According to Anne, ”It motivates, depresses, and makes us happy.” The effect of colour is always remarkable. And now – ”how does color affect your photography?” Read more and find inspiration at Anne’s blog, Slow Shutter Speed !
Many of us have read books about the meaning of different colours… maybe that is one of the reasons why I love green. I like both soft and bright colors, green, purple, yellow and orange being my favorites. Combined with interesting textures, colours make me want new images…immediately. Fragrance and fragile patterns are on my list too.
Even if I love monochrome, colours are my life. In my photography, I will always be that little child in the deep forest – surrounded by the colour green – but all the other tones too.
Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
Colours, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.
– Pablo Picasso
Muted colours are my best friends, I could never wear bold yellow, orange or blue for example. My skin and features are too fair. But for photography every colour can be delicious.
I seldom photograph something just because of its colour – there has to be something more in it of interest…like structure or architectural spice.
Colours, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.
– Pablo Picasso
Purple/ lavender/ lilac Wisteria and the colour grey – their marriage is an indisputable success.
Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? no. Just as one can never learn how to paint.
– Pablo Picasso
This week, show us how colour affects your photography, what emotions it brings out, and which ones are you particularly drawn to?

Jude has started a colour challenge for 2021 – who can resist colours? She starts out with the colour Brown.
Of course there were colours in Łódź as well. And, when I think of the country road in my post this morning…with the oak trees on parade…These city alleyways seem truly related – even the one without trees. Somehow the urban equivalents?
Vibrant is another name for this season – for some short days or weeks before it is all gone in rain, wind and mist. A very suitable challenge for yesterday’s fiery aspen along the road.
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Yellows
My first choice for Cee’s challenge is of course the autumn forest…but a car is OK as well.
In Sweden we use the word ”grey”about things old, dull and dark. A grey day, a grey future, everything looks grey, an old and grey lady or gentleman.
But, the colour grey is just as much a perfect contrasting colour…
as a beautiful colour in its own right. Not only ”only”…
What do you associate the colour grey with in your country?
Yesterday’s drizzle finally brought out the sun. The first time this Autumn, and Glorious.
This walk in Vedema I usually do two times a year – Spring and Autumn.
Each season has its glory…in little things too.
Seing the sun again made my heart sing with every autumn leaf, fruit and berry…
…every spider’s web and pearl of dew.
The trees rejoiced in showing off their splendid grace and colours.
On reaching the lake, I began to realize what was waiting behind the trees, and there it was, the hidden glory unveiled…
A wonderful ending of the walk, and I can leave for China tomorrow – full of expectations and so grateful for this day!
See you in two weeks.
So, there was a slight misunderstanding of Cee’s challenge…from my part. Hopefully I can repair that in the following challenges! Why not join in yourself!
Everything in Nature I love seeing – and the habits are …hiking, using binoculars and camera.
Indoors – I have moved nature inside my house. Today I have 171 pot plants.
Hiking is essential – preferably with my children and my dog.
Autumn will soon be here now – hopefully it will be a colourful one this year.
Spring is my favourite season. Maybe because my favourite colour is green.
Strangely enough, It happened to be the winter pictures I liked to see most of today.
My favourite – Robin – sitting outside my window.
Last week I missed out on the challenge, but this week, with Teal or Turquoise, I knew exactly where to go…to my husbands cousin. The Turqoise Lady. These are all from her home. so, Let’s go inside!
And, seen through the mirror – the painted stairway!
