A mono sort of Monday

A mono sort of Monday

Those that follow me probably know that I try and get out for a morning walk most days ( when its not too cold i.e. in Winter that will change) but this last week the weather really hasn't been kind enough to allow that to happen, most days it has been raining around the time of sunrise, the exception being Thursday after the storm, I did try heading out as it wasn't raining but the wind was gusting to 35mph which made the real feel not far of freezing and I called it quits and went back home to be warm.

That morning when I got home I guess the not getting out walking was getting to my mood and I edited the shots I am sharing in this post a selection of Mono images, now also those who follow me will know I seldom do a conventional Black and white image when I do a mono edit and these photos are no exception each in a slighter different color tone.

These are all taken on a walk in the Acushnet Sawmill park, which I have shared shots of before mostly in color.
Often I never see anyone in the park, but this day this guy was enjoying the view over the water

The Acushnet sawmill is beside some private properties and at spots it is marked clearly and closed off to keep us in the trail and not head into private property

Another shot on one of the trails, after rain one had to walk one step as in some parts it can get slippery with the trucks and tree roots

I am guessing after heavy rain this part of the trail must get covered with water, and hence these raised wooden walkway bits, but I have never seen the ground more than damp on my visits there and I always walk beside them

And a last shot with a bit of reflection that to me has a sort of mystical or magical feel to it

I love your Mono Monday posts, JJ 😁
The tree roots across the path look cool, but most I love the last photo in today's post: the dead tree looks stunning with its reflection in the little stream - great photo JJ 👍😀

Thanks your always so kind my friend
Are you back to work this week?

!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)
!invest_vote

It's always a pleasure for me, my friend 😃

No, I'm not back at work yet. Today is a holiday here and tomorrow would be only a half day to work, so I take the other 4 hours off, and I have decided to take the rest of the week also off, because after a week at home I have begun to feel good without my work 😁


!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)
!invest_vote

That’s great enjoy your super long weekend I hope you get some nice weather

Ps did you get the painting done

!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)
!invest_vote

Thank you JJ, tonight we'll get rain that will last till tomorrow, says the weatherman, but then it should be nice again.

Yep, we finished the painting work in the afternoon and it looks better now. I like painting when a room is empty, but when the room is full of furniture and two cats are running around ... 😅

Ok one day of rain isn’t to bad good luck for the rest of the week

!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)
!invest_vote

Yep, one day doesn't matter, but according to the weatherman it should already rain, but it is still dry ... the rain is late, or the weatherman is wrong 🤣


Cheers and !BEER

Thanks for bringing us this beauty on this new day of a new month. Thanks sir.

Surprisingly, monochrome is not a shade of black and white in art. Monochromatic color refers to a color scheme that is comprised of variations of one color. You can use any color to create a monochromatic color scheme. For example, adding white to red creates pink, adding black to red creates maroon, etc. Then, you could have a monochromatic color scheme of pink, red, and maroon.

This works with any color and you always, always do the perfect monochrome shots!

They look as moody as the weather was, despite how nice it was today. I like how the tone can make it say whatever you want!

Have a great day, JJ!

Thanks fir that info on mono I always thought it meant a single tone of color so I learnt something new today

Your photos make me want to go fishing everytime. I can only imagine a place like that in LA. I need to drive minimum 4 hours for a good lake.

Wow that’s a long way to go fishing
Hope you can get some fishing in soon

There are a few close places 40 min drive but it's man made. It's like fishing in a parking lot.

Ohh that’s just not the real thing

They are beautiful.
The mono shots worked wonderfully with your edits!
I will attempt to download (again) Photoshop.
I don't know if I'll be successful.

Thanks and good luck

I'll do it tonight!

Wow I love this

Thanks 🙏
Have a great day

Lovely pictures, the mono effects really capture a mood. Have you ever considered using a film camera with black & white film?

I started with film cameras in the 70s my uncle had a developing lab that was how I learnt a lot about photography
But yes I have been thinking of picking up a classic film camera and taking it out occasionally

I'm sorry you have to stay home, however you have edited very good images. congratulations

Thanks kindly your support is appreciated

Have a great day

It's true that mono does not need to be black and white; it's really just a gradient of any particular colour in the photo, from 0-255.

I love the sepia of the trees!

Thanks, I guess I am just one who doesn't like to confirm tot he norm, so seldom B&W but all kinds of shades of mono LOL

you're so cool, like really cool seriously the pictures are inspiring in themselves...and they re lovely, i love your walk out, and you're good with the editing stuff, am saving up to buy a new phone by december so i'd take cool photos and make stories of them...am a big fan @tattoodjay✌✌💕👏💕

Have a great day
