Cee’s Compose Yourself Challenge
Week 16
Colour Basics
I think I need to go and take a basic art class…and even then,
with my colour vision loss it is going to
be difficult to discern colours/shades/tones.
Because I am behind with this challenge
I am cheating a bit this week.
I have taken one photo and hopefully created
one warm and one cool abstract image
using Picasa’s duo-tone settings.
MGW tells me that the green is not warm…however, a pale green is included in the warm side of the colour chart.
Forgive me if this is not a warm green.
My maternal Grandfather had an intense dislike of green
(Irish and all that), however,
apparently he looked good in green.
My Grandmother purchased a Green jacket for him,
told him it was brown and he loved it.
He passed away in August 1940 long before his daughter
married in to a family with Irish ancestors! 🙂
What has that got to do with this challenge…
I have inherited his colour vision problems.
However I do like green.
This image does make me want to ‘rug up’.
The dark green and purple/blue (or whatever colour)
are colours are in the colder side of the colour wheel.
This is a cropped version of the original.
The Barwon River on an overcast morning (March 9, 2016).
Definitely a need to rug up in this image.

Sorry about your color vision problems, but your photography is lovely in spite of what’s bothering you now. Best wishes for a good spring in your part of the country.

Thank you. It really hasn’t bother me greatly over the years. Just occasionally MGW will tell me…that’s not blue its teal/green…or whatever. Usually defining shades is my problem.
