January Photo Contest starts 1/1!

Last edited Wed Dec 27, 2017, 07:57 PM - Edit history (1)

Here is the theme and I shamefully admit I was selfish in choosing this (not that I can enter but...) because it so fascinates me. Get ready to submit your best photo that speaks color.

Try to forget what objects you have before you - a tree, a house, a field, or whatever. Merely think, 'Here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow,' and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact color and shape, until it gives you your own impression of the scene before you.

Claude Monet

I'll post the submissions thread, rules, etc., and comments thread on New Year's Day, in celebration of color and in hopes for a much better 2018.

I downloaded the app I Love Hue about a week ago & am working through the levels. I think it's fun & relaxing. My husband finds it frustrating.

because I need space on my computer. I thought: color. Squinted at my photos. And found my entry in a few seconds. Not fair, I like hunting for my entries, but then, it's cold out and I now don't have to go shooting. I read what I just wrote and laugh. My camera is not a gun.
Look forward to this one - will be fun.
