For Macro Monday, I captured these small monastery bells gently dangling from a weathered wooden beam in Klosterhof Bernried. Their aged metal texture and delicate suspension on steel cables tell a story of time and tradition. The fine details of these rustic bells shine through in monochrome, emphasizing their historic charm and craftsmanship. A peaceful moment frozen in time, where every dangle carries an echo of the past.

My words were wise and never bleak.

flickr turns 21, and what better way to celebrate than with a 21-day photo challenge? Today’s theme: BOLD!

 

Photography offers endless ways to interpret boldness—whether it’s through striking colors, dramatic contrasts, or fearless compositions. This shot embodies boldness with its vivid interplay of iridescent bismuth and the deep red-black tones of the glass bowl beneath it. The geometric patterns, reflective surfaces, and intense hues create a visually powerful statement, making this piece stand out with confidence.

Ways to Interpret "Bold" in Photography:

 

📌 Bold Colors – Vibrant, saturated hues that demand attention

📌 Bold Contrast – Strong light-to-dark transitions for high-impact visuals

📌 Bold Composition – Unconventional angles, leading lines, or dynamic framing

📌 Bold Subject Matter – Unique, daring, or thought-provoking imagery

📌 Bold Textures – Sharp details and intricate patterns that pop

 

From color explosions to monochrome minimalism, from fearless artistic choices to powerful visual storytelling, boldness is about making a statement.

 

Let’s push creative boundaries and celebrate 21 years of inspiring photography—one bold image at a time! 🎂🎊📷

The heart of the bloom of a rose which I bought yesterday as part of a bouquet. It seemed to have an over abundance of petals which I thought lent themselves very nicely for a frame filling macro shot

I brought them in from the garden this morning and I was trying to avoid having to show the nibbled bit of one of the tulips as I thought it would upset the 'equilibrium' of the composition (sounds pompous but you know what I mean). I decided though that the little nibbled bit deserved to have its fifteen minutes of fame! 😊
