Life in Colour – Environmental Blues for July

Blues in the environment are one of my favourite subjects for photography.

Jude reminds us when looking for blues this month that:

“Blue. A primary colour that we look upon almost every day. But don’t forget about the different hues which include indigo and ultramarine, cyan and the other blue-greens such as turquoise, teal, and aquamarine.

I did some blue sky thinking…and looking through my archives.

Blue Skies thinking:

The blue sky found its way onto the bonnet of my blue car.

A rainbow brightens up the blue sky.

And the clouds blew over to hide the blue skies.

Then there are the glacial blues in the mountain lakes.

Lakes:The reflected skies in the lakes always transfix me with the beautiful blues.

Perhaps I will capture some different blues before the end of July.

SundayStills – Some of my Best Black & White Photos

I love black and white photography and I try to aim for the moon. I look for compositions and light that works well for the genre. Here are my offerings.

“Aim for the moon and even if you miss you will land amongst the stars”

Lighting in the landscape sets the scene for stunning scenery be it stormy or calm waters or even over the top geography of rural roads.

Flowers and vegetables have interesting textures that often work well in black and white.

Sculpted statues are some of my favourite subjects to capture in black and white.

SundayStills – Fog and Clouds of Aotearoa – the Land of the Long White Cloud

I love clouds. I once tried a project of photographing clouds every day for a month. I was a little concerned there might be some cloudless days but I was in luck – or maybe I just chose a cloudy month. Or is it because I live in New Zealand/Aotearoa – the land of the long white cloud?

It is so intriguing gazing at atmospheric skies. Clouds are a never-ending source of fascination.

Here is a selection of foggy sunrises , misty clouds with fringes of sunlight and a couple of lucky rainbows just because. Did I mention I love rainbows too?

Life in Colour: Brown

Brown buildings – from boathouses to driftwood huts, brown appears to be a favourite colour for buildings. I found some brown architecture in the local landscape.
