Thematic Photographic 278 - Greyish

Into the woods
London, ON
January 2014
I haven't been shooting as much lately as I'd like to be. Between the everyday stuff that fills the day and often cantankerous weather that forces the camera to stay put, my output is way down. Not that it's a volume game, mind you - I'd rather take a few memorable photos than a ton of lousy ones - but when I'm not even laying down anything on the memory card, something's got to give.

So when the post-Polar Vortex weather turned into an above-zero fogfest couple of weeks ago, I grabbed my camera and went for a walk. I didn't have to go far before that old familiar feeling crept back into my head. The one where themes almost seem to materialize on their own, and you feel as if you're simply along for the ride.

I realized how much I missed the process, and decided it made no sense for the weather to clear before scheduling another shoot. As the mercury heads back into polar territory, I think another walkabout - a quicker one this time - may be called for. No more lulls, because my camera needs a workout. So does my head.

Your turn: Please take a picture that evokes this week's theme, greyish, and post it to your blog or website. Leave a comment here letting everyone know where to find it. Drop by other participants to share the experience, and feel free to post more examples through the week. Use the #ThematicPhotographic tag if you're tweeting your links out.

    Well, as your picture proves, we are having some shades of grey, pretty much all the time. Unless, one is from a sunny side of the world! Like our friend, Cloudia! Here's mine

    oh we have been so grey here as well. Day after day of it...it is consistent if nothing else and it makes the weeks all sort of blend in to one another if we don't get out of doors and do something to mark the passage of time.

    I like that description of feeling you're along for the ride. I often get that feeling when I'm doing something creative, and I love it!
