Monomad Challenge: "Ultra Macro" Black and White Photography

Today, I decided to do photo hunting here in our Residential area. A simple images that turns into a unique and attractive views if it will converted to black and white. Today's blog as part of #monomad challenge is all about Photo hunting in outdoor views. Today, most of the photos I have was captured using my Cellular phone and camera settings using Ultra Macro. I tried to captured using ultra macro, and I found very unique on it. The first picture shows the old rotten tree found at the middle of the grassy field. Because of its very old, the stem was continuously rotten and eaten by insects like termites. This piece of wood are still solid and it is the only thing left but still continues to rotted.

📸 A Bobwire fences:

Most of the fences can be seen and found here are made of bobwires. This two kinds of fences are in separate areas owned by different landowners. It shows that the place are private and no one can enter inside the areas. This pointed bobwire is very dangerous for those who wants to get here because it stick to the clothes and can gives wounds. This are also captured using ultra macro settings and I noticed that tiny objects can also be seen. One of the fence are formed crossed together and in different kind of style. It can stretch everytime when it used and attached to the post.

📸 Concrete Fence Post:

Land owners preffered to used concrete posts so it wont broke for a very long time. Those fence are attached here in this long concrete posts and it burried on the ground first before attaching those bobwires. Because of its very old thing, moss are already covered the surface and aligning so the fence will become perfect and easily put.

📸 Very Long Concrete Wall:

Aside of that, long concrete walls are also built to the other side of the private land. This will keep the place secured and can avoided broke up easily. Like the concrete posts, it is already covered with moss most of the surface of the concrete walls. This structure was built 5 years has already past and it is still intact until today.

📸 Trees Under the Light:

This tall trees gives a cool and shady areas, expected to have lots of wild animals like birds living in here. For me, it is just like a tree sanctuary where lots of different kinds of trees can be seen and found but not planted by landowner. It was already grows here a very long time already.

Few coconut plants are also grow in the place. One of the main source of income for some resident here, by selling coconuts. This coconut leaves was already broke down to the ground because of the intense heat always happened here.

📸 Dry Branches:

This dry branches was already broke down and it is perfect to use as firewoods. Lots of small branches scattered to the ground and some of it are already rotten. This is only a small branches of tree but with the use of ultra macro, the image looks bigger. This was my very first time to use ultra macro camera settings.

📸 Wild Grass:

This is also a tiny and small wild grass I've found during photo hunt but It also looks bigger because of the Macro settings I've used. This wild grass grows all over the place and most of it are already dried because of the intense heat.

📸 A photo Captured From Other Phone:

I also tried to captured photo using other phone. It looks very nice to see this kind of photo where other phone take picture of the place while the phone was also taken picture by the other phone.

Until next post, have a nice day to all of us.
