A Grey Day

I have been out most of the day and it has been a very grey day indeed. Some much needed rain though. It hasn't rained for over two weeks until today.

I thought I would split this picture taken in Newcastle into a triptych. I think the splashes of red brighten up the grey sky.

So love this atmosphere !!!!

[Margo]

great collage Babs

[Diane]

Nice collection of shots making up this triptych. Good you are getting some rain Babs.

[Peter]

Very creative triptych panel from a single image Babs, each panel beautifully captured and aligned produceing a very pleasing result:)

[ChristineL]

The red certainly brightens up the grey day, nice to see a little break in the clouds too.

[Hazel]

It looks a little English, Babs! I like the splashes of red too, especially the buoy who looks like a person in a red hat. Nicely assembled.

[Sally Ings]

Very creative. Each panel works on its own. Seems there are many places waiting for much needed rain.

[Martina]

Great composition of those three images!

[sally agnew]

A nicely created triptych Babs :)

[Yao RL]

Let's the red beat the grey.

[Sylvia du Toit]

Well done.

[Nova]

Awesome shot and it works great as a triptych. :)

[Sam]

You want rain Babs? Move to Melbourne!!!

[Babs]

@gigiflower Been there done that. Why do you think we moved up here. I prefer rain every couple of weeks rather than every day.

[Beryl Lloyd]

A lovely triptych from the same image -- love the pop of red so to carry you from one scene to the next .

[Joyce]

Love the way you edited this Babs. It really works well with this shot.

[Chris K]

it looks fabulous as a triptych with a bit of the story in each panel.

[gloria jones]

Great collage of shots...I like the red pops of color.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wonderful collage.

[Merrelyn]

Great triptych from a single image, works really well.

[Margaret Brown]

Great triptych you look as if you are getting as many grey days as us, even though it's summer here :-( .

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Lovely capture cleverly sectioned to make a collage.

[8yearson]

That's a clever idea Babs, might have to pinch it!

[Pat Knowles]

Your ferry boat is such a cheerful way of traveling, I bet there's lots of chit chat!

[Stephanie]

I really like how you did this... it puts each 'thing' into it's own little picture and looks so effective, fav. Loads of rain here in the UK, wish I could send it your way, we are fed up with it here.

[Helen Jane]

What an inspired idea to split this into the three elements - it works so well. I really like this.

[Richard Brown]

Clever image I like the centre frame the best where there is a patch of blue in the grey sky. :)

[Denise Wood]

I certainly can relate to that grey day :)

[Islandgirl]

Lovely triptych.........and pop of red!

[Dawn]

A cool collage

[Babs]

@pcoulson Thanks Peter. I loved the splash of red on a grey day and so pleased that I managed to position the boat and the buoy in the right place to be able to turn this into a triptych.

[Babs]

@inthecloud5 Thanks Christine. I was pleased to see the break in the clouds too, we don't very often get such low clouds here.

[Babs]

@quietpurplehaze ha ha, I thought the buoy looked like a person in a red hat too.

[Babs]

@cruiser Thanks Chris. I liked the way that each panel told a different story too.

[Babs]

@craftymeg Thanks. Luckily we don't get too many grey days in our winters here. We see lots of sun too which I don't remember getting when we lived in the UK.

[Babs]

@jackie8 Thanks Jackie. Look forward to seeing what you come up with. I have done lots of triptychs but this is the first one I have done from one image. Just lucky the buoy, boat and building were in the right places when I took the shot.

[Babs]

@stephanies Thanks Stephanie, I was just lucky that the three 'things' were in the right place to be able to split this photo into three.
I remember lots of rain in the UK when we lived there. That is one of the reasons we came to Australia. ha ha.

[Babs]

@helenhall Thanks Helen. I was pleased that this was able to be split into three and that each section told a different story.

[Babs]

@rjb71 Thanks Richard. We didn't see much blue in the sky yesterday, it bucketed down most of the day and the clouds were really low. Don't usually get a whole day of rain, much needed though.

[Babs]

@olenadole @777margo @dianeburns @salza @cherrymartina @hermann @yaorenliu @sdutoit @novab @beryl @thistle @cruiser @seattlite @mittens @merrelyn @ladymagpie @happypat @gilbertwood @radiogirl @dawnee Thanks everyone. I was so lucky that this one image was able to be split into three. It is the first time that I have done a triptych from one image. I usually do three different images. I think this works well and each panel tells a different story.

[Peter Dulis]

love it -

[Call me Joe]

Nice collage:)!

[Valerie Chesney]

Very colorful collage.

[Marnie]

Good to see some red pops on a grey day.

[Karen]

Lovely collage!

[Babs]

@golftragic it did add a bit of colour to a grey day.

[Babs]

@pdulis @joemuli @happysnaps @karens54 Thanks.

[Stephanie]

I didn't know you lived in the UK, whereabouts were you Babs? @onewing

[Babs]

@stephanies We lived everywhere. Originally Yorkshire then Lancashire and then I married David and he was in the RAF so we lived everywhere for the next 20 years. After a 3 year tour in Cyprus it was a bit of a culture shock coming back to the UK so he left the RAF and joined the RAAF.
