Black and White or Colour – at first it seems obvious, but, on reflection…

When is a lot of contrast too much contrast? And, am I becoming obsessed with steps.
No apologies for a tourist shot, it reminds me of the day I took it – short and simple.
There were lots of large doors and impressive stairways around the Palais des Papes in Avignon, but this one caught my eye.
Sometimes small sections of a scene can provide more interest than the whole picture.
I liked the contrast between the old and new and the dark and light, as well as the crisp lines of the modern balconies and their shadows.

Taking photos in a tourist city without including tourists and armed with a 50mm lens required a rethink of the type of pictures I should take. However, being a bit slow on the photographic uptake, this took some time and a lot of bad photos.
