Brashley Photography has a challenge, Mid-week Monochrome. The topic this week is roses.


Alive and Trekking hosts the Which Way Photo Challenge. Here’s my contribution this week.
2020 Photo Challenge is about working on techniques to improve one’s photography. This month’s theme is patterns. Here are some of the host’s suggestions:
February:
Being Creative with Patterns
look for various types of patterns – squares, circles, triangles and so on.
Shoot from a different perspective. Look up, look down or shoot from a distance
Break the pattern, disrupt the continuity in some way
Use pattern as a background for a more substantial subject.
Patterns in Vienna:
Palace fence pattern
Candy bowls
A mistake that generated light wave patterns
Wooden floor tessellation
Three patterns in one photo (Cologne)
Screen pattern as background for moth
Patterns in nature:
Patterns in art (Palestine and Egypt):
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge continues with the theme of colors. This week the topic is basically one color or hue.
This photo was not shot nor edited black & white. The trees and clouds actually looked like this on a spring day in northern Wisconsin.

Some animals are the color they are to blend in with their environment, such as hyraxes who hide among the rocks where they live, mongoose who inhabit giant anthills, and even a hippo with just its eyes & ears above the water. (All photos taken in Tanzania.)
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge continues with her color series – this week it is pastel colors.
Some flowers are bright, while others have muted colors. Most marigolds are bright, but these are soft yellow and white.
Dahlias come in all colors – some are bright, some are light.
Artists experiment with all kinds of color schemes. These are some pastel colors in artwork.
