The new

A white rose in monochrome. I wanted to remove all hints of colour to see what is left behind: light and shadows, texture. What’s special about that, you may ask. A new 4 diopter lens which I got transforms the most mundane subject into a whole fascinating new world.

This is day 2 of my 7 day B&W challenge. Thank you, Rekha, for pushing me out of my comfort zone of posting two photos a month. I’m supposed to nominate one person each day to the challenge. I would like to nominate hbhatnagar, who does very interesting monochromes. You can start any time you like, 7 hours later, or seven days, or seven months. Or you could think about it for seven years. No compulsion, no hurry.
