For this entry into the #Monomad community contest, I challenged myself to take a new look at my landscape photos—ones that originally relied heavily on color to create their impact. Stripping them of their hues, I wanted to see if they could still hold the same depth of feeling in monochrome. Not necessarily the same feeling, but at least the same intensity.
The first image pulls you into a quiet, almost eerie evening. The silhouette of the trees against the fading light feels timeless. Without the distractions of color, the scene becomes about shapes, shadows, and the weight of silence. This photo is a whisper rather than a shout.
In the second, the drama of the sky takes center stage. The sweeping clouds and soft fog rolling over the fields feel vast and endless, yet grounded in simplicity. It’s amazing how monochrome intensifies texture and lets the sky tell its story without competing with bold colors. For me, this one was the most difficult to work with
The third image is a lonely road, leading who knows where. In black and white, it’s not just a road, it becomes a metaphor. For what? That’s up to the viewer. Adventure, solitude, or maybe just a long walk to clear your head.
The fourth picture is all about atmosphere. The fog enveloping the path makes the scene feel surreal, as though you’re about to wander into a dream—or maybe a mystery novel.

Hello @borniet.
Please do not forget to add the #monomad tag to your post (together with the other tags).
It would be a shame not to include one of these images in our selection tomorrow. 🙂
Thanks for reminding me! I’ve added the tag! 🙏😉

@cryptoyzzy! @borniet Wants to spread Hope! so I just sent 1 HOP to your account on behalf of @borniet.
Since we think the world can use more Hope, you can now already start spreading Hope yourself!

Very nice monochrome shots, @borniet! I only recently explored monochrome photography, and boy was I glad that I did, because it was a whole different, amazing animal! I wish you indomitable success in the contest, @borniet! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Thank you very much!!!
Well, I started my photographic adventures in Monochrome, and with developing those in the old darkroom with my parents, as you know. Which is kind of the reason why I love extreme colors that much now I guess :-D lol
Monochrome photography is indeed a whole different world, a different way of looking at things. And it opens up totally different moods!

Of course, you're always most welcome! Ah, OK, that makes sense, and I understand! Oh my goodness yes, contrasts in shading and texture stand out so strongly! I may get back into it at some point, especially if motivated by a contest! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Well, that was my motivation as well, the Monomad contest :-) Which is a great contest, and a great reason to go back to black and white! ;-)

I tried monochrome for the first time for a Hive photo contest too. I'm slowly branching out in terms of photo contests. I may be posting to the Visual Shots community, and delegating HP to their curation account, soon. Their contest pays in HIVE. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Now that's another great tip there!!! ;-) I do delegate to them, but I haven't posted in their contest yet, and only once or twice in their community. Will post there more as well! Might even start today ;-) It's often quite hard to decide in which community to post...

That does sound like a great idea om selling the airdrops and buying HIVE, and it sure will give a lot more benefits than any of those coins. It's astounding how few solid crypto projects that there are. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
