I love how monochrome makes almost everything look like it came from a bygone era. And of course if the subject matter is old stuff, that definitely adds to the effect.
I posted a few of these in color yesterday, and today I give them new life and an old look by reshaping them in monochrome.
Sometimes I share my monochrome pictures of old stuff with friends and family and ask them to guess when the photo was taken. They are on to me now, but for a while it was fun when they were guessing sometime in the Eisenhower administration.
I mostly like my phone’s “silver tone” filter. It seems softer, more elegant, and less stark. But sometimes it just doesn’t produce the right effect. And I need to use the high contrast black and white filter.
It was absolutely necessary for the drama of these towering thunderheads.
This one also seemed to require the high contrast black and white.
But back to the junkyard and the silver tone filter...
It was a great day for capturing pictures of old stuff for Monochrome Monday! I even captured some boats down on the waterfront.
Thanks for visiting my blog!
