Despite the gloom and dampness I wanted to get some fresh air. It was actually quite warm for winter so an enjoyable local walk.
On a grey day after rain I love seeing the richness of any remaining autumnal colour.
Johanne's room faces north and it was dark and a bit grim before. I have panted the floor glossy white. One wall is covered with a vintage wallpaper by a German designer. All the other walls are white. I have made the curtains a bit too long for the window to try to make the window seem taller than it actually is. The room is pretty narrow and small but with all the white it is a very nice room to be in. I love the colour splashes - the pouf (by zid zid a brand I sell at the shop- see my profile for info), the carpet (Ikea) the thrifted bed spread...
I came across this scene on a photo walk with my adult education centre’s photography group.
I love the warm colours that really stand out against the dreary surroundings. I tried to intensify this impression using the colour splash technique.

This morning I was after reflections in the rain and was hoping for umbrellas, after a while one turned up!

Pure milk dropped into a single droplet of milk on a black plate. Red dye added with a fine wire to colour parts of it.
After every single try you have to reset and start again *sigh*

This picture was also taken in 2009. I like it´s simpleness. Hope you´ll like it too.

A few more quick, rough, shot from the hip people watching pics from the snowy Meadows yesterday. Normally I stick to monochrome for my street shots, but it felt better to shoot in colour, perhaps because with the snow everything was a bit too black and white already and the colour splashes were needed, I'm not sure, but I generally just go on gut instinct for street photography.

I was trying to find a photo to fit the theme "Spikey" for a challenge group and thought that I would try something a bit different. After trying a few macros of the spikey stingers on some nettles and then taking a few photos of barbed wire I had the idea of squirting coloured water onto my white floor tile so that the splashes (hopefully) looked a bit spikey.
I poured red, orange and blue food colouring into three glasses and added water to each and then used a syringe to squirt a little bit of water from each of them a couple of times. Then it was just a case of mounting the camera on a tripod overhead to take a photo after I had finished.
After having a few goes and having to wash the tile and dry it in between attempts this was my favourite photo.
The last couple of weeks there have been many beautiful red admirals (Vanessa atalanta), feeding on the rugosa rose hips at the beach where we live.
A nice last summer-like experience before everything is withered.

A lost & found oldie from 2006, reviewed and freshly re-edited.
Shot on unknown film (possibly some Agfa or Kodak slide) with a Lomography Colorsplash camera.
Just wish they would remarket this one, since mine has been broken for quite a while now.
Saturday Self Challenge
The next challenge will be Selective Colour
I think most of you are familiar with the technique of creating a black and white image and leaving one color on the subject you want to bring attention to. There are several processing programs to achieve this effect, such as photoshop, Photoscape, PicMonkey, etc. If you don't have any processing program, below is a link to GIMP, a free program
It didn’t take me long to find this shot, the sycamore tree is one of several just outside the house. I took around 10 photos to get the light right on the upper leaf. About 20 feet up in the branches from where I’m standing we have two rather noisy magpies nesting, no doubt the chicks in the nest will be as vocal as their parents soon.
I used an app on my iPad called Colour Splash for the selective colour. The colouring in of the leaves from B&W was done using my Apple Pencil, without it I don’t think I could have got the edges of the leaves as neat.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Catherine Parr was Queen of England and of Ireland (1543–47) as the last of the six wives of King Henry VIII, and the final queen consort of the House of Tudor.
She married him on 12 July 1543, and outlived him by one year. She was also the most-married English queen, with four husbands. Her tomb lies in the private chapel at Sudeley Castle in the middle of the Cotswolds, the only Queen of England buried on a private estate
