The Colour Of Poppy
The Colour Of Poppy

Taken for SSC 2nd Anniversary 27/10/2018 -- A shot that involves something that you have taken and learnt from the previous challenges .
First of all Happy 2nd Anniversary SSC and a big thank you to Karen and Val for running the group .
Well , a tough one indeed as I have totally enjoyed being in the group and have taken on board so much over the last couple of years and I am positive that my photography must be better for all the challenges . Out of around a hundred challenges what one has been the most educational - difficult to say . However , the one that made my eyes pop the most was the one set by Sami ( thank you Sami ) which was simply to take a shot of something red and turn it into a black and white image ! Sounds it a bit of an odd thing to do - not so ! They say photography is painting with light and this challenge shows the depths of this . When viewed in black and white the red elements in the shot show up in varying shades of grey and in the case of my shot using a red filter the result is a pure white image !! An eye opener indeed , I have not messed about any further with other colours - could be interesting .
Now the shot here is the the church in Great Bookham and at the moment the lych gate is decorated with knitted red poppies coming up to the 100th anniversary of the end of World War One . On the left is the local war memorial and viewed through the lych gate is a silent soldier silhouette . In the first comment box is a colour shot of the scene so you can see the effect of the conversion .

For sight and sound a song I have never heard before
