Summer afternoon on a dike looking out at a marsh.
A wooden ‘trunk’ is here to control flow through this dike to others. It’s the same method that was added here about 300 years ago when this was all plantation rice fields.
Specs; OM-1 (1), OM 12-100 f4, Lightroom, DxO Silver Efex.
An image perfect for DxO Silver Efex.

The Moon blossom appears to me to be quite different from other flowers. The twist and turn to the tip almost looks like a soft server ice cream cone 🤣.
I think it might be interesting to create a small collection of blossoms like this for a B&W gallery.
Photograph taken early morning as the dew began to cover the plant. Interestingly the dew doesn’t seem to effect the blossoms, the plant withers only after the flower has opened for the night.

A Common Gallinule, or Moor Hen, for Monochrome Monday.

A favorite scene that I’ve shot in all kinds of formats, compositions, color / no color. I even have one in my living room.

I don’t know how many photographs of a Moon Flower I’ve published recently. Probably don’t want to know. They are just such a great subject for B&W photography.
I had been questioning whether to update my DxO NIK collection or not. I really only use 2 of the softwares. Doing so much monochrome lately i just need to go do it.

The other day we drove into the marsh areas in the Donnelley wildlife area of the ACE Basin. When the temperature hover near 100 degrees even the basin gets quiet. The water is even too warm for the alligators.
The dirt roads cut over and through dikes and run between marshes. There’s always something to see, and while you’re still brave/foolish enough to take a walk the scenic photographs are everywhere.

Each flower is different, where it has grown on the vine, and especially how quickly the plant withers from the morning dew, dictates what the photograph will show… that’s the long way of saying I have a billion images, and still climbing.
Every morning we go out, Ellen when it’s still pitch black, and take more photographs of the nights flowers. I have shot almost all in Black and White so far.
