Ok, so you were lead to believe that I only captured one image that I liked from my backyard tonight. Well, here’s another one.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, I really enjoy producing monochrome images. I feel the brain has more capability to focus on a subject’s form when it’s not overloaded with multi-chromatic (is that a word?) information. Just recently I started to experiment with warm-toned monochromatic images by actually starting with a sepia preset in Lightroom. I then tweaked it quite a bit to my liking. Some other trends of mine you’ll start to notice are vignetting (no good reason, I just like it), high contrast, and once deep blues pushed as close to black as I can get them.

Remember, this is a place for experimentation. If you think I’ve gone off the deep end with any of these, please say so. However, maybe it’s you who’s catapulting into the deep. Have a great weekend!
