Of Tulips Past

Tulips, Flowers, Garden, Sepia, Monochrome

These tulips have long past, but their memory lives on in digital form. Long live the tulips!

As you can see from the cropped, color image of this same stand of tulips on the right, they were two-toned in color – not your typical red or yellow. Ironically, I thought the unique, contrasting colors made them good candidates for a monochrome treatment.

To me, the detail in the petals are much more interesting in a higher contrast B&W.  In fact, I think this would make an impressive, large print. May have to do that.

Grassland Lighthouse

Lighthouse, Sunrise, Sunset, Monochrome, Sepia, Beach Grass

In a few moments, the sun will rise in the middle of this image. Before the blinding light breaches the horizon, the clouds create a dramatic background.

I’ve taken countless photos of this lighthouse and decided to take a lower angle. I lowered my tripod to just a foot or so above the ground – shooting through the beach grass.

Graceful End

Dandelion, Flower, Weed, Monochrome, B&W

The delicate dandelion blossom in its last stages. The dandelion, like other members of the Asteraceae family, has very small flowers collected together in a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret.

It seems every photographer has a dandelion photo…and this is mine.  They do make interesting subjects.

Opening Ceremony

Flowers, Bloom, Spring, Branch, Tree, Apple Blossoms, Monochrome, B&W

Early spring gives us some of it’s first blooming beauty on the trees. This bunch of blossoms, was part of springtime’s opening ceremony. They were perfectly position at the end of a low hanging branch, discovered on a walk through a local wooded area.

I decided to take on the challenge of processing these as a monochrome image. Since they were white flowers, it proved to be more of a challenge than I bargained for. It’s difficult to maintain any kind of detail with all that white.

Epic Spiral Stairway

Spiral, Stairway, Monochrome, B&W, Eye, Epic, Verona, Wisconsin

Things are looking up. (Well, I was, anyway.)  This is a view of a unique spiral stairway with my wife and son looking down at me. (Probably thinking, “Can we go now? How many more pictures are you going to take?”)

Architecture, Stairway, Monochrome, B&W, Epic, Verona, WisconsinThese are photos I took a couple of years ago as we toured the company my son works for – Epic in Verona, WI. They specialize in software for the medical industry. They have a very cool campus with buildings that tend to be theme oriented, accented with unique architecture, sculpture and artwork.  Plenty of cool stuff to point a camera at.

All these images are looking up at the same stairway from different angles.

Baby Feet, Toes, Rings, Wedding, Monochrome, Infant

A mother and father’s wedding rings look huge when placed on the toes of their newborn son.

During our first photo op, our son and daughter-in-law placed their wedding rings on the toes of Samuel – their first child, our first grandchild. Sammy was 1 week old at the time of this photo.

Lower Level Sprites

Stairway, Lighted, Curved, Statutes, Dancing Sprites, Monochrome

The sprites have their own interpretative dance party at the bottom of a lighted stairway on the campus of Epic in Verona, Wisconsin.

This photo was taken as we toured the huge Epic campus – led by our son, who works for the major software company. Epic is the world leader in software for mid-size and large medical groups, hospitals and integrated healthcare organizations.

Solitude on Ice

lighthouse, fog, Ice, Algoma, Wisconsin, WI, Monochrome, B&W, Black and White, Mist, Lake Michigan

The morning was cold.  The sun was rising…and so was a mist from the patches of open water near the lighthouse that stands at the Alogma, Wisconsin harbor.

I posted a color image from this same morning a week ago – Frigid Sunrise Fog.
