Black Watch
Red Mum gave me something to ponder on. It was the Great Colour Challenge. Now I am still a fledgling behind the camera but I wanted to take part.
So far most of the rainbow has been covered:
Red Mum’scollection.
Nathalie’s pink collection.
Darren’s green collection.
Estelle’s blue/bleu collection.
Annie’s yellow collection.
Not to be daunted I went out with the camera the other day and wanted to find inspiration not based on the above colours. It may have had something to do with my mood, because I had the idea of using Black. Ok, ok I realise black is not strictly a colour, it is a neutral. Everywhere I looked and everything I saw was covered by the colours ranges above. I came home without a picture.
So today in desperation not to be outdone, I went back over the photos I have already taken. Keeping to the black theme I give you:
Victoria’s handmaiden at Belfast City Hall
A Gateway in Carrickfergus
Another day another gate.
Black Hat
Shoe cleaning
My sky at night

I love this challenge. I’ll have to give it a go. I love the anglular shot of the hat and the skyline.

Hmmm, it’s a pity all the good colours are taken. Especially as Dunboyne is filled with them

@JD - Wonderful.
@ChrisD - You still have Orange, Purple and white.. But you can take any colour as a guide and use it. Each person will see a colour differently. Sure have a go.

Grannymar,
Orange and Purple are easily available in the Co Antrim marching Season along with a sprinkling of Royal Black Preceptory members

Oooh great idea, can I play? Lovely sunset Grannymar, you’re lucky to have such a great vew. We have an upward sloping back paddock so the sunset is hard to see from the house.

I never allow the black clouds linger for long. They would only prevent me from having fun
