Focus on Life - Week 8 - Monochromatic

 
Sally's prompt was: MONOCHROMATIC
 
 
"This week look deeper through the lens to the story your photo captures and then process it to one color! 
Or be daring and shoot in B&W (monochrome)."
 
I thought this would be a rather easy challenge but I was wrong.



I played around with my camera settings and some photo editing software programs and tried out new things.


 
 I really like other people's black and white photos and even many photos I see with Sepia and other tones, but not so much my own photos. 

Sepia's not too bad I guess,....
 
  I just really don't have the eye for it.

Not the way I want to, anyway.




That said, it really made me start viewing things in an entirely new way and noticing different colors.


The mountains of AZ. I truly love how the mountains
are every shade of blue!


I liked that!
 
  
So I challenged myself to capture Monochromatic (sort of!) pics in the world around me, with out processing to one color or doing major edits.  And it couldn't be shot in black and white (my own silly rules!).


Pretty much everything is this drab, dead color since we've had such a weird winter.

This was tough - the world is so multi-colored!

Thanks for bringing me out of my comfort zone this week Sally! 




It was definitely a fun perspective this week!






  
Make sure you check out all the other participant's photos!


Just for fun!!
 
 
Until Next Time,
Peace, Love and Monochromatic Challenges!
