Acts of Randomness

Colour Project

I decided that I need some projects and in June I went on a photowalk. I was struck by the fact that quite a few of my favourite pictures had a lot of yellow in them. So I decided I am going to concentrate on one colour per month for a year - randomly chosen. June is yellow, the allocation for July is blue. August's challenge is orange.

July - Blue

Taken: July 2025

Taken in July in Northampton - I actually know one of the people that own the shop - very expensive ladies clothing down a side street, but one of the few Blue photos that I actually like. I thought that I wouldn't have much trouble finding good photos of blue things, but despite being surrounded by NHS Blue I wasn't very inspired.

June - Yellow

Yellow writing saying Keep Clear in front of the bottom of a yellow garage door, with a puddle in front over a single yellow road line, with two yellow and black bollards and a reflection of the yellow garage door.

Camera: Canon EOS250d EF-S24mm f/2.8, 1/250sec at f/5.6 ISO 200

Taken: June 2025

This was one of the photos that I took on a photowalk in Birmingham that probably kicked off the colour project really.
