Lens Artists Photo Challenge #265 – Black and White and Monochrome

Our challenge from Anne is for Black and White and/or Monochrome images.

Monochrome photos contain only variations of one color. Monument Valley in Utah was the filming location for many old western movies. I thought it would be fun to bring back memories of those old western movies so I chose a few images from Monument Valley and converted them to sepia tones.

Some of those movies were directed by John Ford and starred John Wayne. In the image above John Ford’s Point is in the foreground with Monument Valley in the background. The next three images reminded me of other scenes in the movies.

Black and white images contain only the colors of back and white. I chose three images from Florida and Georgia and converted them from color to black and white to add some drama to the landscapes.
