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.

Veined And Mottled
As I was walking into the pasture this morning to take my customary cloud shot, I noticed the first signs of seasonal change caught in the tall grass. Seen in color, this leaf would be primarily red, blotched with gold and green; lovely in its own right, but I think not as lovely as it appears in the black-and-white rendition. Shot using the in-camera b/w mode, I used a torchiere lamp to illuminate the leaf from behind, bringing the veins into sharp relief.
