One of my favourite photographs is one that I did twice 🙂 You know, so nice I did it twice? Anyway, I took it originally when I shot with the Canon PowerShot S5, a beauty of a camera, bigger than a compact, but a super-zoom with amazing results, and then when I moved onto shooting an SLR, I tried again to shoot a similar shot, similar because you can never get the same shot twice, not really. That was my “Fleur de Lis Fence Toppers“, and although I was less pleased the second time around, it was probably because I was expecting more.
Recently I took another shot of a Fence Topper and did a monochromatic rendering, several of them had already “disappeared” off the fence, so instead of trying to catch several of them I concentrated on one and tried to get a nice background, nice not as in scenery, but complimentary.

A subject that catches your interest can provide many opportunities for revisiting. It is fun sometimes to see how many good photos you can get of that subject. I tend to do the same thing too.
True, in this case it was a different subject, but of the same family 🙂
Nice shot! Love wrought iron details.
Thanks Sheila, many times its the details that grab rather than the whole 🙂
You really do make great monochrome pictures.
Thanks Nigel, I try, some subjects and scenes render better in monochrome 🙂
Real nice details and contrast in the black and white conversion…
Thanks Brian,
I tend to favour either high colour scenics or high contrast monochromes, not to say that I don’t try everything in between 🙂
Thanks for stopping by
Great stuff from you man.
