Today the sun put in intermittent appearances. Early on I applied my lens to the light.
The Gazebo Path retained its colour,
but this bench, lamp, and eucalyptus called for Black and White to enhance their shapes,
as did the shadows on the bench on The Helicon Path.
During the rest of the day, whilst I produced most of the remaining prints chosen by Paul for the exhibition, Jackie achieved considerable garden planting and maintenance,
including completing the refurbishment of the dump table photographed on 15th.
All I have to make now are a couple of A3 prints, the paper for which should arrive tomorrow.
Whilst tomorrow’s lamb jalfrezi simmered gently on the hob
we dined this evening on Jackie’s excellent liver and bacon casserole, potato wedges, carrots, and green beans. The Cook drank Kingfisher while I imbibed Reserve des Tuguets madiran 2012.
That lamb looks good!
Thanks, John
I never think about black and white; it really works, esp for the shadows. i’ll have to have a review of some of my pictures.
Thanks, Geoff.
The B&W effect has enhanced the beauty. And, the lamb looks delicious… 😀
Thank you, Maniparna
I love the photo of the shadows on the bench.
Thanks, Merril
yummm looks so good! the table came out nice!
Thanks, Lynn
Nice
Sometimes black and white is just perfect! Good to see The Cook is back on par 🙂
Thanks, Pauline
I was taken aback by your new gravatar photo, Pauline. It’s WONDERFUL!!
Thank you Cynthia – just don’t look too closely, that is me grinning maniacally over a very large glass of Belgian ale on my recent Wellington trip 🙂
I like…
I like the picture, too
Thank you Derrick.
I agree
The play with light is indeed fantastic….though I hope you won’t be tripping any time soon….
🙂 Nice one, Cynthia. Thanks
Oh…I love the black and whites, Derrick! Okay, time for people to laugh at me…is a “hob” what you call the stove? I learn so much here. 🙂
Thanks, Jill. I learn, too, the other way round. The hob is the top of the stove, with the rings on it
Now I know…thanks! 🙂
Me too, I love those black and white pics. Somehow the shapes are so much sharper.
Thanks, Jenny. It is the shapes that call for it
I’m partial toy our B&W prints, but do love to see a little of the color as well. Your meals all sound like feasts w/wonderful accompaniments – you and Jackie know to do dinner right.
Many thanks, Mary
Well – all my dear friends are drinking Kingfisher or Reserve des Tuguets madiran 2012 or changing their Gravatar – I’m simply (oh ordinary me) going to go and mow the lawn…
Nice one, Bruce – our dear friend
I am so excited to see your shadows and light photographs, Derrick. The black and white ones are so artistic, while I still tend to like color ones of gardens. 🙂
Many thanks, Robin
The title of your post fits perfectly with your photographs. 🙂
Thanks, Rose
I love your use of black and white. I’m not sure I would have thought of doing so.
Thanks, Laurie. I think of it when the shapes are the important aspect
Beautiful lighting capture! 🙂
Thanks, Amy
Great photos again, though I have to confess that the one that sticks in my mind is the curry. 😉
Just about to eat it, Quercus. Thanks
Hope it’s as good as it looks!
’twas, thanks
