Mono selective colors again

Mono selective colors again

Another week begins, it seems to me the weeks are running by so fast at the moment, but as I have been doing I am sticking with a Mono related post to start the week off, the same as I did last week, and I do not know how they went down with people who saw my post as I am preparing this on the Sunday before I will share last weeks post.

Often I have 6 or 7 posts in drafts, as I like to have them ready increase I have a crazy week, or perhaps a good week when I get out for many photo walks and do not have much time for editing photos and preparing posts, so when I have some quiet time I prepare posts in advance.

As I said I dont know how the selective color posts I share last week ( OK tomorrow as I type this0, but I enjoyed doing them and did some more.

Starting with these Buoys on a boat at the docks downtown

Now I have shared this building before the Frates Milk Bottle building but decided to try it first in Mono and I wasnt so happy with it, but i like how it looked with selective coloring

incase you didn't see my previous post here is some info on the building.

The Frates Dairy company was based in New Bedford, Mass., and is known for having built three buildings shaped like milk bottles. Two of the three have survived. This one is in New Bedford

the Milk bottle is 52 feet tall

the building was originally an Ice cream stand, then a restaurant built and operated by Frates Dairy company.
bottle-shaped building was constructed by steaming wood and warping it to create the shape of a milk bottle. Once constructed, the bottle was then topped with a red bottle cap. The sides of the bottle were painted to resemble milk -- as it was delivered to homes during that time

it was a Frates restaurant till 2003 when it was purchased by a local couple who continued it as an ice cream stand, only to put it up for sale again in 2005.

G&S Pizza purchased the property at that time and still sells local Bliss Dairy Ice Cream in the warmer months as a nod to the historic landmark bottle

A shot from a little while back when we had snow on the ground, I decided to let the benches with their warm colors stand out against the Mono background

Now this image, I thought about putting first in the post as its my favorite, but then just went with the order they were exported a shot on the road next door to the port, which I liked the moody feel of in straight mono, but added a splash of color with the traffic lights and on the tracks

Lovely images, JJ, and I love the tombstone most. The tulips look great and especially I like the tulip that's hiding - looks somehow really cool.

It's been a while since I have done such an edit, but i don't make many monochrome images anyway. A little bit of colour in a mono image is often very nice, just as the tulips are great 😊

I'm mostly in winter thinking of black & white photos, when there's no colour around anyway 😉

I really like your selective color touches to mono shots. The buoys remind me of chinese lanterns 🙂 The red cap on the milk bottle is perfect. In the last three, the touch of color seems to add emotion to the shots. Fun post Tattoodjay

Uuuuh, colorkey photos - yay! It has been quite a while that I have done any. Seems like you also had the experience that they are a bit divisive. People either love or hate them. I think they have their place and they can make or break a picture.

Your are beautiful and agree with you on your choice for the thumbnail but the street picture is really nice and moody with that bit of creepy green.

Me likes 💜!
