A day for greys, shadows and black
So is this the day when it seems like I have the idea of a month of colour all wrong? Today we’re going to focus on shades of grey and black.
Sometimes you can find shades of grey just by pointing the camera down to the ground rather than up where the brighter colours live.
Or maybe keep your camera clicking once the sun has gone down so you can capture the places you see by daylight in the shadows instead of the sun.
Or silhouette the subject of your photo with plenty of back lighting.
Or of course you could convert a photo from colour to black and white to see how the look changes.
So today, keep your eyes open for interesting shadows and the places without the bright colours today. Upload somewhere and share a link in the comments today for a chance at today’s prize—each day this week has an art print as a prize, in a colour to match the day’s theme.
Happy snapping!

Grey matter
This photo, or series of photos, was the first thing that jumped to my mind… where I’m from spends about 6 mos of the year in shades of grey, occasionally cut with blinding sun. This last winter was particularly harsh.

Well, so far I’m managing to keep up with your colours and my self-imposed flower theme. My grey photo is here.

This one was hard for me but I managed it. I’m so pleased I’m keeping up with you, usually I start falling behind.

Nice photo shoot taken, that could be helpful for other peoples. But need to photo retouching work done for professional looks.
