Monochrome MondayOddshots monday
For a while now I've been with Oddshots Monday. A new Neme By Aileni called Monochorme Mondays has started and yes I want to do both as B&W is right up my street. The daily photo though is a single image( mostly) so I 've had the idiotic notion to combine the two concepts with one image. So please be prepared for some lateral thinking and don't think in a literal sense all the time. Here we go.
The White Bridge Ramsey, straddles the Sulby River, deep within Poyll Dooey nature reserve.
Nothing odd so far it's a bridge and it's white. This is the lateral bit. It's always shot from the other side looking side onto the bridge with the hills as a backdrop. No one ever shoots from this side of the riverbank, looking down the bridge. Even I have only shot it this way recently. So there you have it a monochrome oddshot. Don't forget not everything in life is black and white, but shades of grey, and odd is a concept open to interpretation like everything else.
The BBC have uploaded the Gary's cartoons Politics Show to You Tube. Here's the link

Apologisies re emails and posts all over the place. Just a little mad here at the moment, and net painfully slow.
Great interpretation!!
ReplyDeleteLB,
ReplyDeleteI get where your're coming from. It looks wild. Like the background fade out.
I love the way you think, Babooshka. This is great.
ReplyDeleteCool. Looks like the bridge goes on forever, which could be considered odd.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Gary's 'toons, thanks for posting the link.
Love the perspective and the bw treatment.
ReplyDeleteBouncing bus photography is definitely a prescription for a migraine :)
It's a very olde worlde shot if you get my meaning. It's like the bridges we get over the brook. It's a wall hanger.
ReplyDeleteHello !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture in black and white...
Good description...
it looks like it comes from a winter scene and it's ready to snow
ReplyDeleteI think this is a superb photo and I like it very much!
ReplyDeleteI'm on my way to check out Gary's BBC You Tube.
There is nothing to do, maybe black and white pictures are more "artistic" I am a color girl ! I love color pictures they are more lifely !
ReplyDeleteLove this - it makes me want to wander over and see what is on the other side!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat perspective, and B/W really suits the setting. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouraging comments re action shots on my blog recently.
I like the way your mind works!
ReplyDeleteAnd, your B&W shots are a pleasure to view as they're the genuine article unlike mine.
ce pont en b&w est une invitation à découvrir un monde de rêve, j'aime ce ton qui donne du mystère a ce pont.
ReplyDeletethis bridge in b&w is an invitation to discover a world of dreams, I like this tone that gives a mystery that bridge.
the angle actually takes one for a walk on the bridge..
ReplyDeletegreat shot!
Truly excellent ! Love to richness of the blacks.
ReplyDeleteI run out of superlatives here - I think I should just give you ***** -:)
Great shot as always.
ReplyDeleteDear Babooshka,
ReplyDeleteThanks for Your welcoming words. You have never been in Croatia, well it's a big reason to visit me/us....
Best wishes

ReplyDeleteFantastic picture - I love it.
ReplyDeleteLeaves me curious as to what is on the other end. . .
ReplyDeleteA wonderful black and white presentation. I love the shadowy contrasts and highlights. This bridge has dignity.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot - a classic! Well done for combining the two memes so cleverly.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo as usual.
ReplyDeleteNice way of combining the two.
Check out my B&W here
Yes, a great idea. I have combined mine too.
ReplyDeleteLove this pic! What I find especially odd is how the left hand parapet is so much longer and kinda "scooped" than the right! Certainly creates an odd perspective!
ReplyDeleteYep Babooshka you've caught the two perfectly. well done....
ReplyDeleteIt is good to look at different angles isn't it? You have it perfectly here. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI do all the memes too but over two blogs as it is getting so busy on Monday! lol
Odd shot and Monochrome are here, Todays Flowers and Portrait of Words are here
Perfect!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fabulous shot. I love the perspective and it's a perfect choice to be in black and white. I think that adds to the mystery.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed that one!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment - I'll se what I can do, given a bit of time...
I like the textures in this picture. I am also curious as to how a bridge goes up hill. Also would like to see the hills. They must be beautiful if that is what everyone sees as a first impression.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo...very evocative! Good setting for a Victorian love story!
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of sounding stupid, it looks a bit like our bridge, only prettier (see? You haven't got a clue what I'm talking about!!)
ReplyDeleteCiao

I think this looks wonderful in B&W and I like the side of the bridge you took it from (although I don't know what the alternative looks like!)The bridge does look like it goes on forever! Would be interesting to see the other side, in color!

ReplyDeleteWow...I love this photo. Black & white photos are amazing.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot and lovely perspective.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Babooshka.
Do you ever take a bad or even average photo? It's perfect. It does look so different from this side. I am snowed under with work so comments are infrequent, but I checking in daily. Appreciate another Laxey photo, only when you can. Props for doing it for the island.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you think! There are times when black, white and grey work much better than color. I love the perspective on this photo.
ReplyDeleteI agree that seeing the bridge from this angle would make me venture across...with a sense of foreboding....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to marry the two themes!
ReplyDeleteReally neat photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for stopping by my blog and I hope you visit again sometime!
I'd love to see it as it's usually taken, too. Interesting perspective. :D
ReplyDeleteBabooshka, a perfect combo!
ReplyDelete:-Daryl
The tonal richness and the composition of this photo are just beautiful, Babooshka! I like it a lot!
ReplyDeleteGreat! I love the feeling of the picture.
ReplyDeleteYou expertly rose to the challenge. I like odd shots in monochrome!
ReplyDeleteClever and pretty.
ReplyDeleteGood one, Babooshka! "Louis" likes this Monochrome Meme. He's thinking about how he, too, might combine it with Odd Shots.
ReplyDeleteGreat black and white photo. And thinking outside the box is always a good thing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot for both meme's love the B&W
ReplyDeleteLove this shot and getting to love B and W too. I'm always looking for a photo that will lend itself to B and W. Often the colours of life here need to be shown tho. Your photo is super.
ReplyDeleteAnd a late congrats for your success in Motoaction Magazine.
Excellent, and I don't think it would work in colour, so good choice!
ReplyDeleteGreat! B&W and rock&roll :)
ReplyDeleteVery Nice shot..very nice!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it difficult to shoot bridges?
ReplyDeleteSorry, it just happens to me... Great, great picture!
that's a beautiful shot, i like the mood and tone, and its perfect in black and white
ReplyDeleteGreat perspective!
ReplyDeleteMiss Yves
