Graham, Jack (#6226) Monochrome on Whidbey Island, November 11-13

For many photographers, color presents a lot of challenges. In many images, the use of monochrome brings out the shapes and textures stronger than color. Perhaps it’s that in many images color can be distracting and taking away the drama of the scene. In monochrome photography, one can adjust the brightness, shadows and contrast to their individual liking, just as we can with color, but the unexpected, monochrome, is often stronger and evokes far different responses to the viewer than color images do. We’ll delve into why and how to make the most of monochrome imagery.

To many, monochrome delivers a different feeling since our everyday world is made up of colors. In other words, monochrome is not our reality.
