For this entry into the #Monomad community contest, I challenged myself to take a new look at my landscape photos—ones that originally relied heavily on color to create their impact. Stripping them of their hues, I wanted to see if they could still hold the same depth of feeling in monochrome. Not necessarily the same feeling, but at least the same intensity.
The first image pulls you into a quiet, almost eerie evening. The silhouette of the trees against the fading light feels timeless. Without the distractions of color, the scene becomes about shapes, shadows, and the weight of silence. This photo is a whisper rather than a shout.
In the second, the drama of the sky takes center stage. The sweeping clouds and soft fog rolling over the fields feel vast and endless, yet grounded in simplicity. It’s amazing how monochrome intensifies texture and lets the sky tell its story without competing with bold colors. For me, this one was the most difficult to work with
The third image is a lonely road, leading who knows where. In black and white, it’s not just a road, it becomes a metaphor. For what? That’s up to the viewer. Adventure, solitude, or maybe just a long walk to clear your head.
The fourth picture is all about atmosphere. The fog enveloping the path makes the scene feel surreal, as though you’re about to wander into a dream—or maybe a mystery novel.
