And while we keep waiting for warmer Spring days, I enjoy the beautiful effects that a cloudy day offers for monochrome photography.
I am posting for the Photo101 Rehab, the event for everyone who loves photography (hobbyists, amateurs, pro-shooters, or just curious , anyone is welcome), and wants to join a community of like-minded people, who are also fun to connect with.
Want to know how to join? Check below.
Here is what ‘The Clinic Photo Rehab is:
This blog hosted ‘The Photo101 Rehab Clinic’ from 04 to 31 December 2014 and featured over 170 photos made by Photobloggers Andy Townend, Mara Eastern, Cardinal Guzman, DesleyJane, Justine, Amy, Teresa, Albert, Terri, Giving Thought, Ellen, Nalinki, Mariangeles, DwayCrafts, Lucy, Terri, Bampa’s Views, PeaceCrafting, Dreaming of Leaving and Project Easier.
As former patients informed me that the withdrawal symptoms remained active, and new patients recognized the same symptoms, The Clinic – Photo Rehab reopened its doors.
You can do a self-examination. If you detect any of the following symptoms, as carefully described by Albert from the blog Passionately Curious, come and join us: “Withdrawal symptoms may include the incessant need to carry your camera everywhere with you, the need to wake up in the wee hours to take photos during the golden hour, and checking up on others you met during the course to see what their newfound knowledge has brought fruit to.”
How to join:
Time: The Clinic is open 24 x 7 until the healing process ends.
Camera: You can use any camera, from DSLR, mirrorless, compact, to smartphones.
Theme: Bring your creativity and photograph a theme of your liking in B&W or Color. With or without edition. We like learning techniques as well, if you want to share it with everyone.
Who can join: Anyone can join; and not only former Photo 101 bloggers. All you need is passion. Passion to speak up through images – or words, if you may want to add your thoughts to it as well – showing what you see and how much that is important to you.
Thanks for joining and enjoy it.

While it’s a joy to appreciate nature in all her stages, I know the feeling of longing for warmer spring days. We are in the midst of a gorgeous pattern of lovely days, but have had little rain. You’re spring will pop and you will feel glorious. Enjoyed your monochromatic images.

Thanks for the good wishes, Sally. I am afraid the weather prognosis is not as optimistic as you are, for the next days. But we are used to it anyways.
Glad you liked the monochrome. It was an easy conversion as the clouds were dramatic in itself, and I didn’t have to increase contrast nor clarity. The filter did the work.

The textures in that first photo are stunning! It still looks wintery and moody the way you captured it. I need to get more confident using B&W. 🙂
