I am trying to learn some new software that will hopefully help me with my time-lapses so processing photos has gone by the wayside a bit.
I decided to look at my media page here and put in the word monochrome and see what images come up. There were a lot of them.
One of the problems with having taken photos for so many years is that it is always hard to work out which images I love the most. Another problem is that I forget about images that I have done in the past. I love going back over older posts to see what I can find.
Do you ever do that?

Such lovely captures!
Thank you.
Beautiful shots., they don’t need color to be vivid. Makes me miss my good camera.
Thank you Julie, very true. Where is your good camera?
You are welcome. Battery pack overheated and fried the camera.
Oh no that sounds so bad, I’ve never heard of that happening before.
Nice
Thank you.
Wow wunderbare Bilder.
Thank you.
Beautiful monos – every one!
Thank you.
Stunning B&W images!!
Thank you Amy.
Sometimes I do. It usually happens when I’m looking for something for whatever reason, but there are times when I might look to rephotograph something or if I’m looking to see what settings I used to capture something similar.
I have a vague memory of having seen the trees and wharf before. If I remember correctly, you shared them a good few years back.
They are all good reason, I like the idea of rephotographing something and see how you did it before.
Yeah, I shared them quite a while a go, almost 10 years, they were from 2014. Thank you.
Loved for a reason! Oldies can indeed be goodies. (And how these monochromes float on that black background)
Oh yes, very much for a reason. Thank you Penny, and thank you for saying that about the background. I like black backgrounds, actually I generally just love black.
Ages back I did a street-art book for myself (Blurb template), and positioned it on black… how those images popped! but then text is harder to read, so: less text, in larger font size & preferably serif
I have a couple of friends who do that, books for themselves. I know that black backgrounds can be hard to read text on, but I don’t know what to do, I have a basic font and have made it as large as I can without it looking silly. Sorry.
I especially like your church photo. Here’s my contribution, 4 churches: https://gwhphotos2.wordpress.com/2023/08/08/monochrome-madness-some-favourite-oldies-august-8-2023/
Thank you, that church was so good.
Striking images Leanne. I like the jetty best 🙂
Thank you Brian. I was just saying that I was lucky to get that shot when I did, it was destroyed soon after by a boat, completely gone.
Wonderful. I particularly like the Sullivan bay one, exceptional shot.
That is a special one Sofia, not long after it was taken a boat ran into it and it was completely destroyed. Lucky I got the shot when I did. Thank you.
I love the photos, Leanne!
That’s wonderful JOhn, I”m sure you have seen them before, thank you.
It doesn’t matter, they are always beautiful. ❤️☺️🇦🇺
😊😁😊
These oldies are really wonderful 🙂

The ‘Laurent’ would be my favourite. Here’s my contribution

One of my favourites Brian. Thank you.
I love the trees the best because I am partial to nature scenes and this one is so nicely processed.
Those trees are great Sherry, thankfully they are very close to home. Thank you.
Great choices
Thank you Beth.
I think it’s really important to look back on your previous stuff.
Sometimes I think, “Uh, what was I thinking?!” and sometimes I find something previously overlooked.
I hear you Matt, I have a lot of those images, ones I still can’t bear to look at. Thank you.
I also forget what I posted at times 🙂
Good to hear I’m not the only one Chris, it is hard to remember them all. Thank you.
I clean up my posts at times, and keep a copy of it on my NAS, but even then I tend to forget what I did 🙂
I’ve never done that, seems like too big a task, lol
