The world is a kaleidoscope¹ of colour so this month let’s celebrate that with the brightest / most colourful images you can find.

¹(Something that is made up of a lot of different and frequently changing colours or elements)

This month we will be looking for Black or Grey. Black is not a colour at all. Theoretically it is the absence of all colour. Yet black is distinctive. Lines are bolder, shadows deeper, colours brighter against a black background.

This week we are back in the Lake District where you can find many different shades of grey in both the natural world and man-made constructions.

This month is not about creating black and white photographs, but in finding the true blacks or greys in a colourful world.

If you haven’t already shared your blacks or greys then hurry up – the final month of the colour challenge begins on Sunday.

A bonus Black

This month is not about creating black and white photographs, but in finding the true blacks or greys in a colourful world.

The black swan (Cygnus atratus) is a large waterbird, a species of swan which breeds mainly in the southeast and southwest regions of Australia. Within Australia, the black swan is nomadic, with erratic migration patterns dependent upon climatic conditions. It is a large bird with mostly black plumage and a red bill. Although native to Australia there are some living in the UK. This one was photographed at the Claremont Landscape Garden in Surrey.
Do you have any Black Birds?
