Nature, bursting with color that captures the eye. As part of stretching and growing in my photography that is in its infancy, I struggle with the conversion of color to black and white. I’ve decided to try something a little new, that those of you who might follow me on Instagram, can see. I’ve posted the color version there. The monochrome version jumped out at me as I took away color; the lines sharp, the detail broken down to its essence. I’m learning to see with new eyes.
Photo taken with an iPhone 6Plus in Camera+, edits in the native camera.

Thank you, Otto. The forms and shapes were fun as I angled the phone’s camera into the plant to line this up where I wanted it.

I truly struggle with the conversion too .. I don’t really feel comfortable with it 😃

Hi, Julie. It has taken me well over three years to a true feeling of comfort with taking away color; and now, there are some photos that just transform into more beauty when I see them in black and white. Thanks for visiting. Have a great week.
