Blogging Challenge – a Resumee

January I spend on a blogging challenge.

I did the same challenge in October 2011.

It is kind of fun but also work, hard work sometimes.

The hardest stuff is to motivate oneself.

I usually try to follow a blogging schedule. I try to plan some stuff in advance.

It worked quite well this time – until last Friday. I am still on my little color series.

Thought it might be pretty clever to do the same stuff with a different hero in it.

A Range of Colors

I like to work with duotone pictures.

They have that certain touch. And I can influence that touch on my own.

How to do it?

Take any picture you like.

I took a picture I made in 2005 while being in Vienna.

It shows part of the garden of Castle Schönbrun.

A wider Shade of Pink

Today we try to preserve our photos. Most pictures are stored digitally on hard drives, CDs, DVDs or where ever.

No chance for a proper photo to age and get that lovely yellowed tone.

Isn’t that a pity?

The Old Touch

You remember the photo album of your grandparents?

Those pictures have a special character.

They don’t just tell you about old times, about the history of your family.

They look special, old but somewhat cozy.

The Magic of Colors … Red

What a brilliant and glowing color!

The color that we usually connect with fire. So fire brigades are usually painted

Red is a very strong color and a warm color. A color that stands for energy and live!

 

The word red comes from the Old English word read. It can be traced to a Proto-European root reudh, and in Sanskrit the word ruhdira means red or blood.

The German word is rot.
