The Color of the Week is Red

Tue Jun 27, 2006, 2:20 PM
Please take a look at the work of my friends. I will post some work from them at a later time, when I have more time.

I have been doing some reading and after chatting with the my outstanding Brit photography buddy `photonig I have come to the conclusion that it is time to do some features of my old and new friends.  But I just didn't want to go through the galleries and pick stuff that I like and present them here I want to make it a challenge for everyone and at the same time get the creative mojo going.  There are no prizes just a healthy photography discussion about your work with other photographers.  After all two heads are better then one and more then 2 heads is just a freak'en alien (joke).  As I have stated to many of you, I am not on this site to just post images but to learn and share information with others, I love to help.

The book that I have been reading, "The Kodak Workshop Series, The Art of Seeing, A Creative Approach to Photography".  It was a cheap find but has some good stuff in it and that stuff is where I am going to pull the challenges from.  The idea and challenge was not to pick a subject but a color.  The goal is to do one of or all of the following:

-Change the viewer preconceptions of a subject by making color the focus of the capture.
-Make the viewer see things your way by showing the familiar in a different way.
-Play with light (direction, quality & color), shadow, create a mood, mute colors, find harmonic colors.
-Show the fragments or whole of a image if you feel it communicates your point photographically.
You get the idea, use everything within your power.

I know I am giving you this info late but I want to see what my awesome friends can come up with. I will do my best to post a new challenge every week of a different, "hue" (that's an off color joke).  The rules are these: 1st rule: Don't talk about fight club 2nd rule: Don't talk about fight club and the 3rd rule: if this is your 1st time you have to fight.  Sorry there are no rules, everything is welcome and can submit.  How do I submit you may ask.  Well just note me a link of the image you think fits the bill (one link per person per week) with the color of the week in the subject line and I will post.  The goal is to get others help, talking, meet and create a friendly photo-environment.  If you have suggestions, send them, If you have pointers, send them too.  But for now I have to go and shoot more colors of the week.

:) Thanks. :hug:

:laughing: I had few runs at red this past week and I'm ready to give up - the only red looking like red is on bugs or berries, when I have a lot of green around. :lol: Red flowers still looks like flat blots of paint. :roll: I tried in the sun, I tried in rain, red just doesn't like me. :giggle:
