Monochromatic Majesty
I typically see the world in an explosion of colour, capturing its vibrant essence through my lens. However, on that morning at the Kiama Rockpool, as I reviewed my shots, something different caught my eye. There was this one image, which seemed to naturally dismiss the need for colour. The monochrome tones spoke louder than any colour could. It stood out, almost as if it was meant to be seen in grayscale. The swirling waters, the dark rocks, and the soft light of the morning worked together in a serendipitous harmony that required no additional hues. Processing this image, I was drawn to the way the lack of colour emphasized the drama and the textures, making the scene feel even more powerful and compelling. It was a reminder that sometimes, the absence of colour can convey a scene with a profound clarity that colour might otherwise overshadow.
