We are traveling, so I’m taking lots (husband says hundreds and he is right) of photos. I’m going to pick out a few from our first three days to show you monochromatic on vacation.
The first one is from our visit to Fort Niagara on the American side of the river.
The second is from our visit to Niagara Falls.
And the third is from a marvelous spot in Ontario Canada called The Big Apple Pie Factory.
I knew about the challenge when we visited the apple pie store, so I took that last one on purpose. Even rearranged the apples in the barrel to my liking while no one was looking. I took full advantage of the permission granted to use a splash of color to set off the main values, especially on the apple shot, though I like the brown of the basket against the grey of the window too.
Looking through my photos I’ve learned that I take quite a lot of monochromatic shots. I think it’s something I’m drawn to, but I didn’t realize that until this challenge. You can go to the original post to see other people’s versions of monochromatic.
Thanks for stopping by!

These are wonderful, Dawn, and made me see the idea of a monochromatic image in a different light. Love that last shot of you and the big smiling apple. 🙂

I love all the textures in the first photo, all the unexpected ways the same color shows up. But, it’s fall, and I really like the apples. That green one makes the photo!
