A black and white Norwegian forest cat fills the frame, their fur glowing from the backlight and eyes staring straight into the camera.

A black and white Norwegian forest cat crawls carefully through art supplies, including a felted torso, while sunlight reflects off their coat.

Bizzy was investigating the art space while the @theartfuldarkling.bsky.social made dinner. Good light.

Used Adobe Camera RAW to turn to black and white, blue and red sensitivity used to get the good feel in the darker sky and the separation in the rock strata. DxO Nik Silver EfEx for the toning. Slight crop off the bottom and left, to get the leading lines I wanted.

For the #PostProcess #TonalShift, on the Grand Canyon photo provided by
@rjrock.bsky.social. Adobe Camera RAW for the turning to black and white, then DxO Nik 8 Silver EfEx for the toning. More in alt.

A macro image of a cluster of snowdrop buds after a rainfall. The photo has been edited in black and white. The Affinity's tone adjustments were used to shift the green tones to a display as much darker. The slender leaves of the snowdrop plant look almost cactus like while the buds themselves could be mistake for a string of Christmas bulbs.

Tried out a B&W edit of one of my snowdrop shots I took this afternoon. I think there may just be too much going on in it to be truly effective, but I do particularly like the leaves!

The image depicts a dense canopy of tree branches in a grayscale setting. In the center, a large, colorful circular frame highlights a portion of the trees. This frame consists of a gradient from yellow on the left to blue on the right. Inside the circular frame, the branches are vividly colored, adorned with bright pink blossoms, creating a stark contrast to the surrounding black-and-white foliage.

The black-and-white photograph depicts the large clock on the end wall of the interior of the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. It hangs on a glass wall, behind which, faintly visible, museum visitors can be seen walking. It is unmistakable that the building was once a train station.

Like shadows
we walk
behind glass
behind the clock
behind time.
Pushed
by that ticking countdown.
Mere shadows

But sometimes, Chronos,
in beautiful moments
time stands still
and the heart beats louder
than your ticking.
Take this, Chronos!

A black-and-white photograph of a natural rock arch in the Upper Palatinate Jura, forming a striking “opening” in the rugged limestone. The rough, textured walls curve inward to frame a bright woodland scene beyond—sunlit trees, delicate branches, and a narrow path leading forward. The contrast between the shadowed foreground and the luminous forest creates a sense of passage, as if the opening invites the viewer to step from darkness into light.

And suddenly you know: It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.
— Meister Eckhart

A black and white close-up of an azalea with a double layer of petals. The petals in the foreground are starting to darken and tear as the flower begins to fade. A pistil and three white stamens with dark anthers are in the flower's center. Dark spoon-shaped leaves are underneath the flower.

Black and white photo of a large bronze medallion of Medusa’s head, set in a frame of a large oak door. The head is wreathed in hair and snakes, with two snakes arching above, facing each other, mouths open. The Medusa herself faces incomers with mouth wide open, as though emitting a scream.

Black and white macro view of a ROSEBUD opening and about to unfurl; was a peach/orange flower, so focused on lightening/enhancing those colors in processing, and taking the greens of its leaves and surrounds way down. Taken in Hershey Gardens, PA around Halloween last year.

Its been a delight processing and posting this afternoon, but I really must away. Let me leave folks with this one...
