Monochromatic
Why do you choose to use monochrome? The chimpanzee is puzzled too. But more of him later……
So, as soon as I got to the hill, I looked at the sky and thought, ‘Black and white’. It’s just like that sometimes. Straight away you know that you feel a mono image should work and the drama of the sky was a decider here.

I thought I’d captured too much in this image and that focussing in on parts of the view might have been better. However, a bit of work to even out the exposure seemed to help. I was pleased with the way the sky came out and I like it enough to get it printed up. And it worked out as a mono which is good because it was pretty drab in colour.
Offered in response to Leanne’s Monochrome Madness challenge – which you can link to HERE. This also gives you info on how to join in to the challenge.
Here it is in Black and White
So here I am, back on-line again after a short illness – also recovered from the Euros!! – and things are about the same as they were before – feels restrictive despite recent changes. And so I’m grateful for Anne Saddler setting the Lens-Artists Challenge this week and her chosen topic, Black & White, is a favourite of mine. A subject I can get my teeth into.

When I left the Gallery of Modern Art that day (link), I ambled down to the Merchant City Festival. Always an exciting event in Glasgow with all sorts of entertainment spread over a two week extravaganza.

Monochrome Monday
This is a relatively new visitor to our garden – a young grey tabby and a very nervous little cat too. It has lost one of its back legs but that certainly doesn’t slow it down one iota.
