In most cameras you can choose the monochrome setting and this allows you to actually see what your subject will look like in black and white before you take the shot. If you shoot in RAW, then your black and white will automatically revert to colour on your computer but if you choose RAW/JPEG for shooting, you get colour and black and white choices. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgvEWeqHvH3hgDqgCvdR-tPVMZ3LfXHNEhclZNXOZbcpvLiFBcxsZ0PwHyGFCK5UFc4WnOaoJGlLsDcaRfoirHz94UhrHyKkJSkL-mIe8kT71NSozq59jJgl34grYRgm26isH1Y_JGjI8rzHkVj32OhEjsDBKE65VowsDW4DQivUI8wNucfF_Q26s-eYA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="2400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgvEWeqHvH3hgDqgCvdR-tPVMZ3LfXHNEhclZNXOZbcpvLiFBcxsZ0PwHyGFCK5UFc4WnOaoJGlLsDcaRfoirHz94UhrHyKkJSkL-mIe8kT71NSozq59jJgl34grYRgm26isH1Y_JGjI8rzHkVj32OhEjsDBKE65VowsDW4DQivUI8wNucfF_Q26s-eYA=w640-h320" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Leanne's photograph is on the left and Justine's photograph is on the right. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"></div></div></div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p></div>leanne and justinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06095639831196261224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506086571953261676.post-39269416896545627112023-04-17T13:44:00.003+10:002023-04-17T13:44:38.349+10:00 trunks and branches<p style="text-align: center;"> We love the interesting shapes of trunks and branches. Twisty branches like these make me think of old fairy tales like Hansel and Gretel & Snow White. Where the trees seem to reach out like monsters towards the protaganist in the story. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I can just imagine little red riding hood skipping through the trees (below left) with her picnic basket on her way to grandmas house.

The hint of green in the plums and the lush green of the grapes work well together. The plums on the left are from my garden and I made Rick Stein's plum chutney with them and I think it tastes delicious, perfect with cheese in a sandwich or roast chicken. I forgot to ask Leanne what she has done with the grapes on the right hand side, maybe she put them on a cheese board or just enjoyed looking at them on the vine. </p>Justinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14131220171499559949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506086571953261676.post-51983235879838802522023-04-03T06:59:00.004+10:002023-04-03T16:18:50.255+10:00earthy tones<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The colours of nature are so varied; it's lovely to notice the the browns & earthy colours that are everywhere.

Last year's summer (and the summer before) were quite rainy. It's amazing what a few weeks of mostly sunny weather does for the soul. Exposure to sunlight is thought to increase the brain's release of serotonin which is linked to boosting feelings of calm, focus and wellbeing.
