I love photographing windows. I like architectural character, I love shutters especially those with peeling paint and I like reflections – here you can just about make out some ornate wrought-iron railings of the opposite balcony.
Pauline of Gypsy Life and Memories are made of this has invited me to join in with this challenge. If you don’t know Pauline (Pommepal) then you are missing a treat. Living in Australia Pauline is always on the move with her lovely Jack by her side.
There are only two rules for this challenge:
- On 5 consecutive days, create a post using either a past or recent photo in B&W.
- Each day invite another blog friend to join in the fun.
Today I would like to nominate Elizabeth Krall to join in. Of course this is only if you have the time and want to.
Elizabeth is an author, loves tall ship sailing, drinking cocktails, travel and is a great photographer. I think she’d be excellent with this challenge.
I love taking window photos as well!
We DO have a lot in common 😀
There is a lot of character in this photo. I love the shutters.
Thanks Julie 🙂
That is a lovely shot. It would be nice in colour too, but the black and white really adds depth and drama to it.
It is nice in colour – the colour is a very soft blue-green. I think the reflections and window frame are much more noticeable in the B&W.
Yes, good point. We’d be so busy admiring the colour that we might not notice the reflections perhaps.
Me too, although some ‘airy fairy’ plants are nice too. 🙂
Hi Jude, Thank you very much for the invite! However, as you already seem to be aware, I don’t think I can manage a photo a day for five days (!). Also, I can’t think of five people I feel I know well enough to invite. But I am pleased you thought of me. 🙂
BTW, great texture on those wooden shutters!
That’s OK. Feel free to just post one if you can and you don’t HAVE to invite anyone else to join in.
Oh, that’s easier! 🙂 I can rustle up a few b&w over the weekend. In fact, I have a few hundred photos (and their RAW files) that I still need to process, so I have some ideas already. Thanks again for the invite!
I see those railings Jude! You know how much I love old shutters and the B&W effect is stunning 🙂
Hopefully my images will germinate some ideas for you 🙂
Definitely 🙂
Works on all levels this one, Jude 🙂
Perfect Jude getting better and better.
Thanks PP.
