Not new images but inspired by Madhur Dhingra's work I tried to edit two from my files to emulate his style. Thoughts appreciated. The second would be my choice - in the first one I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be looking at while in the second my eye was drawn to the figure and then following the lights. I'd would have probably cropped it squarer to remove some of the black area and emphasise the diagonal of the lights but that's just my preference. Does make a great abstract B&W. Tony

An old chimney on the local library (originally a train station). I got the two doves to pose for me! The original turret room at the hospital. This was Charlotte's room who left the impressive house (including gardens and a golf course) to the town to be used as a hospital when she died in 1908. The rest has been modernized but the turret room remains and they say you can see her ghost looking out of the window - and if you look closely you can see she was there today (and not the result of photoshopping!)

Good topic and very timely as last month our camera club topic was "pictures of things from angles you never thought of" so I have a few abstracts that should work in B&W and also took a couple more today. Here are some to start - the third one I took today and is a vertical intentional camera movement and I used a duotone rather than pure B&W Tony

Did some repair work on the columns, added a fountain (from Unsplash) as it is Virginia Water and some blue sky to brighten up the day. Tony

V is for Victorian and I do live in a town that is known for its Victorian architecture so I'll have to go with Victoria Hall (the town hall and theatre) originally built in 1889 . I've used it before for themes but tried for a more unusual Version to highlight the Victoria name. Tony

That offer is available in both the USA and Canada if you order through Adobe. The small print says "This offer is valid in the U.S. and Canada. Offer valid from 8:00 am (PT) on February 22, 2024 until 11:59 pm (PT) on March 6th, 2024. Local taxes apply (in my case that would be an extra 13% - Alberta would be a lot less!)

Had to see if he could think on his feet - with some AI help... Tony

More water - and after a couple of warm days it was unfrozen and sheltered enough to give good reflections. Tony

Had to see what AI would do - used "Large Lotus leaf in Japanese garden with subject sitting on it" and generative fill of the background came up with this: Tony

No rain here and cold enough that the water in Bear Creek was frozen but that didn't seem to bother the beavers who it looked like had been recent visitors to the trees on the bank. Tony

Had to see what Firefly would come up with using the quote - particularly since chaotic is one of the concept options. Did produce some interesting results but I went with this one to add some text: Tony

Had to see what generative fill would come up with - took a few attempts but here's one of the slightly better ones: Tony

Finally got round to trying the effect on a pic I took at the weekend with this effect in mind (I posted the original in the Today's Picture thread). Here's the result: Tony
