Urlaur Lake, Mayo – one of my other favourite places and so close.
More boats from around Killala harbour.
I took the same shot in colour – it is good too, but I still like the B&W better.
Which do you like better?

I think I like the color better because of the way it has worn down over time in certain places, but I like the black and white one on its own too 🙂
Yeah? They were pretty – I think if I messed around with filters or had a proper camera I could have gotten something special in colour. As it is? That was the only picture I took! I’m so bad, I just take it and go, never look to see what I have.
I like the BW boats better too. Nice photos!
Thanks! It’s partly the app, though – it gives them that certain look that my mind imagines anyway.
You’ve got an amazing talent with photography in general, but the B&W shots have this great timeless quality to them that a lot of people can’t seem to get. I *love* the pic of the ivy in the shed.
Aw, thank you! I know exactly what you mean.
I think the black and white has character and mystery.
Likewise. I feel like the monochrome boats have a story to tell, the color ones… they’re just there.
Thanks to both of you! I agree of course, but I did wonder if anyone would like the colour one too.
The color shot was good too, and I think it depends on what you are trying to say or what the story you want to tell with your photo. The color photo gives you all of the details and shows all of its glory, but the black and white photo lends an air of mystery and maybe a story yet to be told. It makes you use your imagination.
B&W wins for me. Somehow that worn-down boat paraphernalia looks much more charming in B&W.
Whereas in colour it just looks used 🙂
I definitely like the black and white better. Gives it more character.
Yep! Like the peeling paint on the right boat’s door. It’s ugly in colour, but beautiful in B&W.
I like the B/W boats, too
The colored one has so much going on – but if you crop parts of it – each piece is interesting
Lovely leafy curtain!
I think I like the colored one more! I love those blue colors. 🙂
I think if it had so e sort of filter to bring up the blue it would be better!
I love Black & White photo’s, there is something special about them, but don’t ask me what. I like taking pictures of myself in black and white as it hides my big rosy red cheeks lol
Might hide my moustache too…
I need photoshop shadows and highlights for mine lol
I need a weed whacker! Mom was red headed but I grow BLACK hair where I don’t want it. Including my damn legs.
lol My collar and cuffs match, it’s everything in between that’s the problem!
I always said the drapes don’t match the carpet – and nope, I was blondish up top but black as the depths of sin from there down! Course now I’m grey every damn where.
I’m not so worried abut my face. I have this recurring nightmare that someday my eyebrows will conquer it lol
Like they will grow down and become a moustache?
You’ve seen ivy on the front of an old house right? Kinda like that, I mean who the feck is going to know where the tache was when that happens lol
I pluck mine – but every time it seems there are more in the middle up AND down, and on the edges up AND down. What the fuck, man? Now they are going grey they are harder to fucking FIND, too!!!
LOL as in really really LOL. WTF is this conversation not like….
It’s very much not like a velociraptor eating a ham.
Omg! Lol I was thinking something a little more triffid like
A triffid having awesome sex on a beautiful sandy beach? Sorry. I forgot where this conversation started now…
