Shades of Gray

2/7/2020

In Hollywood, CGI technology uses a "green screen" to add dinosaurs running after actors, millions of aliens landing on earth, more zombies in the horde, and a host of other activities.  It works.  Why do I bring this up?  Because gray is my green screen.

I love to use gray as my background and platform base covers.  Then I can add overlays, painted backgrounds, textures and even change the color a bit as needed.  So gray is a favorite here in the studio.

Having said that, I found some other gray things to show you.

This hen may have more than 50 shades of gray in her feathers, don't you think?
Picture
Graying senior dogs are among my favorite subjects.  SUCH CHARACTER!
Picture
Gray kitties come in many different varieties.
And whether in color, or black and white, gray tones can showcase a Bernese Mountain Dog.  (Which version do you prefer?)

We've had a couple of gray days here in Northeastern Pennsylvania, but that dastardly ground hog promised us an early spring.  He'd better be right or I just might have to find him.  I hope your weekend is blue and yellow, but if it isn't, we can use a gray background and make it so.

For more "gray" interpretations on this week's theme, head over to Tracy Allard of Penny Whistle Photography, fetching portraits in Coppell and surrounding communities in the Dallas - Fort Worth metroplex.  Look for the link at the end of each blog to move around the circle and see more enjoyable grayness.

Yay! A Berner! I love the textures you've added to the background.
