Monochrome Madness: Flowing Water Photographing flowing water is the bane of my photographic life. It just doesn’t look as I want it to look. In colour, it’s usually okay if it’s not the focal point. The flaws come more into focus in monochrome. Having said … Continue reading Aqua Spritz
No fixed theme for Monochrome Madness this week. Helmeted guinea fowl seem predestined for monochrome treatment, their red dewlaps and a bit of powder blue around the head notwithstanding. Artists have long recognised this. Guinea fowls look nothing but distinctive – from the front, from … Continue reading Not pig but fowl
he liked to jump. Dawn from The Day After is this week’s prompt giver. “Spring” as a verb (and all it’s synonyms). If you like to come along you can link to Leanne’s site (Monochrome Madness) or to Dawn’s site directly: Monochrome Madness: Spring as … Continue reading Even when he was little
Another “free” week without a given theme at the Monochrome Madness challenge. I picked trains.
Now let’s look at sports. The good news first: If you are the one with the camera in hand you don’t have to do any sport yourself! I’ve not only tried to assemble a variety of sports in the following post but also different approaches … Continue reading Sports
It’s a free week at Monochrome Madness, i.e. no given theme. I decided to show a few of the storks living around here during summer (I think one of them is here permanently).
I can’t tell whether these storks are male or female. I am not alone in that, there is even a children’s song:
What is prancing through our meadow?
The frock is black and white, the stockings red.
It catches frogs, snap, snap, snap.
And it goes clap, clap, clap.
Will you guess who this is?
You think it’s the long leg stork prancing through our meadow?
The frock is black and white, the stockings red.
It catches frogs, snap, snap, snap.
And it goes clap, clap, clap.
No, no, it’s Mrs Stork!
Sarah is the prompter for this week’s Monochrome Madness: The letter P. You can link your welcome contribution to her or to Leanne’s site, the home of all madness, sorry Monochrom Madness. Let’s start with a ponderous subject. That was Poppy, the pug. Just kidding, … Continue reading P is for Pea and other Phings
Monochrome Madness has a free theme this week. And the recent Easter scenes let me think of sheep. I didn’t know sheep could sit like that. Oooops, wait … nevermind.
Oi, that’s difficult! But it is what PR: The Beauty of Minimalism as our guest host has asked for this week. If you want to participate you can link to her post or to Leanne’s Monochrome Madness site. But a minimalist post of mine would … Continue reading No clutter
Monochrome Madness has again a week without a given subject. So, I’ve been playing around with my toys. This pale fellow was sold as a fire salamander which is normally black and yellow. The company usually does fairly accurate plastic toys, albeit toys, but I … Continue reading Plastic amphibians
