52 Photo Challenge: Week 25-Contrast Color

“Put light against light-you have nothing. Put dark against dark-you have nothing. It’s the contrast of light and dark that each give the other one meaning.”-Bob Ross

This week my assignment for the 52 photo challenge was to capture contrasting colors. I was lucky enough to spend a night at Dillion’s Beach and these photos are from that brief trip. I edited them using a softer light and hope it gives the collection a cohesive feeling.

I’ll be posting a few more photos from the trip later this week. I’m amazed at how I can walk the same beach for years and always find new surprises. Let me know if you have a favorite photo and I hope you have a fantastic week.

    • Thank you! I must have taken 20 shots of those beautiful flowers but I really loved this more unexpected angle the best. I’m glad you liked it too.

    • Thank you! Those rocks were in a little cave that I’ve visited many times before, but the colors hit me differently this week. I’m glad you liked them too.

  7. The contrast between dark and light…the story of life, good and evil, but honestly all I see in these are the Glory of God and his beauty. I especially love the Poppy. It reminds me of my days I lived in California where they abounded!

    • Thank you! I really liked that one too. I took so many of those flowers, but for some reason, this side angle is my favorite. Perhaps it’s the gentle arc of the stems.

    • I took probably 30 starfish pictures, but there was something about being able to see how it’s grabbing the rock that made that photo stand out to me. I miss you too! Let’s chat soon 🙂 You are one of those online friends I really want to meet in person someday. I mean, how much fun would we have in Disneyland together? The mostest, I think.

  13. Alright, there’s probably something old fashioned about me – but I like the sunset picture (1). Generally don’t, sunsets, nor colors so much either – but this one I really like. Hope folks are expanding these images. The sunset is almost a different thing when seen full size – water becomes textured, rocky teeth clearly adjoin the visible land – all understated so lets me “get closer” if that makes sense. All pictures good, but this is where I come back to land. Thanks.

    • It makes me so happy you like that one best. It was the night of the solstice and the sunset was so late I almost missed it. I was playing cards with the kids and then looked up and said “Wow.” I grabbed my camera and ran outside barefoot in my pajamas to capture this shot. The sun disappeared behind the clouds after only taking two shots. People on the beach clapped at how beautiful it was. I felt honored to have seen it.

    Is the first photo the one of the summer solstice sky that you used in your poem?😊

    “Put light against light-you have nothing. Put dark against dark-you have nothing. It’s the contrast of light and dark that each give the other one meaning.” This very nice quote. I love it’s!

    • Thank you so much, Mary! Those are some of my favorites too. It really was such a remarkable sunset, and those rocks are tucked back in a little cave. I’m so lucky to see such beauty.
