Monochrome Madness

Monochrome Winter
Backyard Exploring

Saturday morning was perfect for being outside. The sun was shining, there was little wind and the temps were heading toward 40+. I realized I have lost some of that excitement and naiveté with my photography.  I’m looking for that one great image and not exploring all the hidden images around me.  I use to explore more when I first started.  So I went out exploring…

I also have abandoned some of the unique series that I started and it was time to get back into those as well.  As I mentioned yesterday I am currently influenced by my reading of an Ansel Adams book, so I present Monochrome Winter continued…

The Chicken Coop

Backyard

Every time I see the sunlight hit this tree in the backyard I get my camera. There is something about the way the branches and leaves hang with the back lighting that catches my eye. I am never sure of the view I want to capture or how best to show what I see. The other night I was in the same situation. Playing around in the yard and field after dinner once again brought me here. I decided to attempt once again this tree but this time I included the farmer’s chicken coop next door. I’m still not sure this is the final version but it is a good start…
