Patti’s challenge is to show shadows and reflections in monochrome. You may be thinking that black and white are two colors. Patti did some research and explains that black and white photos are really different shades of gray so they are considered monochrome for this challenge.
Our last challenge was from Donna who asked us to show messages in our photography. In my response I asked for guesses on where we spent our vacation last week. Those of you who guessed Florida are exactly right! We were on the Gulf Coast of Florida in Crystal River to be exact. I took these first three images while we were there and converted them to monochrome for Patti’s challenge.


The rest of my images are from some of places we have wandered over the years.



Many thanks to Patti for her challenge Lens-Artists Challenge #235 – Shadows and Reflections in Monochrome
I really like the last image with it’s moodiness, and great light on the mountain tops.

Tina, many thanks! The storm over the Colorado mountains is one of my favorites. It was fun experimenting with monochrome on that one. Our flight seeing trip to see Mt. Denali was one of the highlights of our first trip to Alaska.
