Colour

I’ve struggled for a while with colour in my images. Somehow it never seems to come out right, so initially I was drawn towards black and white. And though black and white has its place in photography, I believe that being versatile is very important in the world of photography and art.

Tonight, I finally uploaded colour images of landscapes and birds - images that I’m satisfied with for now. It has been a challenge for me to get my images looking the way I want them to in colour, and this is a step that I need to take to review and display my images for others to provide valuable feedback.

It’s amazing how long it takes to develop a sense of what you want, and that keeps changing as we change. Our mood often determines what is produced as a finished image. What we create is ultimately a result of all our experiences and knowledge acquired put into physical form.

The next step is for me to print my images as often as I can to determine what I need to tweak so as to achieve a result that can be something I can be quite satisfied with.
