Monday a few recent Mono edits

Monday a few recent Mono edits

Good morning, and have a good week, sticking with my habit of sharing a few Monochrome edits to start the week

Starting with this church on 8th and Union, here in New Bedford.

It is the First Unitarian Church, which is Norman Gothic in style, was designed by the distinguished architects Alexander Jackson Davis and Russell Warren. Constructed in 1838 at a cost of about $40,000, it required 7,000 tons of granite, some blocks weighing as much as eight tons.

The style of the interior details is Gothic, yet the spaciousness of the well-lighted interior and the simplicity and precision of the decorative elements have much in common with the Greek revival designs of the same period. In 1868 a chapel was added behind the church.

In 1896 the Parish House was constructed with a style of architecture matching the original church building.

Next up was a morning I took a walk around the port, and probably up into the historic district, it may have been the same day I took the photo of the Church above.

IT was a nice enough sunrise this morning and the clouds were not that dramatic, but when I tried this image in a mono edit, I loved how dramatic it looked

This from another morning, when I had a nice walk along the Harbor barrier walk on top of the hurricane barrier wall, which you can see on this photo, I think the Black and white edit makes the rocks of the barrier wall stand out more

and from another day and another walk at the port, have been there a few times recently its pretty close to home and quicker to get to than most spots, so if I am mucking around doing things on my phone and leave a bit later than planned its quick to get to

Those clouds look angry with the black and white edit. They'd probably look all fluffy and friendly in color!

Good day, Mr. @tattoodjay.

I truly love monochrome photographs; all the shots are beautiful, but honestly, today the photograph of the lovely church completely captivated me.

Excellent photographs!

This selection of photos is wonderful, but there's one that caught my eye. This photo, which I'm replicating, is the one that struck me.

It gives me the following feeling. Under a sky filled with threatening clouds, the sea remains calm and silent. This photo shows that amidst shadows and anxiety, there's always a path that leads home.

That building sure came out nicely didn't it? I love those old Gothic designs, it must have taken a lot of work to carve out those granite blocks and put them in place. I think I would pass on that job! I love the tweaks you made to the colors in that shot too!

The purples came out nicely in the last shot there, all the boats in a purple haze! lol

Great post!
