Egidio introduces this weeks Lens-Artists challenge of Colour in Black and White.
“This week, we will explore this cognitive phenomenon, showcasing how the absence of color can often create a deeper, more personal perception. That is this week’s challenge: seeing color in black and white.” Egidio
The images Ive chosen to share are deep within nature, in the forest of trees and snow. I instantly thought of this photo ride, as many of the images in a monochrome processing, resemble colour so much for me. The deep green of the trees with the blanket of snow.
Within a moment in life, this is where I am immersing myself – although I cannot physically do that today, when my energy deeply needs it, I could get out for a walk with my dog and enjoy the images.
I hope you enjoyed my perspective of this weeks challenge. These photos feel special for me, being out in nature when my mind felt overwhelmed, seeing them again reminds me you can find your strength in the quiet and calm.
Egidio shares, “Next week, Tina will feature a new challenge. It will go live at noon EST in the USA. Tune in to find out more about the challenge then.

I am grateful I found the Lens-Artists Challenge last year, it is especially in this in between ‘season’ of winter ending and spring easing in, its still cold, wet, dark and dreary, I appreciate the creative spark to ignite.
Until next week <3

These work so well for the challenge Pamela, I love seeing snow and it does make images almost black and white anyway.

A great take on the challenge Pamela. It’s easy to put the colour back into these images. I always find it hard to shoot black and white images in woodland because the greens and browns look so similar when converted to grey. Using snow to set the trees off is a great workaround :)

Thank you Steve, it truly felt magical, and the black and white brings a level of mystic I felt. I normally wouldnt process these monochrome, however I am grateful I did!

Pamela, Echoing Steve in using snow to intersect the two predominant shades. All of the images meet the goal for Egidio’s challenge, but my favorite is your second image. It makes me want to walk that trail.
