Monochrome Images for the Month of February, 2023
1

February is here and time to show your monochrome images for this month. Remember that all Sigma Cameras and lenses are welcome and an occasional image made with other cameras pulled from your archive. Try to limit you post to 3 images and to give your post a title so that comments will be properly directed.

Lets shoot some monochrome images and have some old school fun.

Image was made a Red Rock Lake when there was no wind giving a mirror reflection in the lake and clear view of the pine trees, rocks and mountains in the background.  The strand clouds added mystery to the image.  Sometime Mother Nature smiles on you!

Enjoy!

Thanks Vitee:  this is one of my favorite shots from hundreds that I have taken of Red Rocks Lake!  AS I said above, sometimes Mother Nature smiles at you and brings all the elements together at one time

Flowing Curry Tree

18" high, taken 3 years to grown from a 4" shoot, wintering indoors by a window.

Window light provides beautiful illumination for photography - on an overcast day - soft and directional.

sdQ + 30mm Art, Monochrome development in SPP.

Some photos of Whitby from 35mm film. 1970s I think.

Very nice shot Larry.. if you could add one more (where there is more foreground in front of the lake and less sky?) .. do you have another one?
Beautiful 👍

Snow and Shadows

While driving through Red Rocks Park after a snow fall, I saw these rocks partially covered in snow and thought the contrast between the light and dark area made a nice composition.  

Enjoy!

Excellent. Ansel Adams would be pleased to produce that.

Thanks Don, but Ansel was said to make rocks look like people and people to look like rocks!  I hope I am not following in his foot steps

Thanks Peter, your comments are appreciated!  

I will check my archive for other photos taken that day and see if I have one with more foreground.

Moab Utah...This shot was taken on one of the busiest days in Moab and at a busy time. The two lights on each end of the block were in sync and a few cars had pulled out and left this jeep all alone. I grabbed my camera and ran out into the street (DP1).

I know it is all subjective and personal, but I like this one. It has a little bit of art to it, some mystery, asks questions of the viewer, not too plain and prosaic as B&W can sometimes be if not enough attention is paid as to why a mono presentation.
