Winner! B&B Photo Contest-June 2013 - POST #57

[AllenG]

This months theme comes courtesy of, Relentless.

I propose the color red as the theme for June. It must be part of the composition naturally and not photo-shopped in.

Happy shooting!

Theme: The color, red
Rules: You must be the photographer
One entry per month
Try to make the image a recent one

Winner gets bragging rights and the pick of the theme for August

Good luck, gentlemen.

Hopefully I can get a decent shot this month!

My wife in red - Ponte Alexandre III - Paris France. That is the actual color of the coat she was wearing, not photoshopped. Relentless, if this is outside the rules of your challenge, let me know and I will make an alternate submission:

 

[Edcculus]

I thought we did Red as a theme in January...

 

[AllenG]

I thought we did Red as a theme in January...

You are right we did.
Relentless, if you want to change the theme feel free.

 

[Edcculus]

So are we going to change this one? I've got a roll of FP4+ in the RB67 thats dying to be exposed!

 

[fast14riot]

Yeah, is this going to change? I have Velvia 50 loaded up in the F100 right now, and would like to use it for this. I've got BW in my others right now.

[AllenG]

How about we open it up to, a primary color?

 

[djh]

How about we open it up to, a primary color?

Seems like a very fair compromise to me, Allen. Thanks!

 

[Edcculus]

That will work for me. Black and white are primary colors right?

 

[fast14riot]

Anyone heard from Relentless or sent him an email to see if this is ok with him, it's his topic. I just would like to get shooting!

Primary colours make me think of Kodachrome . I just put four cubic yards of red mulch into my garden though.

 

[fast14riot]

Found a little color on a drab day. Flat lighting and zero contrast.

Mid-week bump

 

[AllenG]

As Edcculus said...didn't we do this one already?
Perhaps the theme for June should be changed to 'deja vu'

Yeah, I missed it. I've been occupied lately. It's been opened up to primary colors.

 

[Alacrity59]

What is that tower Bill? Looks "Metropolis" like. Is it a part of the CNN building?

 

[BRuhling]

Mike, it is one of the towers in the Olympic Centennial Park just in front of the CNN building.

 

[Lamb Root]

Excuse my ignorance but what's primary colors?

 

[BRuhling]

Primary colors are sets of colors that can be combined to make a useful range of colors. For human applications, three primary colors are usually used, since human color vision is trichromatic.
For additive combination of colors, as in overlapping projected lights or in CRT displays, the primary colors normally used are red, green, and blue. For subtractive combination of colors, as in mixing of pigments or dyes, such as in printing, the primaries normally used are cyan, magenta, and yellow,[SUP][1][/SUP] though the set of red, yellow, blue is popular among artists.[SUP][2][/SUP] See RGB color model, CMYK color model, and RYB color model for more on these popular sets of primary colors.
Any particular choice for a given set of primary colors is derived from the spectral sensitivity of each of the human cone photoreceptors; three colors that fall within each of the sensitivity ranges of each of the human cone cells are red, green, and blue.[SUP][3][/SUP] Other sets of colors can be used, though not all will well approximate the full range of color perception. For example, an early color photographic process, autochrome, typically used orange, green, and violet primaries.[SUP][4][/SUP] However, unless negative amounts of a color are allowed the gamut will be restricted by the choice of primaries.
The combination of any two primary colors creates a secondary color.
