Lost in Translation

Black & White Sunday: Favourite

This week I want you to post a photo of your “favourite”. Be it a place, a thing, a person, a pastime or your holiday. Your favourite anything. Maybe the favourite shot you have taken and still haven’t published. The only requirement for this “favourite” is to make it black and white. It goes without saying that sepia, cool tones and other variations (including selective colouring) are permitted.

My favourite encounter from recent holiday. Say hello to Rina

P.S.
If you haven’t checked out the last Sunday’s post, please do. I have enclosed links to participants’ entries, and I must say that there are some wonderful contributions.

      Thank you, dear. I had so much fun there. Strange to think that it was only a month ago.

    What a beautiful gentle photo, perfect in sepia (?) – that diagonal of trees and the cloud-clothed mountains, and the flowers in the field and the calf-gaze. Lovely

      Oh I am so very pleased that you like it Meg. Thank you. Yes, she got a bit of a sepia treatment. I wanted to give her timeless look 🙂

    Ahh, I saw the sweetest horses and sheep down in the Dales yesterday! If I only had time to convert to B & W for you 🙂 You’ll have to settle for a colour version, when I get to it. 🙂 Lovely music, too, Paula. Thank you for another beautiful post. Wishing you a happy Sunday.

    Well Rina looks like a charmer. And what a peaceful setting.

    Now, choosing a favourite was difficult for me as I have many of them! My thoughts were spinning me round…
    But from this year’s trips it had to be somewhere in Corsica! I loved the whole island but my few hours on Ile Lavezzi were stunning. https://travelwithintent.com/2016/08/14/granite-island-iles-lavezzi-corsica/

    Have a great Sunday Paula

      I think it is any easy themes as bloggers may choose anything. For me it is not easy to come up with two different themes a week, but that’s why I call it a challenge 😁. Have a good Sunday, Sue!

    This is a sort of two-centre-tour photo. First you fix on the very pretty cow looking back at us so intently. Then you are lured off into the distance to go and look at mountains, or maybe venture into the forest. Have a good Sunday, Paula.

          I don’t recall the sounds, but the smell I do recall. I tend to book holidays on a farm from time to time. In any case I would much rather have them as neighbours than the 9its I have now.

        I also have tons of photos to sort out. A lot from this summer and a lot of older stuff too. It would probably be a good idea if I went through my whole library and deleted things I’ll never post/use/look at, but it’s all a question of time.
        Photographing is a time-consuming hobby. Most of the time is spent after the photo has been shot.
