Standing apart in the pasture, a solitary maple is a favored gathering place for the local crows. From it, they can keep an eye on Clyde's place and mine as well as another neighbor's yard where handouts are frequently dispensed. In the winter months when the leaves have fallen, it's not uncommon to see several dozen sharp black silhouettes perched among the limbs, and it only takes one "Caw-caw-caw!" from me to lift them into the air and toward the crow board in anticipation of breakfast.
This image was created from a color photo which was tonemapped and rendered into infrared.
Ask anyone what "monochrome" means as it relates to photography, and you'll undoubtedly hear a response of "Black and white." This is incorrect. Monochrome images may be based in any color. The most commonly known alternate is sepia. Other old photographic processes which yield monochrome results include albumen and platinum. In this blog, I intend to present one or more monochrome images per week, to be posted on Saturday or Sunday for the period of one year. I hope my viewers will enjoy them.
