As you can see it is another theme and our host this week is Brian from Bushboys World. His choice for our theme was AT THE BEACH.
It is a great theme, though I had it in my head that it was going to be By the Sea, or By the Beach, so when I realised it was At the Beach I had to have a rethink about what images I had.
I don’t tend to photograph beaches, or so I thought. However, as I was going through my archives I realised that I had lots of photos taken at them.
These photos are all from beaches around Victoria, my state, and were taken as far back as 2012 and much later.
None of my images are just beaches, and they all have rocks, but hey there is sand there too. What is the definition of a beach? So sand or stones, and all mine have sand, so I’m good.
I hope you enjoy my At the Beach images. Can you tell which ones were sunsets or sunrises?
This is the first time all the photos, except for one, have ever been shown in monochrome.
I want to thank Brian for being our host this week. I would love you all to go and check out his post as well. Remember if you want to participate as well please include a link to his post.

I don’t do these in colour, the challenge is doing them in monochrome.

That’s interesting, thank you for saying that Michael.
Nice images🎸🎸

Welcome dear friend 🌹🌹

Love the brooding atmosphere of this shop, Leanne.
Thank you Tish.
Leanne, this was a great theme that Brian gave us. I did not think I’d have time to add an entry, but here it is:

Yeah, Brian chose well. So glad you were able to join us Egidio.
I find beaches with rocks or other features much more interesting than just sand, so I think these are all great Leanne 🙂 I especially like the ones that show the movement of the waves too.
I agree Sarah, though the way Brian did it with the close ups was good too. Thank you so much Sarah.
Wow!!
Thank you IJ.
Love the calmness of the beach. Amazing shots as always, Leanne.
Thank you Teresa.
Great atmospheric shots. I shan’t join in this week (or next) as I’m away from home, so hitting ‘pause’.
Thank you Margaret, ooh sounds good that you have got away, a break is always nice, see you back soon.
I like your moody shots. Brian’s details and your wide angle shots, a great combination!
Thank you Elke, we approached very differently.
Stunning images, as always!
Thank you Egidio.
ethereal
Thanks Beth.
Your moody ocean and beach photos are lovely, Leanne.
Thank you so much Denny.
These are great photos and no I can’t really tell sunrise from sunset but could have a guess knowing a bit about Victoria. The last two photos didn’t show for me.
I had fun but mucked up my post schedule so re-did it so it posted this morning.
Thanks Leanne for letting me host.
Thank you Brian, I think it is hard to tell too. Sorry the last two didn’t show. That seems to happen from time to time then it fixes itself.
No mucking up anything, it worked out fine. You’re welcome and thank you for our host, hope to see you doing it again.
Great photos, Leanne! I call the processing either Grayscale or Black and White, what is the difference between black and white and Monochrome?
Thank you John. I suspose technically there are black and white images, but we called the challenge monochrome because it was less words, plus monochrome means you can add a tone to it as well. So sepia or what not. I love adding tones to my black and white images.
Ahh, thank you for this, Leanne. I am colour blind so maybe that is why I ask you. 😊
You’re welcome John. 😀
Lovely swirls.
Thank you Dawn.
They are nice images! Especially that header image…very cool👍. Best…Jay😊
Thank you so much, I was surprised by the header image. I was surprised at how much better it looked in monochrome. 😀
You are welcome😊. Yes, they look great! almost surreal, as if they were lit under some sort of dome or large studio…the monochrome has a great effect. Very moody and would make good wall art. Well done👏. Jay
I like that look, something I strive for really, so it is good to hear you like it too. Thank you so much Jay.
