ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Few things glorify light as profoundly as a black-and-white landscape photograph. The absence of color draws attention to the subtleties of light, tones, nuances, and textures, creating an almost otherworldly space that invites the viewer to step inside.

I captured this magnificent light in Ireland with my Rolleiflex 2.8F camera on Ilford FP4+ film, embracing the timeless elegance of monochrome photography.
