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.

Musings from a Frequent Flying Scientist
Very cool – the clouds look fantastic! Hopefully spring will arrive soon for you.
I hope you words will be heard and come true. Thanks Debbie.
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.
Love the drama of clouds in black and white. Well who can blame us, we are drama Queens. Xx
Oh yes, we are the drama Queens and the clouds follow us when they see us wit our babies Olympus! xx
We should get t-shirts lol.
Great idea! Let’s go for it.
LOL
Stunning water&clouds!
Wish you gorgeous spring days ….
In the meanwhile , we enjoy these magnificent pics!
Thanks Anna, may your wishes come true soon! More to come…
Feliz aniversário, Lucile 🙂
Obrigada, Paula! 😉
Love this shot, Lucile!
Thanks much, gfchopstix.
Very dramatic. Nice. Finding the silver lining in the winter clouds? 🙂
Yes, Phoenix, better be optimistic, isn’t it? Thanks for dropping by and commenting.
I like how the sunlight makes the water sparkle.
Thanks, Mista Max!
Haha just what i’m feeling right now! I want this winter to end right now!
Brother and sister indeed! Lol
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. 🙂
Thanks Terri. It feels wintery here…
Give a try to B&W and I am sure you will like it.
Beautiful black and white
Why thank you!!
