“Nature can put on a thrilling show. The stage is vast, the lighting is dramatic, the extras are innumerable, and the budget for special effects is absolutely unlimited.” ― Yann Martel, Life of Pi

I am following Nature without being able to grasp her … ~ Claude Monet

By stripping away the familiar characteristics of color, black and white photography of nature reveals something new. It highlights a different aspect of the relationships between shapes, form, contrast and composition in the natural world.

I recently added a black and white gallery to the website you can view it HERE

For day three of the challenge a look at winter details.

 

For day two of the challenge we will look at some close-ups of daisies I took during one of my morning walks a couple miles from my house.

For a fun experiment I will be posting three images each day for three days. These were from a recent trip to the Redwoods Parks in California.

“Nature is not only what is visible to the eye – it also presents the inner pictures of the soul – the images on the reverse side of the eye.” (Edvard Munch)

When I explore the smaller details of nature with my camera I am in reality experiencing the moment fully and expressing that experience as an image.

Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does Nature, because in her inventions, nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous.
Leonardo da Vinci
