Now on to this week’s images …
Mat Coker:
I took this photo at an indie wrestling match in Canada, and it’s one of the few that worked in monochrome. The moment had a graphic-novel feel to it, and monochrome stripped away the unnecessary colour. I love the edge light around the wrestler and along the ropes. It was a challenging lighting environment, and this is one of the shots I keep coming back to!
Todd Takes Pictures:
I took a bit of a down week myself, so I think I’m going to reach back into the archives and share this 2025 image of a Littoral Combat Ship off the coast of San Diego. We were staying at the Navy Lodge at North Island. The fog had just burned off and ship was a bit silhouetted even in the color version. Processing it in B&W matched how I saw this scene in real life … or at least highlighted what I thought was important in it.
Do any of these images speak to you? Tell us what you think.
