This week I have been very busy editing photos, and as I love monochrome and black and white images, I took some time to try different styles from our wonderful visit to Glenelg Beach in South Australia.
The Pier there provided great opportunities for photography, largely due to the striking contrasts between light and shadow, which are essential in monochrome photography. I experimented with various angles and compositions to capture the essence of the scene, highlighting the elegant lines of the architecture against the raw natural beauty of the beach.
These images reflect not only the stunning vistas but also the unique atmosphere of the location. These are my contributions this week for Leanne’s Monochrome Madness.

Thanks PR, they do add a nice touch to the images
These work so well. A great collection.

That is a great pier Ritva, love the photos. I have been to the beach there but don’t remember the pier, then again it was over 35 years ago.
They look great in monochrome.
Things and places change in 35 years at least I hope so, thanks Leanne
