Vowels - Ice

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekVforVowels #ClassicMono #photography #BlackAndWhitePhotography #EastCoastKin #Lumix 🎧
A black-and-white abstract close-up showing sinuous, bright white lines curving through a dark, textured field. The lines are the edges of thin ice , flowing vertically with organic, wavy patterns. The background is dark grey and speckled with tiny, granular details of sediment. The depth of field is shallow, blurring the top portion of the image into soft, out-of-focus shapes, while the central lines in the foreground remain distinct and sharp against the moody, high-contrast setting.

#Photography #ClassicMono #BlackAndWhitePhotography #EastCoastKin
A black-and-white photograph of a grand stone entrance, viewed through the heavily blurred, out-of-focus diamond mesh of a chain-link fence in the immediate foreground. The white, ghostly blur of the fence overlays a sharp architectural background featuring wide stone steps leading up to a recessed Gothic archway. The entrance is flanked by tall, fluted columns and deep concentric arches, with the central doorway plunged into pitch-black shadow. The composition creates a high-contrast effect and a sense of inaccessibility.

Went on a mosey around my town yesterday. Been going very gentle with the new eyes!

Between the vertical lines and the clouds, there was no way I could pass this up!

Have a great Monday, y'all!

Love above all. 💙

A woman walks toward a giant metallic heart perched on a hilltop. The sculpture’s rounded silhouette and central indentation warp the reflection of the landscape and cloud filled sky. Sculpture: Richard Hudson’s “Love Me”, 2016 Taken at Donum Estates, Sonoma, CA This is a different view of the sculpture in my earlier post showing a side view of the “pregnant belly” and the reflection in full color.

#Photography #LeftBehind #BlackAndWhitePhotography #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin #StreetPhotography
A vertical black-and-white photograph showing a striped knit hat with a pom-pom draped over the top rail of a park bench. The hat appears abandoned, resting centrally on the backrest. The foreground is filled with the dark, textured slats of the bench seat, which look damp. Behind the bench, a dense wall of foliage and ferns fills the background, creating a secluded and quiet atmosphere. A black-and-white photograph featuring the base of a thick, textured tree trunk centered in a grassy field. Leaning against the foot of the tree is a rectangular print depicting an illuminated suspension bridge, resembling the Manhattan Bridge, at night. The foreground is dominated by the ground, which is covered in grass, scattered fallen leaves, and twigs, creating a contrast between the natural setting and the urban imagery of the abandoned print. A high-contrast, black-and-white photograph depicting a dense, dark hedgerow filling the upper portion of the frame. Below the hedge, a bank of tangled weeds, ivy, and grass covers the ground. Nestled in the vegetation on the lower right side is an abandoned-looking football ball, its geometric pattern contrasting with the chaotic, organic textures of the foliage. The image has a grainy, film-like quality.

Vowels - Adam Ant

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekVforVowels #mobilephotography #photography #Music #EastCoastKin #Lumix 🎧
A dark, moody concert photograph bathed in intense magenta and purple light. On stage, two musicians are visible. The central figure, dressed in black stage wear, is positioned in a low, dynamic stance with their left knee bent, facing slightly right and down toward the audience. They are wearing a distinctive hat, possibly a tricorn with a green and gold element. To the right and slightly behind them, another musician, also in dark attire, plays a white electric guitar, illuminated by a spotlight. The stage is filled with thick purple fog, with beams of light cutting through it from the back and above. Speakers and equipment are scattered in the foreground and sides. A few shadowy figures from the audience are visible at the very bottom edge of the frame. The overall atmosphere is dramatic and high-contrast.

droplet

#Photography #MinimalMonday #BlackAndWhitePhotography #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin #Nature
A high-contrast, black and white macro photograph. A single, clear water droplet hangs from the sharp tip of a branch that extends diagonally down from the top right corner. A thin, curved strand, possibly a piece of the branch, is suspended from the bottom of the droplet, arcing gently upwards. The background is almost entirely black, with subtle, soft bokeh highlights visible in the upper right section, contrasting sharply with the bright, detailed focus on the needle tip and the water droplet.

River's Edge

#Photography #Scape #ReflectionsAndTides #BlackAndWhitePhotography #StreetPhotography #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin #Lumix
A square-format, high-contrast black and white photograph of a pedestrian walkway running alongside a river. A metal railing composed of vertical bars stretches from the foreground right to the middle ground left. The low winter sun casts long, stark shadows of the railing bars across the dark, textured pavement of the walkway, creating a strong diagonal leading line. To the left, the dark water of the river reflects the light and railing. In the background, a white metal truss bridge spans the river, and bare trees are visible on the opposite bank. The sky is bright with some streaky clouds. A faint, elongated shadow of a person taking the photograph is visible on the walkway in the lower right.

A high-contrast black and white photograph showing the base of a tree trunk casting a long, dark shadow across a grassy park. A beam of bright sunlight dramatically illuminates a patch of the textured grass to the left of the trunk. The bottom third of the frame is dominated by a cobblestone path. The image has a moody, chiaroscuro effect, emphasizing the textures of the stone and grass.

A high-contrast, square-format black and white photograph showing two figures, one taller and one shorter, leaning against a dark metal railing that curves in wavy shapes. They are standing on the riverbank looking out over a river. Across the dark water, the far bank has a weir, and a cityscape rises with various buildings, including what appears to be a church spire in the center distance. The sky is bright with light clouds. Bare tree branches frame the scene on the left and right.

A black-and-white square format photograph of a mountain bike locked to a metal U-shaped bike stand. The bike's front wheel and rear wheels have been damaged and bent. The bike sits on a paved walkway composed of small square blocks, scattered with fallen leaves. Behind the bike, a horizontal metal railing separates the path from a dark, reflective river or canal. The background shows a riverbank lined with dense trees and foliage. The image has high contrast, emphasizing the textures of the pavement and the metallic sheen of the bike rack.

A high-contrast, black and white photograph of a classical fountain sculpture at night. The sculpture features two small, winged cherubs. The foreground cherub is facing forward and slightly down, holding a mythological creature and has prominent icicles hanging from its body and the creature's head, indicating cold weather. The other cherub is positioned behind and to the left, facing away, and a stream of water is pouring from a spout near its base. Water droplets splash and spray around the figures. The figures are dramatically lit from the right, emphasizing texture and creating deep shadows, with a dark, indistinct background showing architectural features like windows and the outline of a building.
