design was not at the forefront of the designers’ minds when they made the Powershot G5 as the best way to describe its look is, ‘la brick’. With a 5MP CCD sensor, it features a 4x zoom, an optical viewfinder and a swivelling colour LCD screen. Images are stored on CompactFlash cards, since during the noughties every camera manufacturer seemed to have their own medium for storing photographs.
So I thought it might be a good idea to remind myself how these G5s perform. The G5 from the CEX website was in pristine condition when it arrived, although the battery was not the original Canon battery. On the other hand, the Kamerastore G5 was in slightly worse condition, described as ‘glitchy’ with a flickering LCD screen, but otherwise working fine. I knew that they both performed well in natural colour, and black and white, but when I tried to make trichromes and digital aerochromes the Kamerstore G5 gave a decidedly strange response.
On consecutive days I took the G5s across the road to my favourite tree and well and around the block in tge woods gehind the house and put them through their paces. With the cameras in programme (P) mode and the ISO set to its lowest setting (50), in colour mode I took one natural colour image and then a second image with the infrared filter for red/blue channel mixing. I then set the G5s to monochrome mode, to one image without a filter and then subsequent images with red, green, blue, and infrared filters to make trichromes and digital aerochromes. Back at home I used GuIMP photo editor to red/blue channel mix the colour infrared image and made trichromes from the red, green, and blue filter images. TO make the digital aerochromes I used the infrared, red, and green filter images for the red, green and blue laters, respectively. Blend mode between layers was set to ‘addition’.
The results were fabulous. There was no sign of the strange results from my first experiment and both G5s behaved admirably. I also tried a few infrared channel swapping images and these worked too. Though I have to G5s to chose from with the Shitty Camera Challenge I think I’ll start with the older ‘glitchy’ Powershot G5 and use the Canon LA-DC58B lens filter adapter, which is a little plastic gizmo that fits to the front of the lens of the G5 and allows the use of 58mm circular filters.

Although I think that I have all of the cameras I need to keep me occupied, I sometimes come across a camera that I’ve been seeking for quite a while. One of these ‘nice to haves’ is a glitchy camera. I don’t mean one that’s naturally glitchy because it was made that way, like the Vivitar Vivicam and its shutter lag, or one that has been artificially glitched, like the circuit bent kiddiecam from Freedom Enterprise, but a camera that over years of use has developed a fault that still allows it to be used but the results are not the natural looking photographs that one might expect.
So I was torn by indecision when I came across a Canon Powershot G12 on the Kamerastore website. Under normal circumstances the Powershot G12 is a solid camera, regularly being awarded 4 or 5 star reviews. Released by Canon in 2010, the G12 is a 10 MP CCD sensor camera described as a premium compact and continuing the prestigious G-series of digital cameras. Over a decade after its launch prices are still quite high for the G12, so when I came across a ‘not passed’ model on the Kamerastore website I was instantly intrigued.
Looking at the description of the camera I could see why it was so cheap. ‘The sensor is failing,’ read the description, and ‘it randomly draws horizontal lines and distorts the colors (sic)’. I paused at this point, do I really want to buy a damaged camera that at any moment could be unusable? But then I reasoned, well, even if it lasts a year I’ll have had a glitchy camera and can cross another project off my photography bucket list. So I pressed tbe’Buy Now’ button and waited.
A few days later the package arrived and I couldn’t wait to open it up and parade my new glitchy camera. So imagine my surprise when I turned the camera on and … there were no horizontal lines, no distorted colours. What was going on? Have I been sold a perfectly good camera? At the moment I can’t tell, it seems to be working properly at the moment. Perhaps when I’ve had it switched on for a while it’ll start glvitching. Here’s hoping. In the meantime I took it across the road for its test frames with my favourite tree and well.
I must say, the Powershot G12 is a wonderful digital camera. It’s hefty in the hand, the features are easy to access and it’s a joy to use. Of course, my first test images need to include some infrared images and the camera behaved admirably in infrared. Indeed, I took a colour infrared image for some colour shifting and it was splendid. Sometimes I get a decidedly blue colour cast with channel mixed images, but in bright sunlight the Powershot G12 performed admirably.
One thing I do fancy playing with is the ‘miniature’ option, where the preset adds blur to the top and bottom of the image for a tilt/shift type of effect. I did have a try with this method and it certainly shows promise. So I shall keep on trying to get some glitches out of the Powershot G12 but in the meantime will just enjoy this lovely camera.

As it was a nice and partially sunny afternoon I decided it was the perfect opportunity to take the the supposedly glitchy Canon Powershot G12 out for a walk in the woods and fields behind our house. Of course the main thing I wanted to do was to make trichromes and digital aerochromes with the Powershot set to black and white and using red, green, blue, and infrared filters. These were of mixed success in often challenging conditions. It was sunny but quite heavily cloudy at the same time, but some of the results were really fabulous.
I also took some colour infrared images for channel swapping. In GuIMP photo editor I swapped the colour data in the red and blue channels. I had discovered on my test the day before that the channel shifted images were really nice, but today, when it was slightly cloudy, the images possessed a strong blue tinge. In some instances, though, especially under the oak tree canopy, this produced some lovely results.
I tried a few things with the Powershot G12, landscapes, close-ups of flowers, the fish-eye lens effect, that sort of thing, and I was really happy with the results. Some of the close-ups were really amazing, though as it was a windy day it was occasionally difficult to get proper focus
Even though it’s not as glitchy as I had hoped, this camera is really wonderful. It’s comfortable to hold in the hand, the controls are intuitive and easy to use, and it produces some lovely results. Hopefully we’ll be going into Aveiro soon and I’m waiting to see how it handles intentional camera movement (ICM) compared to the Powershot A720. Who knows, this could become my new ‘carry anywhere’ camera.
