As the title says just a little shot taken at the junk yard on our last visit before Christmas. It serves really as a behind the scenes shot just to show a little of the process before the shots we take end up on the nett or hanging on a wall somewhere.

House At The End…

20160103-untitled shoot-2-Edit

This is a shot of a derelict house at the end of a local road. It still looks a little lived in. It’s on private ground so I haven’t been inside. I think the people that own the house (They have another next door) use it as a shed.

I just love the peeling paint and the hanging bicycle.

The Best Of Monochromia – David Williamson – The Reluctant Urban Explorer

Black And White Photography, David, Photography

David is a Brit living in Norway and I asked him to come on board at Monochromia shortly after I started following his photoblog.  He is another prime example that it does not matter what equipment you put in his hands he will always manage to come up with a great image.  He is an avid camera collector and he even makes his own film developer he calls “Caffenol” 🙂 This is one of Dave’s images that I just adore. He is a very interesting “bloke” that I hope to meet one day – Joe

A mate took this shot of me playing around with a parasol that was left behind by a glamour shoot. I’d just like to say that although I may seem a little absent from what goes on behind the scenes here at Monochromia I follow a close as my time allows. A big thank you to Joe for this site (He has others too). It gets me out there taking pictures and that is what it’s all about .

Have a great Christmas and a snappy New Year. All my love and best wishes to all that read this, and my fellow contributors here at Monochromia who are a great inspiration to do better all the time.

See you in the New Year

MG In The Woods

I weep a little every time I see this classic sticking out from under the trees and bushes. For those that are wondering, it is an MG Magnette.

This last summer I got to see a fully restored one  (however not the one in the link) at a country show. The owner told me that in the sixties they were often used as stock cars as they were powerful and sturdy. Many were just raced and wrecked so there aren’t too many in good condition any more.

This is a fairly straight shot with only black and white conversion. It has an almost 3D effect in my opinion.

…Of Course It’s Still Here

…they said. However the last time I was here someone had removed the bumper (fender). Go on put your hand over the that part and tell me the shot doesn’t loose anything. So last time I was here I didn’t take any shots of it. As if by magic this year a bumper had reappeared. The magic has returned.
