Mt Titlis in Monochrome

There’s no set theme for this week’s Monochrome Madness Challenge, so I’ve decided to feature monochrome shots from my travels. Ascending Mt. Titlis, the world transforms. The funicular lifts you above the valley, and the cable car carries you closer to the peaks, where snow and rock merge in stark contrast.  In monochrome, the ridges…

Symmetry in Monochrome

Symmetry in monochrome photography reveals itself everywhere—sometimes in magnificent architecture, sometimes in the smallest details. It may be the grand domes of churches, the pillars of castles, the rows of windows, or the quiet pull of an alleyway. In Melbourne, it appears in the architecture—in the arches, the bridges, and the geometry of the city…

Lucerne in Monochrome

There’s no set theme for this week’s Monochrome Madness Challenge, so I’ve decided to feature monochrome shots from my travels. The River Reuss flows through Lucerne and beneath the Chapel Bridge, Europe’s oldest covered wooden bridge and the city’s iconic landmark. Across bridges and spires, monuments and lampposts, Lucerne whispers in monochrome. A Cruise through…

Heidelberg & Rhineland in Monochrome

On a Rhine River Cruise, with wine on one hand and a camera on the other. Enjoying the line of coloured houses and the view of some medieval castles. In the centre of Heidelberg, the university town of Germany, are these charming houses and restaurants. The Heidelberg Castle overlooks the old town. The Bruckentor or…

Movement in Monochrome

Monochrome night shots turn lights and shadows into pure drama. Water movement shows softness, flowing gently in black and white. Daylight roads in monochrome show quiet lines and textures we often miss. For Leanne’s Monochrome Madness Challenge

Amsterdam in Monochrome

There’s no set theme for this week’s Monochrome Madness Challenge, so I’ve decided to feature monochrome shots from my travels. Amsterdam is a city that often dazzles in colour—golden light on the canals, flower-filled windows, bikes in every hue, and gabled houses leaning into one another like old friends. But what happens when all that…

Backlighting

This week’s Monochrome Madness host is Brian from Bushboy’s World with the theme of Backlighting Monochrome and backlighting make a striking pair in photography. Stripped of colour, monochrome images rely on light, shadow, and contrast to tell a story—and that’s where backlighting shines. When the light source is behind the subject, it creates glowing edges, silhouettes, and…

London in Monochrome

There’s no set theme for this week’s Monochrome Madness Challenge, so I’ve decided to feature monochrome shots from my travels. Monochrome scenes of London adds mood and timelessness to the city’s iconic sights. The London Eye stands still against a moody sky, while Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament glow in contrast. A red…

Modes of Transportation in Monochrome

This week’s Monochrome challenge is from Dawn, with the topic of Modes of Transportation I have decided to separate it in three categories-by land, by water, and by air. There are so many ways to get around by land – bikes and jeepneys zip through the Philippines, trains old and new roll through Porto, and…
