This week, Patti has provided an interesting topic to explore with photography. I love monochrome photos but don’t use it very often with mine. I think it can bring out nice details or create a mood. Here are a few I have for this week.
This flower is pretty in color but I also like how this edit turned out.

This photo was taken on a cold day and I think the monochrome helps give the impression of cold. There is even a layer of ice in the water beyond the dock.

Beaches are great for monochrome photos.

Here is an “usie” (plural of selfie) of Gidget and I at the beach. I think we look quite nice ๐

Nora, these are gorgeous photos. Love your first one (chrysanthemum) ๐ ๐
Thanks Cee
hahaha – thnks for the new term “usie”

Ice, water, lines and shadow make good mono.
Thanks!
Nora, that first photo is absolutely wonderful. ๐๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ

Great photos, all. Love the flowers, reflection, beach, and usie.
Thanks John!
I love these, especially the flower and the beach.

LOL, a new term “ussie” – loved that Nora. Also loved the way your flower looks in sepia and the beach fence shadows.
Thanks Tina!

The flower is especially striking.

Great choices, Nora! Love the fence shadows – and the flower is otherworldly!
