Coombe Abbey Country Park - Coventry

A couple of shots from shoot today. Weather was pretty overcast, so perfect excuse to shoot Mono . You might find a few other shots appear on this thread from some other togs at the shoot

The vital thing with successful mono is that it has to be interestingly drab.

Re: Coombe Country Park - Coventry

Lovely.That second one has so many areas of interest yet is complete as a whole [does that make any sense?].Top notch conversion to mono and interesting they most certainly are.
Cheers,
John.

Not as striking as Dave's, but keeping in the mono theme

Some more good and interesting mono shots and an inquisitive bird [Great Tit?] so even if the weather was not 'great' the day was a success
