Yet another 5 more Shades of Grey

[Ryewolf]

Finally got 5 more Shades of Grey images together, I'm determined to get all 50...

#5

It's been an interesting challenge so far and far more challenging than I expected, it's also yeiled some surprising results. The last image of the 5 was taken from across the road, so I couldn't see the names scratched into the surface. The first image is a white road direction sign, until I took that shot I'd hadn't noticed they were made up of honeycomb patterns.

So that's 20 down, only another 30 to go..I might actually finish it in another 6 months.

Brilliant project and a brilliant shots - keep posting.

Love the textures and patterns

[Ryewolf]

Thanks BP and Chrissy, it is a great project and I've still not been more than 10 miles from my house to find these, sometimes I see likely candidates as I'm driving to somewhere else, so I always stop and grab an image. I can see it getting harder as I go along, many new buildings use steel clad outer structures, but all tend to look samey. I may start cursing you Chrissy or myself for accepting this challenge as I get nearer the end,

Love the textures and patterns

I agree.

I wouldn't have noticed things like this, but seeing your shots makes me see them in a more artistic way. 

Well thought out.

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Nanny, to be honest, who really looks closely at roadsigns, I wouldn't have until Chrissy suggested my original 4 should really be 50. I;ve been creative with angles on occassons but all are shades of grey and not monochromes which woud be easy... I must admit it is getting harder these last 5 have taken over a month to put together.

Mind you it does mean I;ve visited local towns that  wouldn't normaly have in search of the right images and I've also seen things I wouldn't normally have seen. I may come away with nothing for my shades of grey challenge but always come away with something that I liked or wouldn;t have seen otherwise.

I'm waiting to see what you come up with next.

Terrific project RW.....I suspect it is inspiring  some of us to look a little harder at what we think  we see...

At this rate you'll have enough for an exhibition !

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Clicker, I would probably have left it at 4 images. I hope it does inspire people, it certainly did with me. I may not have the 50 images yet, but determined to get them all, no matter how long it takes.

Last year BBC Springwatch did a 100 days of nature challednge where for 100 days you posted 1 image that you;d taken that day. That was also inspring to come up with something different each day,

It's good  to give oneself a project to run adjacent to stuffwe  maybe normally  focus on in photography ... i 've been collecting photos of doors  for a few years..... it's surprising just how varied they and their surroundings actually are ... !! And yes ... i am serious ...

[Ryewolf]

I've no doubt that you are serious, doors is no less worth a subject than my shades of grey, The 50 Shades of Grey challenge might seem daft or unusual to someone else, but like any creative art you've got to push yourself and look further, and this is my way, I just hope at somewhere along the line of creating it, others also enjoy it,

a great set.

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Bill.

[kev7d]

I am always impressed by folks that set a photography challenge and accomplish the challenge! 

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Ron and Kev.

I have been thinking of setting myself a challenge but I dont know if I am capable of pulling it off but I think I will give it a try.

Go for it, a little challenge is always good.

such a great project, really enjoying watching it grow
