Monochrome Moog

I saw the trellised shadows from the kitchen window so dashed out with camera to photograph them before the sun disappeared and the snow melted. Moog, usually a reluctant venturer to the great outdoors, followed me and hence these monochromes.

When the contrasts between dark and light are extreme it’s difficult not to blow the highlights or lose detail in shadow. There are several ways to help counter this (*see link below) -the easiest would have been RAW file capture (which I had switched off when on holiday to save space!). Other than that I had very little time with the moving subject to think about much more than framing.

One for Monochrome Monday and Introspectives with an aim to improve and learn more about photography. Hence the images are not always for show
