The first photo in this post has its monochrome twin posted on today’s “Monochrome Madness” post by Leanne Cole Photography.

Swan on the Thames
Have you ever felt intimidated by swans? I don’t know what I did to deserve the look this one gave me – maybe it just didn’t like being photographed. I suppose I would get the same look from people if I pointed my camera straight at them.
In the second image I think it has resigned itself to the activity and decided to pose more pleasantly rather than stare fiercely.
Shiny Green
I am not a motorcyclist but there is something about the aesthetics of motorbikes that has appeal – or perhaps it is the romantic notion of “riding into the sun”. The bright green of this Kawasaki does not have the same appeal as the shiny red of the Ducati in yesterday’s post but it is still, somehow, a fitting colour for the machine.
Urban Abstract
Black and white / monochrome? You might expect these images to have been produced in monochrome but in fact the last one is the only one that I felt merited the change from colour.
I like the subtleness of the colour in the first two and although I tried the third in B&W and made the necessary adjustments, I found the blue at the bottom of that tyre well to be just right along with the a-concentric curves of the layered rubber.
All images taken on my iPhone with ProCamera.
Shiny Red Ducati
I was hanging around waiting for my car to be serviced last week and took the opportunity to take some photos on my iPhone.
This Ducati motorbike was not parked in a position that would allow effective photography of the whole bike but I love the shiny red 🙂
