Thematic Photographic #4 -- Full-on Color
This week's Thematic Photographic subject is 'colorful.' Carmi, Thematic's inventor, confessed that he chose the theme in part to lighten his own mood after a bum couple of weeks, and it's interesting how looking at vivid photos does indeed make you feel a little bit brighter.
Thanks to Carmi, I also got a chance to take a look at some photos I haven't considered lately. First, I did a tag search among my photos on flickr for 'color,' to see what came up. I can't decide on one, so here are -- well, here are a bunch:
Meg, Northampton, Mass.; Nikon D70, 18-55 Nikkor lens
Steps, Greenfield, Mass.; Nikon D70, 18-55 Nikkor lens
I Want Candy; Nikon D70, 18-55 Nikkor lens
...then I searched for specific colors, and I remembered these mosaics I made a while back:
Red;Mosaic Maker
Yellow;Mosaic Maker
Green;Mosaic Maker
...and those got me thinking about some of my recent press trips, on which I try to visit public markets whenever possible:
Apples and Oranges, Lyon, France; Nikon D70, 18-55 Nikkor lens
les fleurs, Lyon, France; Nikon D70, 18-55 Nikkor lens
...and local stores, of course.
Sabre Cutlery. Lyon France; Nikon D70, 18-55 Nikkor lens
So that's my colorful contribution this week; it was fun hunting. Hope they made the day a little less grayscale.
You've brightened my mood with these, and for that I am very thankful to
you! I need to spend more time slowly appreciating this richly varied
series. You have such a wonderful photographic touch.
Wow, so many colourful photos... you're loving this week's theme, I can
tell. Your mosaics are nifty. Is there a program to make those quickly
and easily, or did you do them manually?
thanks smarmoofus! re the mosaics, I used Big huge Labs. The link is under
the photos in the post - it's a fun program;)
Just hitting your homepage is a colorful blast. Great Theme! As for the
photos, i want to say WOW but that doesn't seem adequate. Great photos.
wow, thanks so much! thanks for stopping by, too~
WOW! Great photos! I love the mosaics - you've inspired me! But I think the
flowers and the cutlery are my favorites!
What a wonderful array of colors! You certainly hit upon a good theme at
Carmi's! I love the cutlery shot the best...perhaps it is because I
remember seeing many goods for sale in Europe...in that same method! I
even photographed Polish Pottery in the same way!
Obviously you know I'm gonna like the first shot, but what you might not
guess is that my favorite of the lot is the second one. First time
through, I thought... well I'm not gonna tell ya what I thought it was
'cause I think I'll shoot that idea myself. But it wasn't steps!
Brilliant!
everyone thanks so much for the comment love. The real thank goes to Carmi
for getting me inspired again. ;)
Wow, your photography is even better than I remember!!! I love these
mosaics and images. Karen
