For this lot of photos I have gone back and found a few old ones and have added a couple of new ones. I chose to use monochrome as I think it adds to the vintage feel of my images.
Is the colour you like bold or subdued. Should a photo stand out on it’s own or blend the colours? Does it sit at the front or stay in the back for someone to discover? I think I like colour. My house is colourful and my garden is colourful.
I don’t know where to start or what I am doing but lets see where this post takes you and me.
Let’s kick off with selective colour, one of my favourite effects
A fluffy Eastern Yellow Robins yellow just stands out more
Just the red on a Black Jezebel butterfly stands out
A leaf stuck on a window after a storm looked interesting but more so with selective colour I feel
Red always stands out
But can also be subtle
But is never missed
Green can be quite fluorescent
or just be a hint of colour
Some blues are hello
but also quiet
It’s a hello yellow
or try to find me in the grass
or among the trees
A pink to catch the eye
or to gently cascade
and be small and dainty
or pop out among the others
As Anne said the colours in rust are a favourite
Small and white a discovery
or be a showy presence in the garden
and have a subtle blend
with pastels and strong green to stand out
and a mix of colours that attract the eye
or add colour to a dull day
But a riot of colours that make you look more than once is always a favourite
Well that was a bit of a long post but I hope you enjoyed a bit of the colours in my life or actually in bushboys world
Patti from the Lens-Artists sent us on a scavenger hunt to hunt for things that are Red
I had to go to town yesterday so I set out to find a few things from around town instead of my usual combing my place for bits of red among the nature that abounds here at times.
Here is what I found
A red post and a fortuitous red car driving pst
A red motorbike at a service station with bits of red everywhere
A red ute livening up the street
I just happened to be near the Fire Station when the truck came out of the station
OK I did lie. I had to include the miniature red Hibiscus in my garden that are just flowering as there has been good rainfall over the past two weeks
