Monochrome Madness – Lighthouse in different compositions
I thought I might try some different compositions or points of view that I took of the lighthouse at Aireys Inlet when I went away with my mum. It is a great lighthouse to photograph […]
Monochrome Madness – Bridges from San Francisco
One thing I’m finding when I try to find photos for videos is that I have thousands and thousands of photos from the last 10+ years and in many folders there are photos that I […]
Monochrome Madness – Power of the waves
I love waves, I think most of us do. There is nothing like waves that are strong and fierce. I wish I could photograph them more often like this. The black and white really shows […]
Monochrome Madness – Old Church Halls
I love being able to drag out old photos that I love and show them again. That is what I have for you today. This is a small country church hall. It was found when […]
Monochrome Madness – Old cemeteries and gravestones
I don’t know about you but I think old cemeteries and gravestones are the perfect subjects for monochrome. What do you think? I think it has something to do with the age and if they […]
Monochrome Madness – To tone or not to tone
When I was going through my folders today I found two images of the New York skyline taken at night from the top of the Empire State Building. I had made them black and white […]
Monochrome Madness – Banyule Flats in black and white
After showing some photos last week of Banyule Flats in infrared I thought maybe I should show you some normal images that are black and white of the same area. I have chosen photos of […]
Getting to where I hated photography – Part 4 of my photography journey
It has been good to hear how many of you are enjoying this series. I’m not sure how many more posts there will be after this, maybe one or two which should bring us up […]
Monochrome Madness – The first Apostle
I have found another Apostle to show you today for Monochrome Madness. At the moment this one and one a bit further around are much harder to see. They are doing work at the viewing […]
Monochrome Madness – Along the coast
I’ve just arrived home from my trip along the Great Ocean Road with an old friend and some new ones. It is always busy when you get home so I thought for this week’s Monochrome […]
Monochrome Madness – Capturing Dragons
This is another one from the archives. It was taken in 2015 down at Rosebud at a place that the locals call Dragon’s Head. It really does look like a dragon’s head, don’t you think? […]
Monochrome Madness – Clouds over the city
It is no secret that I have a massive archive of images and I don’t see any reason why I shouldn’t dip into them when I need a photo for something. This is what I […]
Monochrome Madness – Imitating Ansel Adams
If you want to do black and white or monochrome landscape images the photographer we all seem to want to look at is Ansel Adams. He is the grandmaster to most of us. One of […]
Monochrome Madness – ON1 and Photoshop
I’ve been going through older photos and looking for ones that I can convert to Monochrome. I have a massive catalogue of images and one of the problems is sometimes where to start. For some […]
Monochrome Madness – Sculptures along a freeway
This is another image that I have shown before in colour. I have always wondered how it would look in monochrome, so here it is. I do want to work on images from scratch, but […]
Monochrome Madness – From colour to monochrome
Today I thought I might try converting an image that I had already processed in colour. Though I have just discovered that I have already processed it once, but this conversion is different, I think. […]
Christmases Past – Monochrome Madness a touch a colour
One of the things we used to do with Monochrome Madness each month we would also do a challenge. In 2014, I think it was we had a challenge that was about doing a monochrome […]
Monochrome Madness – Phillip Island in monochrome
Last week I spent a few days on Phillip Island. There was no doubt that while the trip was to celebrate a friend’s birthday, it was also going to involve visiting some places and taking […]
Monochrome Madness – Previous entries
I’m away at the moment, but more on that later. I ran out of time to do something for Monochrome Madness this week, so I thought I would take a look at some entries that […]
Monochrome Madness – Brighton library lit up
This last weekend I was able to get out and take some photos. I don’t seem to do it as much as I used to. Still, I do love it when I can. I have […]
