Jason Laderoute replied
I don’t know what I would have done had I not had my camera with me this day.
Jason Laderoute replied

lightsmith
beautiful. I love such whipsy things.
Jason Laderoute replied
Thanks Lightsmith I’m glad I wasn’t scraping Gum and Chewing Onions when this occurred
mausue
Really like this. Great abstract feel. Love the mono conversion works very well. Nice photography!!
Jason Laderoute replied
Thanks Mausue, actually wasn’t converted
I had taken this one in BW Mode. I do have a Colour Shot which I took for Metering Purposes and forgot to Post when I Loaded these.
rebelgirl
Love your black and white clouds well done :)
Jason Laderoute replied
Thanks Rebelgirl, I can’t help myself, every single day that I have pulled out my camera I am shooting the Sky, I don’t need to justify why could care less if people think that it is cliche

So many people confine themselves to colour. I notice this with lots of landscapes, flowers etc but very few step outside and try for something different. Many people also try to show too much in images. I find that if a photographer can take something inocuocs and make it interesting they are doing well, to do it like this and go mono is great – Very well done!
Jason Laderoute replied
Hey Thanks for the Critique Simon, I really appreciate this, I have been trying to extend myself in ways to be out of the Box, as well as maintaining a steady advance in what I shoot, The Black & White is more in how I see the world around Esthetically speaking and have found that even the most Mundane scenes and subjects come to life in a whole way that was not revealed without having been seen Black and White.
Simon Whittaker
I’ve just looked at again and I think its just amazing.
Jason Laderoute replied
Wow Coool Simon I am blown away with the positive reaction. Thank you so much.

Jason Laderoute replied
Thanks a lot Caroline
It screams B&W I may have been in danger of mere regret if I had not captured these shots that day.
bensound
Great shot Jason, smoky wispy clouds are just irresistable to us fotogs right ?
I bet that like me you find yourself checking the ‘cloudage’ to see if it will make for some good shots whenever you go outside.
Jason Laderoute replied
LOL Yeup tha tis the first thing I check in the Morning or afternoon when ever i happen to wake up, I keep a fairly consistent eye on the sky Ben
Thanks for the comradre in that :O)
