Silvery Shades of Gray

City Daily Photo has challenged members to post a photo dominated by one color.  I chose this picture of wind-generated ripples on the lake. (Yes, this is a color photo.)


I also considered a deer picture, since at this time of year their brown coats tend to blend in with the brown leaves.


As I browsed through recent photos, I noticed a few dominated by a blue sky. I couldn't resist sharing this one of Canada Geese flying in the evening. Back in the days of film cameras, I would have missed this shot because they were flying our of the clear sky and through a dark forested area as they came in to land on the lake. I appreciate the ability of my digital camera to quickly open up for extra light. I don't even mind the color cast.

  1. I'm glad to see others took the theme not literally but included shades of one color. Nice choices.
