Autumn walk with some close-ups

Black and white landscape with a close-up of long grass and distant trees in the background

Finally cooler weather for an autumn walk.
I am struggling with the limitations of black and white photography when capturing a busy landscape.
#Bw #bwproject #bw2025

Black and white landscape. There’s taller grasses and bushes in the foreground in the left corner, a stony creek bed winding through the center into the horizon with a small swath of water visible in the foreground on the right and center. There are constructed stone embankments bordering the creek bed. There’s a walking bridge and a set of stairs leading down the embankment at the point where the creek bed disappears from view. Distant trees constitute the horizon line.

I am willing to live through layered polos and culottes again to avoid this. And I really hated both.
