(Edited)

First of all a happy new year and the best wishes for 2026, for all the contributors of the Black and white community , and the admins ofcourse .

Now then this is my contribution to the #monomad challenge.

Yesterday we had a new years visit from my daughter , son in law and granddaughter so i decided to bake a spice cake .

For those that don't know spice cake it's dark brown almost like a chocolate cake.

1 ) So i decided to take some photos of the cake on the cake plate

Sony A7IV camera + Sony 24-105mm F4.0 G OSS

3 ) Yesterday after the snow the sun decided to show it self , giving me the oppertunity to make some snow photos of the street we live in.

5a ) While thise image was taken with a different camera and lens at 15mm and a high shutter speed to freeze the snowflakes, but you can also see the difference in view angle from 24mm and 15mm

It's interesting how the cake comes to life in a different way when viewed in black and white, as you present it to us... Against the snow-covered backdrop, simply magical!

i have an old cookbook from 1954 where they also used black and white photography to show the dishes from some recipies. Always nice to look back on how things started.

Wow, that dessert looks delicious 😋, the photos with snow are beautiful. Personally, I've never had the chance to see it in real life, but at least I enjoy it in such great pictures as these you share. Greetings!

snow is magical , it makes a city sound less noisy simply because it absorbs sound waves
