5 Day Black & White Challenge: Day two

 

 

 

The rules are simple:c

1) post a black & white photo daily for 5 days

2) Invite someone different to participate each day. (because no one wants to play alone!)

For Day 2, I am happy to invite  Viveka at https://mygulitypleasures.wordpress.com/

She is the most colourful lady I know. I wonder what she would come up with in black and white?

No strings attached if you don’t feel up to it.

5 Day Black & White Challenge: Day One

 

Scrapydo at

http://scrapydo2.wordpress.com/ invited me to take part in the 5 Day Black & White Challenge.

She originally comes from The Netherlands, but is now living in my favourite country, New Zealand. Many are the lovely flowers and quilt works and dog shots from her. Her favourite companion is Trompie.

Thank you for inviting me!

For Day 2, I am happy to invite  Stefan at http://vanerpaddel.com/  to participate in this challenge. Stefan has the most wonderful outdoor photos and loves kayaking.

No strings attached if you don’t feel up to it.

# 90 Färdas – Travel (90/365)

Att färdas längs en grusväg, vid vatten, är en skön naturupplevelse…oftast. Denne stackars man kämpade vingligt fram i kall och häftig motvind.

Travelling along a gravel road, close by the water, usually makes you feel happy and light at heart…but this man had to struggle hard in the tough winds.

# 59 Ensamstående – Single/Standing alone (a play on words) (86/365)

WPC: Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds is something you learn to see if you haven’t got this ”seeing” from the start. I believe that the more photos you take – and study other photographers’ works – the easier you will find your own ”seeing” of what looks best. Then it doesn ‘t have to follow any rules at all…really.

My try for the WordPress challenge is tulips and a leaf from my ”Russian” begonia. Click here for more entries.

 

Travel Theme: Energy

Energi – Energy, almost the same word in both languages. And from the people of Tibet in the Himalayas, I send pictures for Ailsa’s theme, showing some of their most useful energy sources.

The sun, the water and the dung.
