The third Monday of every month is devoted to black and white phoneography at Lens and Pen By Sally. My small town is in the middle of its fourth day of heavy October fog and I hope Sally doesn’t mind the touch of Sepia in these misty beach photos because I need a hint of color to lighten the monochrome view outside…

The abstract nature of nature is clearly present, and the images work so well in monochrome. Well done. Happy Phoneography Monday.

Thanks Nancy! I keep thinking about printing a few images to frame but never get around to it… one day I will. 🙂

Love the hint of sepia…it gives these scenes a sense of connection with the past: perfect for oceans that were here long before we arrived on this planet!

What a great way to describe the sepia, thanks! I had that in mind but couldn’t find the right words to express the idea. 🙂

The second, empty photo came as a shock after the first. It’s interesting how much difference in feel (to me, at least), those two birds (?) made, even though they were so small. As with Sally’s, I like them both, but very different feel to me. The first feels peaceful without people; the second seems lonely without anything except sky and water and the B&W &sepia highlights that feeling.

Yes, they are two birds in the first photo. I thought they each had a different feeling too and couldn’t decide which to post so that is why you get both today. Peaceful and lonely are good words to describe the moods and I’m happy to hear the images are expressing them…

I love the fog! I think I like the first photo with the birds the best. The second one seems to have such a lonely feel to it.

Thanks Linda! I like the fog too, but in smaller stretches, not 4 loooong days. 🙂

Thank you! They weren’t the photos I planned to take but we have to make the best of what the weather brings here in the NW. 🙂

I love to see different photos of the same place – two completely different feelings – the birds (?) floating so peacefully on the surface of the water versus just the ocean – which is also peaceful, but not the same. I also love that you took this with opposing angles of the shoreline.

I love seeing the different angles too… for these two I wanted to see how the light changed looking left and right and was happily surprised by the birds in one and open ocean in the other.
