My Favourite Colour

Photo Challenge
Week One
My Favourite Colour

Sounds simple enough, but it ended up harder than I thought.
I have a strong affection for green, but it is not my favourite colour.
I am also drawn to orange, but again it is not my favourite.
Then there is red. Until recently I never gave it a thought, but more and more is making its way into my home and I love it!

So where is this leading?

To BLACK and WHITE!! I love black and white, it is my favourite colour combination. I know there are purists that will argue neither are actually colours but I love them. My shoes, my hand bag, wallet, all accessories are always black. I always have black trousers, Capri's, shorts. This summer my new top is white with black, grey and a bit of bling.

On to photos. I haven't experimented with black and white photography before and I seriously need to practice. I know these are not good. Contrast seems to be the key.

For this weeks challenge I went to a favourite place, the beach, and tried to capture it monochromatically.








The last photo is a personal favourite. My younger daughter and a long time (older) friend of mine. On the jetty feeding the fish. Just a snippet from our week.

Thanks Leanne for the Challenge. I so wanted to take part.

Next week will be interesting - clouds.
Lots and lots of hazy blue sky here and nothing else!

Favourite colour

Photo Challenge
week 1
Favourite colour.
For me that would be green

Week 1 - Fav colour

I walk past this plant each morning on my walk. I have no idea what it is called but I think it might be some sort of weed. I have never noticed it has little testicle looking thing on it until I stopped and got up close.

Week 1 - Fav colour

love that green

Week 1 - Fav colour

Just playing here.

Week 1 - Fav colour

not sure how I got this as it is actually the sign that is green which has turned out white and the black sky turned out green.

How hard is it to photograph spider webs?




Well I find it hard! We had twin spiderwebs glistening in the sun this week and I just could not get THE shot! School holidays here, woohoo, hope to get out and about a bit with the camera.

magic.........

this always reminds me of magical places..............when you find a full dandelion head it is like a special lucky find.................they last for such a short period of time..............then gone forever...........

wonder if there are any fairies in the dandelion................

wished I had a macro lens...............

then life started to end for the dandelion.............

special magic...........
