Assignment 25 - Color! - Congratulations Neuroanatomist!

**Sheiky** · 09-27-2011, 09:19 PM

On behalf of our previous assignment winner Adrian Mandea: this assignment is all about color!

The idea is that we would like to see images where the color can be a subject by itself, something dramatic and powerful! A specific color, multiple colors, colorfulness, you name it! Good luck!

Here's a small example(a green one) to get the creative flow moving: [url="http://totallycoolpix.com/2011/09/38-shades-of-green/]38 shades of green[/url]

The following finalists have been selected:

Your 38 shades link doesn't appear to be working, but I'll assume it's the same as this page.

**Sheiky** · 09-27-2011, 10:21 PM

It works for me. It is a pop-up though. Can that be the cause? And yes, different website but it's the same as your link. Thanks

**Rocco** · 09-27-2011, 10:29 PM

Works for me as well.

Mmm, interesting topic. So many brightly coloured birds, butterflies, a few years' worth of dutch flowers, and a whole stack of orchids in Singapore Airport to choose from.

But in the end i've settled on this one, I can't go past the subtle different blues offset by the very iridescent-looking jellysquish. Taken at Blijdorp Zoo in Rotterdam (which translates as HappyTown Zoo, how quaint) earlier this year.

50mm f/1.8 ii @ f/1.8, iso200, 1/60s. Not much PP except for RAW conversion, colour saturation even at -1 because it looked too weird at default, and a bit of cloning specs of dust off the glass.

An assignment themed "color" this time of year fits perfectly - when I look around outside the colors of nature are really beautiful. My original idea was to find an autumn leaf against clear sky to get a red, green and blue composition (maybe it's a bad sign when RGB is the first that pops up in your head when you think of color). Last week I took a walk with my camera near my house but didn't really find any fitting leaf. Most leaves were either yellow or green - I wanted a red and green one. Some maples had these leaves but they couldn't be isolated to a blue sky background. (Who is this weird guy running around aiming his camera to the tree tops?) After a while the sun set and I gave up looking for leaves. Instead I was hooked by a spectacular show that took place over the sea - the post sunset colors of the sky shifted in various hues of pink/purple and of course I made sure to capture some photos. Actually I like this first one quite a lot and it will be my entry in this assignment.

EXIF: 7D, 24-105@24, f/6.3, 1/13 sec, ISO 400

(Still, I had the idea of the red and green leaf, and this Saturday I found one that was pretty much what I had in mind. The result is also similar to the picture I had in mind but I like the first one better. However, this is what my entry could have looked like.)

Thanks for viewing!

Neuro,

I third the vote for the second shot. It caught my eye immediately.

**bgood** · 10-03-2011, 02:32 AM

Here's a shot from a trip to the zoo with my daughter.

**bgood** · 10-03-2011, 02:34 AM

neuro - I agree the second shot is terrific control of DOF for a great effect. I am also drawn in by the first shot and you get my wife
