Midlife – travel, fun and adventure
I used this photo in a recent Mundane Monday challenge. It's a photo of a solar light in the garden, taken from above. In the original the yellow stands out and now in black and white it looks completely different. I decided to play around with the photo and ended up transforming it into black and white …

I'm really not a cat person, despite having a cat in our family for many years. We used to have two dogs and a rabbit as well but they have long since gone. Luna the cat has outlived them all. Our eldest daughter acquired 'Luna Aphrodite' as a tiny kitten and when she left for …

It's time for Sally D's Mobile Photography Challenge and as it's the third Monday of the month, the theme this week is Black and white. My sun-room is an absolute delight at this time of the year - it's sunny, light, warm, cosy, comfortable, functional and it's my go-to place, my hideaway, my cocoon. I have lots of …

This week, share with us your monochromatic images. Be calculating and creative in choosing your subject and focal point; resist the urge to simply take a photo of something with a single color range. I'm still not sure if this photo fits this week's Daily Post's photo challenge theme of monochromatic. I decided to use my …

I have used this photo before (ages ago) but I really love the way the sky behind the Turning Torso (in Malmo Sweden) is made to look so much more dramatic in monochrome. The tower seems to stretch forever upwards! In colour it was just another photo of the Turning Torso. I called this 'Monochrome …

I don't normally do creepy photos so found this week's photo challenge quite hard. This week, share an image of something creepy. Unsettling. Eerie. Disgusting. Grab a shot of something you find disturbing, but few others do......Try a black-and-white shot of something you’d normally photograph, to give it a moody cast. I decided that this photo …

I'm not really a square! These patterns and shadows on the floor took my fancy. You can check out all my photos so far in one place by clicking the link Every day photo project . Make sure you enjoy an adventure today 🙂
I took this photo last week at the beach quite by accident. The beach house has amazing views over the water and just seemed to stand out from all the other lovely houses. I love the clean lines and the starkness. What do you think? Black and white? Or colour? I'm very interested …

A throwaway shot, or purposefully unfocused? I took this photo last weekend at the Wedding Fair and had to retrieve it from my deleted album as I had dismissed it as too blurry. The only editing I have done is to make it a black and white shot and now there's something about it that grabs …

Well here I am at the end of my 5 day challenge, thanks again to Jill for nominating me. I have enjoyed having a second bite at this challenge, as black and white is not my normal or preferred photography style. Having said that, I have learnt and experimented more this time around and it …

I have always liked dead trees. One of my earliest memories from when I was in primary school is a painting I did for my grandparents - it was a picture of a dead tree and they liked it so much they had it framed and hung it in their entrance hall so that everyone who …

Just for something different! Today I have used a photo of trees in the pine forest for my Day 3 Black and White photo challenge. I like the way the light is filtered through the trees and the straight lines of the rows of trees. I enjoy seeing things in a different colour and today is …

My day 2 photo for the black and white photo challenge is a deliberately over exposed photo of (you guessed it) a sunflower! Are you sick of them yet??? Please don't answer that question 🙂 I love the dramatic feel that the black and white starkness gives to this picture but again I feel I'm being sacrilegious …
