The best of the day, in which for reasons I am not sure of, I was playing with with monochrome:

Some of the most ionic photographs are monochrome. So much more impactful if you get them right. I recommend you try using high contrast, really black and white, but also low contrast where everything is in muted tones of grey. Both can produce superb images you probably don’t want to be doing both on the same outing.
Hark at me! You’d think I was a photographer :-). I no longer even possess a camera other than the one built in to my mobile. But I still miss my Olympus OM1. OlymPusses actually because for a while I owned two. Lovely machines.
Thanks
And they had a cult status
Bring on the economics photography competition.
But no birds??!!
Monochrome photography wouldn’t have captured their essence. I’ll go back to the Dyfi ospreys (in shades of cream and brown) one day.
I am not trying to take pictures of birds
I do not have the kit, for a start
Do you shoot in mono, or convert to colour afterwards? I find that having electronic view finder/live view LCD with camera set to mono helps in choosing mono shots that work well.
Can this blog allow readers to post photos? Might be fun (once a month?) to have a diversion from politics.
Hi
I shot these in mono. Actually looking at the world in that way demands I look for something different – like textures – in it – and that is a lot of the fun in this.
But sorry – your suggestion sounds like an increase in my work load, not a reduction, and that is not watt I need.
Thanks
