Monochrome Monday #8

by Calico Crazy | October 5, 2009 |

 

These are from our walk on the Mississippi at sunset last Tuesday. The drift wood, rock, and scrap concrete that cover the bank always fascinate me.

While we were relaxing and waiting for the sun to set I took a few pictures of the weeds that have managed to grow up through the rubble on the embankment. The first one I forgot I had the flash on, the second is without flash; for the first time in a long time, I like the flash one better.

And then just because I can, here is a shot of my girl checking out the rubble and the currents. She would really like to get all the way down to the water’s edge but I’m not so sure about that.

Hi..me too, I really enjoy this type of thing. I know what you mean, sometimes the flash does look good and its worth fooling around. Theses are terrific.
I kept messing around and maybe posted another blog too soon after submitting the mono..funny the animals were in mono/sepia and focal? I was so indecisive) so the other down then re-posted it of the kitten..she’s back up (on top of the dogs nose) Thanks for your comments.

I love driftwood, it’s so wonderfully photogenic. Sweet shot of your daughter looking out over the water too.

Great textures in that first photo! The second and third are so different in feel – the flash one is fascinating.

I tried to comment on your blog twice earlier but it was disconnected in some strange way. But, now I’m here. I really like your first photo. Wood looks great in mono!

I like your black and white photos. I am running a new meme, “Life as I see it.” Wish to see you there.
