Monochrome Monday – 1

Just for fun, something light for Mondays: let’s go to black and white! There’s always something captivating about reducing an image to its basic components and stick to the variety of black and white tones that we can express in it.

Here’s a recent one that kind of stood out to me…

B&W Leaf under Red Light

The fun part of shooting this is that it was lit up with a red spotlight, which provided rather interesting contrast on a green leaf. The resultant structure really pops and produces a pleasing effect.

    Fascinating how the light makes the green leaf look like an intriguing wooden structure…

      Indeed. Difference in light color affects how it’s captured by the camera and the level of contrast we get in the image.

      Our eyes have similar characteristics; eg blue blocking lenses create a higher contrast and better definition
