Monochrome Monday - Stuff that grows on trees

in monochromemonday •  7 years ago 

I’m not that familiar with trees and the different ways they flower and produce seeds. There are many interesting looking seeds, flowers and fluff on some of the trees around here. It took a couple of pictures using the macro lens on my Galaxy S9+ that I processed using the black and white film emulation in GIMP.

This first picture doesn’t even look like it is from around here if you ask me. It seems more like it was taken in some hot climate. I like the way the sky and background look and the pods on the tree branch are emphasized and looking spiky like a yucca plant.

This version below has a more subdued look. I think the branches are more of the focus and the way they make a cross.

Below is the original picture as it came out of my Galaxy S9+.

Here’s a black and white picture that I found turned out kind of different. I think the scale of the object is tougher to see without the color. The subject gets hard to see and it leaves a bit of a, “what is that?” feel.

It seems like this would not be the best surface to be walking on without shoes from this black and white version.

Below is the original picture as it came out of my Galaxy S9+. With the color you can see better what the picture is of. The details of grass, moss and the red seed like pod that fell off a tree can be seen on the gravel path:

I think it is fun to see how different images come out with different types of processing. Each picture gives a bit of a different feel although the images are the same. Digital processing lets you have a lot more control over trying different things out. There is even some two and three color Kodachrome emulation modes that can give a kind of old fashioned look that I may try next time. If you want, please let me know what you think.

Beautiful monocrome photography......thanks for sharing and post..upvote done.. @lightsplasher

It is interesting, I like the duality, but I would prefer the colorful ones.

I generally like the colorful ones too but the more I get into different ways of viewing things the more I enjoy the way different effects can make things look. Different media and artists can be enjoyable.

True. While a black and white pix has its own appeal, colour certainly makes lots of difference. And i'm viewing this article on two different browsers. Interestingly, the set of pics on one is very much bolder.

The type of monitor that you view an image on can make a difference too. It makes me wonder a bit about how life like images may become as technologies advance in cameras and processing improves.

This is a very genius question @lightsplasher friends. In my opinion, the picture is just a cause of technological advancement alone. Because without any programs from the best monitors like social media #steemit and other social media programs (DLL) that are more on the social network, images have never been a technological advance in cyberspace. Because with people working to take any picture and upload it in social media and people can get the value or money from their good work. So that's where the life of the image in the camera can be a greatly improved technological advancement.

It is really nice to have social media and rewards for posting different creative works. It does seem like this will encourage the development of new things.

Greetings buddy ,,, there is a flower for you greetings introductions

Nice picture, thanks. :)

It is very different between the original photo with the black and white.
The black and white photo reminds me of the old movie pictures.

I think that is one reason I like doing black and white. It was high technology at the time when film was developed initially.

That top pic really shows the fine details nicely! I have to agree I find the editing to be every bit as important and also creative as the taking the shot! The editing can put so much "feel" into the shot.

It is really a fun thing to get into. So much of what comes from a digital camera is edited in a way by the software when the photo is taken to try to make it look life like. The software doen't aways get things like the white balance, exposure, focus or color adjustments as well as it could so I think hand tweaking with things is justified.

waw incredible photos and amazing way of shooting techniques, maybe I'll give it a try

It is fun to try doing some black and white photos.

very beautiful, incredible photos you have, perfect shots and perfect

Thank you, glad you liked it.

You are welcome, friend

They are some exotic-looking flowers, lightsplasher:)Great capture:)

Thank you, there were a few different types out there with some variation. I like both the natural tree flowers and the one's that have been cultivated.

Me too:)

It does look similar. The one on your post looks like it is on a plant though.

we are very familiar with the trees and we also live under the trees and every morning our activities are sweeping the leaves that fall from the tree.

Many of the paths and sidewalks are not sweep every morning where I live. In fact some of them are rarely if ever swept, but they don't collect too many leaves for some reason. The street cleaner comes by every once in a while.
