So from the photos I took last week I thought I might try a couple in monochrome.
I’m still uncertain about the whole flowers and monochrome, but I think it is something I need to try more.
Participating in Monochrome Madness
If you would like to participate in this challenge please post photos on your blog and use the tag Monochrome-Madness, as then I can use the reader to see what you post.
There is a quality about the shape and form that feels magnified without colour, but the sharpness is key. I love seeing how you allow your flowers to emerge in your photography.
Thank you Trish, I am on the fence about sharpness, I mean, I don’t like out of focus flowers, but I like softness, it is something I’m working on.
Thanks for this amazing monochrome Monday. Anita
it isn’t monday Anita.
Monochrome
I think these monochrome versions look slightly spooky, almost Triffid-like! I’ve edited some of my Paris shots into monochrome: https://www.toonsarah-travels.blog/gallery-seeing-more-of-paris-in-black-and-white/
Interesting observation Sarah, I can live with spooky. Thank you.
I tried last week with the flower. This week back to architecture š. Here it is:

I am still behind PR, but will try and get back to have a proper look. I’m a bit obsessed with the garden right now, especially since I’m feeling back to my self. With it being Spring there is so much to do.
Enjoy the Spring š
I will, thanks. š
I have a few B&W flowers in the folder and am never content with the results. I might have another go at posting one next week.
These are good examples Leanne, but can see why you aren’t sure of the results š
I don’t know what it is Brian, it is because we don’t pick the right flowers or what, I am going to have to try more and work out what it is. I have seen some really beautiful monochrome flowers and would like to get some myself. Thank you.
Dear Leanne
we prefer clear lines in monochrome pictures. Your right picture, softly, doesn’t work that well for us in BW.
Thanks and all the best

No problem, I know that we all have different tastes and likes. I like the softness, so works for me.
Thank you.
I like your spider flower. I believe that if the flower has beauty of shape, then it can work well in B&W. I think my mushroom shot looks as good in B&W as it does in glorious color.

Thank you Brian, I think it is actually still a bud. Will have to see what it looks like when it blooms. I will make sure I take a look, though commenting isn’t always easy. It is all new.
