Monochrome Week:
Contrast is what keeps your black and white images from looking flat; it adds dimension, and dimension can go a long way towards making a photo more engaging. It invites the viewer into the image.
But contrast isn’t just important in black and white, and not every photo needs to have a complete range of tones to be an effective image.
Some people think that low-contrast means lacking in contrast or associate it with flat. Some also believe that the more contrast there is, the better. I disagree.
High-contrast (an extreme range between bright and dark) scenes may confine a viewer’s attention for sure, but a low-contrast (with a narrow brightness range) scene may convey serenity and peace, softness and is characteristic of gentleness and mildness. Creates a feeling of delicacy and lightness.

Of course, there is something dark in it. The whole image gives the atmosphere of isolation and melancholy. It is mystery and sense of timelessness of the world.

The beauty of living in the single-family house is that you have your own little piece of land, and it is up to you want to do with it: a beautiful garden, an active place for kids, or maybe a peaceful patio. Having years of experience of growing crops and trees in Russia helped me grow roses and fruit trees in my backyard in Florida. So, the first thing I did after moving in the new house in Virginia was taking a close look at the new backyard in search of the planting opportunities, and I have found quite a few of them that are interesting and cute.

IF YOUR PHOTOS AREN’T GOOD ENOUGH, YOU AREN’T CLOSE ENOUGH.
I have found this Robert Capa’s quote when I was looking in internet for suggestions on how to improve my close up shots and it give me an idea to set 50mm lens and get the chipmunk closer.
I have to change my tactic of following my prey like a hunter, and point my camera at a single spot and begin to wait with a patience. I spent the entire day laying down on a floor taking shots and in the end I got the shot I wanted! …along with the pain in the back and the wrist.
