Mono Monday a few trees

Another weekend has raced on by and a new week begins and may it be a good one for us all, as is my habit I like to startt he week with some Mono images and today is no exception to that and I have decided to go with trees as the them for this weeks post

Starting with this one in buttonwood Park

Now some have asked if I take the photos in B&W or edit them from color photos and also do I know when I take a photo whether its going to be a b&W image

All the photos I take out on my walks I take in color and in RAW mode ie where the camera does no processing of the images, so that gives me more options of how I choose to edit them,

but that said some shots as I take them I pictutre them in my head as a mono edit and this next photo is such a time and what led to todays theme of trees for a post
the other day I was taking a walk by the pond in Buttonwood Park, now it wasnt a sunny day was a bit overcast and when I saw this tree it had a moody feel to me and I took this shot knowing i would edit it in B&W and bring out the moodiness I felt

Now not all Mono image shave to be moody in fatc I think its a minotiry I go for the moody feel, most are brighter perhaps reflecting my mostly Mr positive peronality such as this next one, on one of the paths in Buttonwood Park

It's a good day to see a cool environment and see the trees from the reflection of the water. It's quite beautiful and wall frame worthy

Oh, that willow in the first shot is just great! When I was growing up our neighbor across the street had some huge willow trees. They were quite impressive. The new owners cut them all down now.

Yeah, they are pretty fragile though, I think the concern was damage to the house. I understand, but it was still a bit sad.

Interesting to try different types of photos in mono. I think the reflection shot at the pond came out really well and I don't know if I would have even thought of it in mono.

Great shots! Is that a tombstone in the first picture? You have a great eye for photography! You seem to frame and balance most of your pictures really well.

a tombstone would be cooler than what it actually is a rubbish bin

My favorite is the second to last. It reminds me of the infrared prints I used to make decades ago!
