Steam Engine #6

At the end of summer it was all about black and white photography for me, especially with the steam engines and locomotives that were running at Midwest Old Threshers Reunion. This image is in the gallery for Monochrome Madness by Leanne Cole Photography.   Prints can be purchased here.

Winter – Monochrome Landscape

Cloudy days, cold temperatures, howling winds, snow and ice, it is winter. Winter is the season of a monochrome landscape. A lovely season for monochrome photography.  While some find the gray dreary days difficult, I choose to find the beauty of the landscape.  So far it has been a mild winter in Southeast Iowa, at least in my opinion and some would certainly not agree.  To recharge, a walk in the woods listening to the open water in the creek flowing, the crunching of snow under my feet, finding beauty.  Winter is the opportunity to work on my monochrome photography and embrace the season.

This image is in the Monochrome Madness gallery on Leanne Cole PHOTOGRAPHY and will be posted later today.
