Project 64: out of the box – Week 8 Lavender

This weeks colour was lavender however the lavender in a box of crayola 64 is not what you would think.  It has more of a pink tone with purple hints, instead of the pale purple color that comes to mind. I struggled with this weeks colour. I don’t have a lot of pink in my home and there’s not much in nature this colour yet here. unfortunately I have had to use a photo from my archives. I know this isn’t really in the spirit of a weekly photo challenge but I really couldn’t find anything. I can’t believe we are on week 8 already, I’m really enjoying it and want to collect all 64 colours so for that reason I have used an old photo this week.

This was taken back in September, on day 23 of my 365. I wasn’t even shooting in manual mode at this point. The sky to me has hints of the crayola 64 lavender in it.

 

Day 173

27th February 2011

I bought some foam core white board this weekend so I had a bit of a play around with it today. Another photo of my wedding shoes!

Day 172

26th February 2011

Another photo taken just before bed. This time on a saturday, after a long days shopping. I did find my dream pair of wedding shoes though. I may not have known the style of wedding dress I wanted or many other things but I always knew I wanted purple shoes. This is just a quick photo, I took better photos on the 27th.

Day 171

25th February 2011

I left taking a photograph until late again. Here’s the resulting photo of our desk lamp.

Day 170

24th February 2011

Tonight as I walked home from work I noticed the clouds were a pretty pale peach colour and thought that I would photograph it when I got home. However when I arrived home I changed my mind as the sky around where I lived was not that impressive. 5 minutes later though the sky was getting far more impressive.

As I shot away the colours became more and more vibrant. I couldn’t pick my one favorite so I thought I’d share three today.

Day 169

23rd February 2011

I received this pretty card in the post this morning and knew I had to use it for today’s photo.

Day 167-168

21st February 2011

After work tonight, I baked a chocolate and vanilla marble cake for a charity cake sale the following morning. I decided to blog the recipe on my food blog (recipe available here) so of course I needed a photo. This is my first attempt and I hate it. It’s badly composed and the photo is just generally dull. Needless to say this photo did not make it to the post (I wish I didn’t have to put it up on this blog either but this is the only thing I photographed on this date).

22nd February 2011

Since the cake did not survive in one piece (you can see the cracks in the photo above) I decided to slice the cake up the following morning and take it in like that. Here is my second attempt at getting a photo of this cake for my blog. I’m much happier with this one and I feel it shows off the cake better (this is the one I used on my food blog).

Day 166

20th February 2011

Another photo of my nephew, this time playing in the garden. It was cold out but is was fun to take some photos with plenty of natural light. I took plenty more photos, most of which he was giggling and running around making it difficult to get sharp photos but I have a few I love.

Project 64: out of the box – Week 7 indigo

This weeks colour was indigo. Here’s my take on the colour, a stack of plates with edges as close as I could find to indigo.

 

Day 165

19th February 2011

Bath time for my nephew.
