Thank you for the opportunity to share 4 of my black and white images in this series focused around water. This is my submission for the monomad challenge.
Water can be a powerful element to photograph and it is a favorite subject of mine to shoot.
A simple reflection combined with intentional camera movement (ICM) can transform an ordinary scene into one with an abstract and minimal quality.
You can photograph water in its frozen state as seen in this alpine lake. The high winds and frigid air set the stage for this dramatic shot with clusters of ice on the frozen lake.
Waterfalls especially are a favorite element to photograph. You can increase your shutter speed to freeze the motion of the water to reveal details once hidden by the falling fast moving water. A long telephoto lens can be used to isolate your subject further.
Or you can slow down your shutter to smooth out the water as shown in this tiered waterfall scene. This can help create a calming image. A long exposure of 1/4 or 1/2 second usually works well.
If you have any questions, please let me know and thanks in advance for your support.

I am loving the first one. Perfect use of black and white IMO!
Much appreciated Tristan! Yes that first was screaming black and white when I first saw it in the field. Thanks!!
ICM is so cool. Pitty there's not many people doing it and posting about it around here.
Welcome to the black and white community.
Thank you! I think ICM is awesome too. Appreciate the welcome!
Congratulations. Today's #monomad first place is yours.
Thank You very much for participating and for being part of the Black And White Community!
Oh wow, that's so great! Thank you!
You're most welcome!
Beautiful shots, Alfredo! That last waterfall one is my favourite!
Huge thanks Kieran! Glad to hear it!
The waterfall is a great shot. I appreciate, too, that you write a bit about your technique. For those of us unschooled in photography, they offer good lessons and new ideas to try.
The alpine lake appears frozen in time. Literally and figuratively. Beautiful job!
Best wishes for Happiness, Health, and Prosperity in 2022!
Cheers!
Thank you for your wonderful words! I just posted a new article on ICM photography.
