Nikon D7000 + Sigma 10-20mm @ 10mm ; f13; 1/200 sec; ISO200 – taken 15 January 2015.
When snow fell, I was up the River Irvine valley taking images of landscapes and skies. I think this is the first time, I’ve shown this photograph – appeals to me. Took it with a wide-angle lens to include loads of sky.
Monochrome Madness goes in for triptychs this week, thanks to the challenge by Elke at Pictures Imperfect Blog. I’ve not done this before – never even thought of doing a triptych. Gave it a try and found it quite easy to achieve. So I have a couple here. The first relates to a dress horse competition. I think I could improve on the relationship between the images but I’m quite pleased with this first attempt.
Next, Picking out some images from a local 10k run, I’ve put these three together.

So, I’m quite taken by this idea. I’m going to put this in the back of my mind and will bring this out sometime again – who knows when?
Thanks again to Elke and Leanne and all involved with Monochrome-madness. If you like to see Elke’s challenge post, just click here

I just wonder why the image a single tree has such an appeal for me?
This is my submission into Leanne Cole‘s “Monochrome Madness” for this week.
This week Ritva has set a challenge in the Lens-Artists series, to show minimalist photography in monochrome. It’s a great idea for a challenge and is the sort of photography that gets me thinking. I’ve taken one or two yesterday and also been searching my back catalogue for images that would fit the requirement.
So I’m looking for simple clean mono images with only a few elements that in some way have an aesthetic feel to them. I do like this idea.

more imagesStill playing catch-up with Monochrome Madness. Again I missed out that -Movement’ topic recently. I think even if the motion is frozen, the impression of movement can be quite strong.
more imagesPrompted by this week’s Monochrome Madness challenge titled ‘Ruins’, I’m posting to fairly recent images. The lead image above is of the famous Dunure Castle once the seat of the Kennedy family who ruled a large part of South-west Scotland.

there are chains upon his hands and he’s riding upon a train.”James Taylor – ‘Riding on a Railroad’ 1971.
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.
