>>7624117>>7624133and here is the original; you'll see how those lines work and slowly draw attention to a specific area, the colours just further compliment the image; it would be just as nice in black and white due to the focus on composition and leading lines
another thing that's worth learning is how light works, there's so much more to it than just blue/golden hour. learn specific types of lighting and how to expose to different types of lighting; since it seems you use a digital camera, test the waters a bit with slightly underexposing to light to see how shadows can have more of an impact in different environments
exposing to light is suuuper important, especially when you take into consideration the type of lighting it is: 2200k or 5000k? lower is warmer, more orange, higher is closer to daylight and whiter
>>7624061is shot on 200ASA colorplus 200, but the white cover over the window serves as light diffusion and softens the daylight coming in, for example; shot with a higher aperture and slower shutter speed to let the window light pour into the room with that softening diffusion without creating a shallow depth of field
daylight can be a bit harder to shoot in, in my opinion, since the whiter nature of it tends to throw you off a bit when it comes to exposure, especially on cloudy days, but it doesn't take long to master it, whereas warmer light seems to create nicer shadows on the surroundings that doesn't seem so harsh
>>7624055this light was quite white, but i slightly underexposed to it and looked at how the shadows worked on the surrounding objects
a cool thing with shooting black and white 35mm film is that you can remove the need for colour to make the image nice, and instead focus more on what the light is doing, then finding composition with that light, i'd say keep that in mind too, even if shooting digital: if the colours around you are shit, shoot with the fact that you'll just edit to black and white while focusing on shadows
