What I liked about this image with a conversion to Black & White was the tonal contrast that came out in the steel truss structure with the bridge. By positioning the sun just behind the bridge, it added a glow that seemed to come out better in Black & White.
This macro shot was taken with a Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens coupled with a Quantaray + 3 magnifying filter. I obtained the magnifying filter from the Ritz/Wolf camera website for around $25.
The vibration reduction (VR) eliminates most of the shake during a handheld shot and the magnifying filter gives a much closer view of the cell structure.....
One caveat - the magnifying filter has a very limited depth of field and can be tricky when trying to get the correct focal point. I had to take a half dozen shots to get one that worked.

The patterns delineated here have not yet been classified by a Linnaeus of human bondage. They are all, perhaps, strangely, familiar.
In these pages I have confined myself to laying out only some of those I actually have seen. Words that come to mind to name them are: knots, tangles, fankles, impasses, disjunctions, whirligogs, binds.
I could have remained closer to the ‘raw’ data in which these patterns appear. I could have distilled them further towards an abstract logico-mathematical, calculus. I hope they are not so schematized that one may not refer back to the very specific experiences from which they derive; yet that they are sufficiently independent of ‘content’, for one to divine the final formal elegance in these webs of maya.

The monochrome perspective of a bridge connecting two urban buildings emphasizes the harmonious connection between nature and architecture.

Fagus Factory, Alfeld, Lower Saxony, Germany
(Architect Walter Gropius, 1911)
"In 2011, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee added the Fagus Factory to the world heritage list. It is now one of the 42 world heritage sites in Germany.
As the first building in the trend associated with modern industrial architecture, the Fagus Factory (which was built in 1911) represented the initial work of architect and Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius.
Carl Benscheidt, the forward-looking and innovative company founder, entrusted the young architect Walter Gropius with the task of building a shoe last factory.
The Fagus Factory represents an architectural concept that was the first to consider the requirements associated with light, air and clarity and to make use of glass and steel in a manner corresponding to a brand new construction style. The glass-and-steel structure and the unsupported glazed corners endow the building with a casual elegance that was quite extraordinary at the time compared with other factories of the period.
The factory has been a listed architectural monument since 1946. The entire factory was completely restored between the years 1982 and 2002 and it is now in a better condition than ever before.
The name of the factory is derived from the Latin ‘fagus sylvatica’, which means ‘beech’ or ‘beech wood’. Beech wood is the traditional raw material for the production of shoe lasts."
Historically Yass, an important rural service centre on the Yass River, a tributary of the Murrumbidgee, was a town in the heart of one of the country's prime sheep growing areas. It was noted for its high quality wool and merino studs. Over the past thirty years has become increasingly known for its vineyards and its classy produce. By passed in 1994 it is no longer a stop on the Hume Highway but rather a quiet town with a broad main street, a number of attractive parks, a collection of handsome historic buildings

Lining for a nest going in.
They build a spiderweb structure among the gum leaves, it appears flimsy, but it is well hidden.
As it's built on the outside leaves, it's interesting to see it swaying back and forth in the breeze.
In capturing this architectural structure, I aimed to transform a functional element into abstract composition. I chose an angle maximizing leading lines and dramatic contrast. The black and white treatment amplifies the scene's pure geometry, while perspective creates visual tension guiding the eye. My intention was to reveal hidden beauty in everyday architecture, reducing it to its purest essence: lines, shapes, and shadows.

A lady was throwing pieces of bread to a flock of birds, mostly seagulls and black headed gulls so I stopped to try and get a few shots. Whilst the birds aren’t perfectly sharp in this shot I don’t think that detracts from the moment. It took me another couple of attempts changing settings before I caught the birds sharp and in flight. I shot 527 images in 9 minutes such was the speed of the action. No autofocus, no AI.
