Interestingly (or not?), purple is not one of my favorite colors, but in certain instances, it can be effective.

Wow! That is a fantastic set...The 1st picture is my favorite: I love those black silhouettes on that magnificent colorful sky! OK, here is just really few purple displayed, this color is not "omnipresent" in this shot but I don't care : I prefer other colors and this photo is superb!

Thanks for hosting, Leslie.

Since April 9th would be my mom's 101st birthday, I'll start with
two pictures of her. The first would have been taken in 1942, and
the second one of her was taken two years after I moved her in
with us in 2002. She obviously liked the color purple.

The third picture is one I took in the Outer Banks.

Happy Birthday in Heaven, Mom. Love you!

I was surprised by the number of cars in
my archives that were sporting variations
of the color purple.

I agree. That’s why I put it first on my list. I need to go back to my archives, but I’m pretty sure that silhouetted cactus shot in Saguaro National Park East in Tuscan was shot on Velvia. Almost certain it predated digital and as many of you know, Velvia was legendary for extraordinarily vivid colors. Also guessing that shot might have predated my PS use. I only say that because if I shot that pic today, I might have processed it with some masking of the black cacti to try to open up a little of the shadow detail. I love the 100% black cacti, but no doubt I would have looked to see if there was any detail in the plants. Considering that Velvia had only a tiny 4or 5stop dynamic range, it may not have. In fact, I probably shot that pic using either a 3 or 5 frame bracket since I wanted supersaturated sky tones and silhouetting. In all candor, I’m guessing that shot was 40 yrs ago and today, I can’t remember what I had for lunch. 😎
