Its Monday again time for some Mono images

Now I have bene asked a couple of times whether I shoot my Black and White or Mono shots on camera in Mono or edit them to mono on the computer, So let me start this post by answering that.

I take all my photos in RAW mode, well almost all if shooting an event where I know I will take a ton of photos and want to quickly edit them and share I may use jpg mode, but since I haven't done any events this year I can safely say at the moment I can say I always shoot in RAW Mode, which means the capture captures all the information of the photo but does no editing.

I then edit the photos to my liking using lightroom and photoshop, and for which shots I choose to go with a mono edit, as I scroll through my photos I see some that I think may work in a Mono edit and give it a try, such as this first image, where i kind of liked it in Mono

^{Sony A7iii 87mm F8 1/250 Sec ISO 800}

But I wasn't sure so I did a color edit as well which is the next shot

^{Sony A7iii 87mm F8 1/250 Sec ISO 800}
^{Click here to view larger}

and this is a case where I really am not sure which one I prefer Mono or color so sharing them both.

Would love your thoughts which do you prefer?

Some other shots I come across just call out to me for a mono edit Such as this next one, taken with my 11mm Ultra wide angle lens which gives the curvy effect on the plants at the sides, IN color it was a so so shot but i love the moody feel of this edit

^{Sony A7iii 11mm 1/200 Sec ISO 100}
^{Click here to view larger}

And sometimes I do a mono edit and think it just doesn't stand out in any way and needs a splash of color such as this next shot

^{Sony A7iii 28mm F8 1/125 Sec ISO 160}
^{Click here to view larger}

And a last shot with no real thought process I just liked it in Mono :)

^{Sony A7iii 75mm F4.5 1/400 Sec ISO 100}

And that’s all folks

unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.

I like your mono edits, JJ, and I prefer the first photo in mono, although the grass looks quite nice in the colour version.

Just like you, I shoot always in RAW and decide later if an image might look good in mono, but some photos I shoot already with a mono edit in mind.

Tufts of grass growing on top of wooden pole in mono really shows each blade. Wide angle lens another nice touch in mono.

That third photo is like portal to another world! I also like the splash of green in the following photo. It definitely adds to the photo. Sometimes one can overdo it with editing and it takes away from the magic of capturing a moment in time, but this addition was beautiful!

I like the first one much better in color :) ... However your edits are making me want to experiment with the gradient more when I work with Apophysis.
