A Shining Light

A sunburst through the slats in a building is strikingly highlighted in the monochrome version. An optical phenomenon called diffraction causes the starburst effect; as light passes through a small aperture, it is diffracted (or spread out) across the lens’ aperture blades.

Monochrome Images

Switching our posts for the next two weeks from color to monochrome.

Monochrome photography is an artistic type of photography that uses tones of a single color to colorize a photograph. Instead of having colors from all over the spectrum, a monochrome photo has just one color scale. All black and white images are monochrome images, but not all monochrome images are black and white. 

Here is an image captured from Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park in California, that is converted from color to monochrome making it balanced and visually appealing.

This bridge was captured on a slide, converted to digital and then transformed to monochrome to dramatize it.

The Sydney Harbor Bridge is a steel through arch bridge in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, spanning Sydney Harbor from the central business district (CBD) to the North Shore. The view of the bridge, the harbor, and the nearby Sydney Opera House is widely regarded as an iconic image of Sydney, and of Australia itself.
