The Beauty of Black and White

The club has been busy lately. We had a great outing today to Russborough with special tasks :)
Blog to follow in due course!
Today however, I wanted to share some of our members' black and white photos.  Black and white is wonderful for capturing simplicity and mood and the monochrome lends itself to a bit of drama too.  I think we all like to play around with black and white as a contrast to the vibrancy of colour. Below are some pictures taken by members, some recent and some old favourites.

First two are by myself, both sculptures, the first from the NCAD Degree Show and the second from Russborough House.

Appropriately the next two are by Niamh O'Connor. From beach to town, black and white works in so many ways!

Next one is by Dave, our hardworking Secretary! And I'm sure you'll agree that this is a pretty adorable looking pet.

Rob has taken a beautiful shot of a swan - I think the black and white really shows of the elegance of this lovely creature.

Last but not least is this fabulous capture of two horses by Phil Cummins.

I hope you have enjoyed this selection of pictures and don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
