Shining Through

I knew my camera has a feature to take black and white photo, but for the longest time, I could not figure out how to use it. Then one day, I accidentally set it to this mode, and aim at the sky for a few shots.

The Sun Shines Through


I am used to see the sky with its various and amazing colors, but with these black and white shots, the sky is just beautiful. Partially, it was a gray day with occasional sun shinning through.

Entanglement


I caught the sky just right when the sun came out, and the black and white pictures turned out even better than the color one.

In Full Colors


This picture was taken on the same day, only at a different spot, and as you can see there was hardly any colors except for a couple of blue spot.

I like the one that you have labelled "entanglement". Somehow it feels as though the viewer is being dragged down through the center of your image with only the overhead wires to impede their progress.

Monochrome assists with the telling of a story and I have been able to take much from your post today. Thank you.

The first picture is truly excellent.
Welcome to the Monochrome world.

Beautiful Icy, they are very expressive in black and white. I never use my black and white setting. You've inspired me to try it :)

There is nothing quite like a well rendered sky in B&W and you've done it here. Wonderful images.

In the first one, I love the diagonal energy of the clouds that I probably would have missed if it was in color.

How to nice to see them in BW, all the while we thought that capturing them in full color would give the subject the best effects. Nice mono, Icy!

Icy, you could take a picture of anything and make it come out beautiful! Such talent!

Beautiful photos Icy, great monochromes. I really like that feature on my camera because I can see what the shot will look like before I take it.

The sky looks beautiful in black and white. These are amazing shots.
