Happy Thursday!
I used to think photography in November-January was just plain boring because of the lack of color in the world. But I recently decided to play around more with Black/White photography and it’s amazing what a difference it makes.
I still have a few hydrangea blooms hanging on. I love them in B/W because I totally notice the detail in each little leaf a lot more.
And even my poinsettia, left over from a holiday party, is more interesting to look at when it isn’t overpowered by vibrant red. But, just so I can enter Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, which is the color red, I’ll include the original shot:
A different perspective is always welcome in my world. Sometimes it can even be captivating. (See how I slipped the JusJoJan24 prompt in there :o)
Have a terrific day and I hope you do or learn something NEW!

I agree with your comment about the hydrangea. There is so much detail in B&W that I often don’t notice in colour.

Sometimes colour definitely can be distracting. I like these B/W conversions. Here in South Texas, we’re fortunate to have a variety of vibrant colours all winter, so I tend to leave the B/W photography for mostly street photography and architecture. It’s an interesting idea to use it on flowers. I may have to give it a go!
