monochrome monday — shadows in the sunlight

in monochromemonday •  7 years ago 

presentiment is that long shadow on the lawn
indicative that suns go down;
the notice to the startled grass
that darkness is about to pass
Emily Dickinson

day after day
pictures of infinite beauty

Great shadow lines!!

It's all your influence. I didn't pay attention to shadows really before. :)

Ha!! I do like taking the blame for this great photo!!😀

Isn't it nice to know you drew creativity out of me?? :) I checked your shadow photos and they all are good.

Thank you- I appreciate that so much! Did you see steemcleaners posted on that last photo?

Yes!! I hope he learns.

Great photos and poetic accompaniment:)

Thank you @prydefoltz.

I bet they still use that green house, dont they?

Yes it's where they grow their vegees and plants for the outdoor market. Can hardly wait. It's my favorite place to visit.

long shadows look so dramatic in monochrome

They do.....that's what I took them just for this monochrome kind of day.

Those are both nice monochrome photos, but I really like the second one. Besides having a nice composition, the wood grain in that door is great! I wonder what kind of knotted tree that came from.

Yes...it was all about the wood for me too.....I didn't notice it until I edited. I'd love these doors in my house somewhere. If I remember, I'll ask the owners when I go to the market.

very nice black and white photos, keep being creative ! :)

Thanks @weberh8. I'm trying, I'm tryin'

I love the way the grass looks. Like little mountains ready to puff up. I love the shadows, the sun shining on the metal structure. Reminds you, the sun is up. Beautiful shots!

Oh they do look like little mountains.....grass always looks puffy like this in the springtime doesn't it. I loved the shadows too that's what drew me to the structures plus the glaring sun bouncing off of the steel beams.

Nice, jealous of all those greenhouses!

Greenhouse envy is so common now. :)

good photos, remember us to the work we are doing and make the best of our time in working

Gorgeous monochrome captures!

It's a natural scenery

I love the writers / book chapters you share.
your photograph is as strong as always technically! congratulations my friend

I'm glad you enjoy the quotes. I know you like literature. Thanks for liking my photos!

I wish I could understand the monochrome idea, but I think I love it, it is really beautiful.

Black and white is a good choice when the color in a photo serves only as a distraction from the message you want the image to convey.

I tend to look at the message in a photo whether color or B&W. I like the tones and shades in these photos because it highlights and focuses on the structures. If I used the color photo you might be distracted by the sunlight bouncing all over the metal and miss the shadows and lines etc.

Hope that helps you :)

Yes, it was really helpful. Thanks a lot

Those are beautiful captures and I love the shadows you caught.

Thanks Deb. This time, on purpose, I thought of all that. Usually I just take a picture without really thinking about a lot except that I like it. @melinda010100 got me thinking shadows and now that's all I see - so it's all her doing :)
