Triptychs

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.

You can click on these images to get larger presentations – unusual feature on this blog.

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

In the market, frying onions to go on the hotdogs. Where was this taken? Well, I think this is a scene that could be taken at any market anywhere in the world, with a some exceptions. All around the planet, there’s folk frying onions.

I’m attaching this to the Monochrome-Madness challenge for this week, titled ‘Markets’ it’s being hosted by Sarah at the ‘Travel with Me’. To see Sarah’s amazing collection of market images click here

Monochrome Madness – The Old Mill

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.

Monochrome Madness – Window

One of my favourite mono images. It’s one of the many exotic windows at the Scottish Parliament building in Edinburgh, showing a reflection of the Queen’s Gallery at Holyrood Palace.
