Mono Monday a few shots from recent walks

Good morning all another week begins and I hope its a good one for you

As I have a tendency to do I am starting the week with a post of Mono Images taken on walks over the last few days.

One morning I was walking along the Cove walk, a walkways built on top of a Hurricane barrier wall here, I hadn't walked it for ages so that morning i decided it was about time I did.
I had a wider lens on for shots of the view from the walkway, when I saw an Osprey fly over and dive for a fish, I quickly switched to the longer 50-400MM lens and tried to get a shot of it, it was a fair way away by the time I had switch lens but caught this shot of it flying past some piers that I thought worked well in Mono

I say Mono as I often do my edits in other shades and not just B&W but as I prepare this post I notice most of these I did in Black and white so I could call it a Monday B&W post but I think Mono Monday sounds better so will stick with that

Since i mentioned the Cove Walk I felt I should include a shot of the walkway you can see another person walking along if you look closely

Speaking of the person in the last photo I am not that comfortable taking photos of people and tend to use a long lens and take shots from a distance hopefully unnoticed, well on that mornings walk I decided to try and get into my uncomfortable zone and take some shots of people with my 28-75 lens hence from closer to them, some taken with the camera up to my eye and some shooting from the hip, how did I do, not really sure I haven't looked at those shots yet but maybe it will be a future post

Walking along West beach I saw the raining ship the Tabor Roy was anchored off the beach again

Often I see lots of seagulls by the beaches but not so often pigeons but one morning there were plenty of them and a bunch flew from the beach onto the powerlines and I got this shot which Makes me thing of the old Alfred Hitchcock movie Birds

You caught that guy fishing at the perfect moment, I can feel his next moves. I love your BnW shots. Your composition skills shine in them. That first shot is stellar!

Hello dear friend @tattoodjay good morning, I hope you have a prosperous and happy week
I love monochrome photographs, I think it's a great idea to start the week
All the shots are great, but the last one of the birds got my attention.
have a nice day

good morning my friend so far the week is going well I hope yours is going good also

Happy Monday I like that first shot with the Osprey and the piers behind it. When we lived in California, we used to drive by Bodego Bay where the schoolhouse from the Birds is still standing haha
