A bright blue and black football rests on uneven green grass. The grass varies in length, with some patches longer and some shorter. The ball’s barcode is visible on one of the blue panels near the bottom.

Kid’s Capture the Colour

Kid’s Capture the Colour’ is an exciting challenge for children aged 15 or under to get creative and photograph the world around them. There are five different coloured categories to enjoy; Blue, Green, Yellow, White and Red. I was lucky enough to be one of the chosen 100 bloggers to take part meaning my eldest daughter Chloe received a free digital camera to help her. 

She’s never had a camera of her own before so this was all completely new to her. Even though she is 10 years old she had never had really been behind the camera before so please bear this in mind and give her a chance, I’m sure she will get better in time. I didn’t have any influence in any of her photographs or subjects, I simply gave her the camera and said go.

Blue Category:

A blue and black football rests on uneven, green grass with some patches of dryness and small weeds. The football has a visible barcode. The scene is outdoors, and the lighting suggests it is daytime.

Chloe choose her little brothers favourite toy as the focus of her shot. As you can see from the picture it hadn’t been played with in a while and was just lying quite lonely amongst the long grass. It’s a simple shot but quite nice I think.

Green Category:

Cardboard cut-outs of colourful birds with drawn faces and wings stand among green grass and low plants in a garden. Tall building windows and a cloudy sky are seen in the background, reflecting parts of the garden scene.

I think this picture was taken outside the new Birmingham Library, I say think as I wasn’t there on the day. She had gone to visit it with my Mum and Sister and must have taken her camera with her. This is the first time that I had seen it but I think it’s a stunning picture.

Yellow Category:

Close-up of a vibrant yellow Black-eyed Susan flower with a dark brown centre, surrounded by green leaves and other similar flowers in the background. Natural sunlight highlights the petals, creating a cheerful garden scene.

Yellow is for one of our beautiful sunflowers of course. Even in September they are still shining bright. Chloe really loves her sunflowers as she grew them herself from seeds.

White Category:

Thick white smoke billows upward, partially obscuring dense green trees and foliage in the background. Sunlight filters through both the leaves and the smoke, creating a hazy, misty atmosphere in an outdoor forested area.

White is for clean steam coming out of the funnel on our steam train ride. We had a wonderful ride on a miniature steam train at Birmingham’s Kingsbury Water Park, Chloe took this picture whilst we enjoyed our ride, luckily she had the very front seat so got a clear shot.

Red Category:

A bushy rowan tree with clusters of bright red berries and green, feathery leaves stands in a garden. Behind it, there is a wooden fence, a brick house, and more greenery, with a partly cloudy sky above.

Red is for the hundreds of red berries that grow on our garden bush. They’re a real eye catcher in our garden and the birds seem to love them too.

I’m really proud of my daughter Chloe, for a girl who had never taken any pictures before she did a really great job and I’m happy to display her pictures with a huge smile.

This is my 10 year old Chloe’s entry into the Travelsupermarket.com’s Kids Capture the Colour competition.
