The hydrangea in our garden has gone from the palest of blue tinged cream, to a vibrant blue and is now deepening to violet. The petals are still curled and the variation in tone and depth of colour is quite beautiful. Black and white seems to emphasise the contrasts and shadows created by the tightly furled blossoms.
I’m joining in with Charly’s Black and White Photography Project over on PODCast.
We have a blue and pink one on our lawn and I love watching them change colour.
They are beautiful, aren’t they x
Beautiful Sara, I love how you can see all the details in monochrome. Just wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing and linking up #bwphotoproject.
Thank you Charly, and thank you for hosting x
hydrangeas are the prettiest flowers.. to have them in your own garden must be overwhelming. :>
They are lovely, one of my favourites x
Flowers always look as perfect in black and white, I think it’s because of the detail it picks out. Beautiful! #bwphotoproject
You do see more detail, don’t you? Thank you x
That looks gorgeous in black and white, really picks out the shapes and the shadows.
Thank you Louise x
Great shot – the monochrome seems to bring out more of the complicated structure of the flowers.
Thank you x
I always love flowers in B&W. The depth of lights and darks are so amazing. #bwphotoproject
