My first #MonochromeMonday post

Some random photos I took and edited in black and white in different and creative styles. As I said in my last post, video editing was super easy for me to learn and master, but photo editing is a bit more difficult for me to really learn and understand. I have all the Adobe Creative Cloud apps. Lightroom and Photoshop I'm still trying to understand the basics of. I edited all these photos in Windows 10 Photos. All the pictures in this post were taken with my Canon Rebel t6, unless otherwise noted.

A Baptist church in my neighborhood. It was built in the early 1900's. I've been seeing swarms of bats over it around dusk every night. Bats are good. They eat mosquitos

My last Wednesday Walk post featured all corn photos. Here is an extra one in B&W.

Hosta flowers taken by the Baptist church. The church is so photogenic that I think I will be uploading more pictures of it in the future. The Northeast US has a lot of old stone architecture that make excellent monochrome photos.

Yet another photo from my day trip to Conowingo Dam in Maryland. I didn't include this in my Boulder Sunday post, but I liked how it came out in black and white with only a few rocks in focus.

Some bulbs I took a photo of in February, 2017. Bulbs usually don't come out of the ground in February in the Philly region, but they did that year. Cherry trees also bloomed very early that year. I then got cold in March, and the blooms didn't do so well.

This is George Washington's Headquarters in Valley Forge National Park in Southeastern Pennsylvania. I will be making a travel video of the park in Autumn. This is one of the very few photos I took when I had a GoPro 5 Black. I didn't like that camera too much. I got it because DSLR cameras are so difficult to focus when hand held. I paid like $400 for it, and I ended up selling it to a pawn shop for only like $50. The picture quality just wasn't to my liking.

A marigold outside of a bank in Oxford, Pennsylvania. I have more photos from that flower bed which I may post later on. I got a butterfly in a few shots too. Butterflies are hard to take photos of. They usually fly away when I get near them.

Thank you for viewing my monochrome photos. I'm trying to upload more often, just in time for the hardfork where posts will likely make less. Tribes have given me incentives to post more often. I believe early adapters will strike gold in time. Even though tribes are centralized, if you have any problems with the moderators of one tribe, you can simply unstake from that tribe and invest in another tribe! It seems like all the popular tags are now tribes. I think a lot of tribe owners are selling a lot of the Steem they're getting from selling tokens and miners. That could be partially why Steem is so low right now. The good news is, people are eventually going to get sick of new tribes forming every day, and will most definitely start ignoring and not investing in any new tribes. That's what I think about it.
