Every day it's overcast I'd be shooting the place as hard as I could go for as long as I could go.! If you shoot on brilliant sunny sky days it'll take the feel of disaster away. You'll have black shadows to deal with all over the place and the appearance of disaster will not have the same impact. The pictures because if you shoot in colour will look like nothing more than another Hollywood disaster scene. As far as shooting colour? It would have to be some smashing brilliant colours, probably a close-up or medium shot to make it worth while. If it were me to shoot colour it would have to be a smack in the face impact of colour. However, the scenes we've looked at so far have such B&W power to them this subject just has to be shot in B&W! Think about WW2 and the cities after the bombings, which pictures appeared more devastating, those in colour? Or those in B&W? B&W hands down everytime. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited 1817 Feltham Road Victoria BC V8N 2A4 250-477-2156
