Sometimes the only way to overcome light too red to bear is to shoot in black and white. Above, Justin Robinson of Carolina Chocolate Drops and, here, Justin Robinson and the Mary Annettes. Below, Pete Connolly of Birds & Arrows.

I don’t have it quite right yet — black and white makes you look for different light than shooting in color does, and I’m not used to it — but I’m working on it. When I can produce a stunning image in B&W at the Nightlight, I’ll be satisfied. Maybe.
