The Best Of Monochromia – Robyn Graham – Sunset Silhouette

Black And White Photography, Photography

I had been following Robyn’s blog for a while before I asked her to join us here at Monochromia and I was thrilled when she accepted. She is a very talented photographer from Bucks County Pennsylvania and also one of the friends/contributors that I have had to pleasure to meet in person. She is every bit as sweet and friendly as her profile image suggests – Joe

Where Shall I Grow

Where Shall I grow

What Shall I Become

I begin as one with many,

But the breeze carries me away.

I drift along with the wind,

It carries me East, then West,

Maybe North and South too.

I land,

I am now alone.

Where shall I grow?

What shall I become?

I know, I know, this is a photography blog, but I was inspired to write today and thus, the poem above. I hope you enjoy both, the images and the poem.

Double Exposure II

I saw a photography challenge on Facebook last week and set out to attempt it. The challenge was to shoot double exposures. I hope I am not boring you by posting flowers yet again…but, alas, my sunflowers are in full bloom and I chose them as my “challenge” subject matter. So, tell me what you think, and tell me what you see!

Today I am sharing two images because I thought it fun to compare perspectives and demonstrate that by moving around a subject, we change the feel and emotions of a photograph. When we move around our subjects we capture light in a different perspective. Light is photography so it is important to watch it and use it to capture our subjects – using it to our benefit. The presence or absence, angle, color, and intensity of light truly can change the meaning of an image.

Have a great weekend everyone!
