Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: New Photos, Any topic
I’m not always sure where black and white — also known as monochrome — ends and color begins. There are a lot of choices now that bring back some part of the original color, but not all the color or its intensity.
Four of these pictures are classic monochrome. The final one is “transparent,” tonality which uses part of the original colors but unsaturated.
Not sepia exactly. Peaches in a color closer to chocolate

Detailed sepia — the bench on the lawn by the river at River Bend
Transparent monochrome: Flowers along the edge of the river

Excellent photos, Marilyn. Love the tonality and the similar-to sepia effect. They add something special to the images. 🙂

There are so many variations on monochrome these days. I’m trying to break away a bit from classic black and white without completely abandoning it.

Garry takes more pictures than I do these days. He can walk farther and he is more flexible.

I’m trying to find that balance between monochrome and almost monochrome. At least I’m having fun trying 😀

I love it when you can get a mirror image of something in the water.

You can do that in the river pretty often. Parts of it are like a mirror and it can be hard to tell which part of the picture belongs up and what does down.

I like the lonely bench

There’s something about an empty bench on an empty lawn that seems to say something about loneliness. Of course five minutes later, I was sitting in it 😀
