I recently got my first DSLR and I have been take loads of pictures and learning a lot about photography . I decided to examine out what I have learnt by joining the competition and to see how good my motion picture really are . I try on to come up with something original and unequaled for this challenge and I must say it was n’t wanton . Every metre I came up with an idea , I ended up compare it with the egg yolk picture to no help . Luckily for me , my girlfriend was at script to facilitate me out with her nice orangeness hair , and blue nails . I attempt to think of a insidious and unique pose and I managed to come up with this picture . The picture was amended in Camera Raw to make it more vibrant .

I discovered some decent complementary Amytal and orangish in the burner of my accelerator pedal stove while preparation pancakes on Saturday morning . Took a few shot of the flames with the illumination out , and while the gloss were squeamish , it was jolly deadening . I later had a constantan import and decided to dash the burner through an one-time kaleidoscope we have sitting on a bookshelf . I lined up the lens of the eye with the peephole on the kaleidoscope ( leaving a little place for the autofocus to workplace ) then shot in sequential modal value while moving the kaleidoscope around . Had a bunch or really interesting results , but this one had the good complementary color . dial up the vividness and counterpoint a tiny bit , clip it slightly , and here it is . Reminds me of the glass ceiling in a Paris section shop I once visit but forget the name of . Shot using an Olympus E - PL1 with 17 mm f/2.8 pancake , 1/50 exposure , ISO 1600 .

I was excited when I saw this ( my first ! ) pullulate Challenge , as I immediately realised I could unite my two Modern preferred Falco subbuteo : photography and origami . As luck would have it , when the Challenge went up I was in the center of folding an orangish frog ( although ultimately not the one in the picture ) , and I figured I ’d shoot it against a suitably risque screen background . I used a several light origin to get a shadow upshot I was happy with , and happen the contrast a piddling in post - processing . For those with involvement , the manikin is Kawasaki ’s frog from his record “ Origami Dream World – Flowers and Animals ” .

I have never get into any of the photo contests before and resolve this was a fun and easy one to do . I ran through a million ideas ; flowers , yield , nature , etc . I decided playing around with intellectual nourishment coloring and water system could be really coolheaded . I scram a snowy t - shirt , my camera equipement and initiate try out glasses , jars , bowls anything that could hold piddle . You name it I tried it . I incur that jars worked the good . Then from there it was a matter of turning lights on and off . denotation tubes on or off , plus filters or no positive filters , etc . Then , once the shock , light up mount and camera set - up was picked ; it was onto colour . I first tried red and green , but it never worked out well . Always turn brown or looked green and black ( not red ) . Then it was icteric and red . Then yellow and blue . I found that if I placed the yellowness in first then drop the blue in you could see the blue for about a second and then it was green . Albeit , not rightful “ complimentary ” colors the green really kill out against the lily-livered and really caught my oculus when I was trim them down . After , an hour of tests and a ashen shirt turn into a tie - dice shirt I got this pic .

Hello all ,
This is a film of my dog , Ruby . Like her name suggests , her fur is crimson … or at least cherry . She just catch a novel seam after ripping up her last one to pieces and see seems to have a go at it it so far . I love how the gullible look with her fur- both are n’t arrant reds and putting surface . They are more of a instinctive / down-to-earth tones . I regrettably do n’t have photoshop so her eye are kind of bizarre . She would not sit still long enough to not utilize the flashbulb .

I took this photo while on vacation last week in Key West FL – amazingly enough NOT for this weeks challenge as I did not have cyberspace access while away . When I got home I read about this challenge and noticed that this particular picture go the description and decided to throw it in the ring . Since “ carmine ” and “ green ” are opposition , they seem to provide the crude contrast crucial to the challenge . Unfortunately there ’s no funny story to go along with this one , I just hope you all like it .

Hi there ,
This is my first submission to the hebdomadary shooting challenge . Today was a typically gorgeous late summertime Sunday in Denver , and as I lay out out to do some errands and enjoy the daylight , colourful scenes and objects were jump at me from all directions . This challenge really heightened my awareness and perceptiveness of the simple smasher of color , regardless of dependent subject . I typically shoot bleak & ashen motion-picture show , so my nous is much more attuned to compose exposure in B&W. Anyway , after occupy many shots of various color combination and subjects , nothing was really speaking to me . threadbare and a bit hot , I stop into one of my favorite office in Capitol Hill for a recreation . It was late in the afternoon , and the Light Within ponder off the building across the street was doing a nice job illuminate my iced yerba mate , which happened to have been presented with a Ferrari - red wheat . I took a few macro shots and ended up with one I wish enough to spend a morsel of time on – I did some underage colour correction in Aperture , primarily to amp up the green of the tea , which had the side - effect of brightening a blurry green spirits feeding bottle in the background . To me , this shot neatly captured the pith of a laid - back good afternoon in the city . Pentax K - r , ISO 400 , f/2 , 1/15 sec , with an old SMC Pentax 50 mm lens .

I used the on camera flashing to ensure you could still see details in the flush . Canon t2i with the 100 mm lens @ f/13 , 1/100 sec .

I ’ve been follow the Gizmodo contest just hold back for one that I could have a endeavor at and , when you announced this competition , I knew exactly what my national would be . I hung a bird feeder on our new pergola in the give and a squirrel knock it down scatter birdseed all over our new landscape garden . By summertime ’s end , we were rewarded with loads and dozens of incredible helianthus all seeming to shout “ Hello ! ” in unison . My hubby bought me a Rebel T2i a few months ago and I have been snapping aside like a madwoman . I ’m a consummate newbie at photography and I do n’t realise ISOs and all that other material yet . I took this with the stock lense on the macro setting . No tweaking .

I spent some time holiday in Florida this weekend , and was carrying my iPhone with a screenshot of the colouring material bike as a reference … After one or two ikon in the airport … we grabbed some beers and went to the beach , and I sort of totally forgot about the shooting challenge . Good times !
This morning I demand my parent for suggestions on this challenge before we channelize to the airport ( I was staying over with them ) , and my mom had this idea of using narration and thread to find complementary colors . The theme accept a life on its own and we ended up using all of the compounding we had for our own version of the color wheel with thread … Sunday menage project ! Ended up being a lot of playfulness .

This challenge was , by far , one of my favourite . I learned a heap from this exercising . I saved the color wheel from the photo challenge page and kept referencing it on my phone as I walk around lower Manhattan . Due to the ceremonies for 9/11 , there were police barricades everywhere . The shaft is near a cab stand where the taxicab line up . I also staged several shots with small items because I was able to choose the complemental colors I want . In the end , I could n’t argue with capturing something in the wilderness .

I have been seeing the Gizmodo competition ’s submissions for some metre now and this week I finally had some free time to try out and setup my own . I framed some green tsurus ( the Nipponese origami crane ) on a reddish - violet background , did some editing on Photoshop and was ready to submit my entrance . I am so beaming now that I did n’t do it then because this weekend I conk out bicycle and bring in my photographic camera with me to find this awing sundown at a local park and the colour just clicked . After some experimenting , I came up with this picture which was later spot processed on Photoshop for some fitting . word picture was have in Sao Paulo , Brazil on a Nikon D3100 , stemma 18 - 55 millimetre lenses , 1/320 sec , f/9 .

An good afternoon at the beach turned into an incredibly fun hoarded wealth hunt club for red-faced and green stones to create this nautically breathe in film with red for the port foot and fleeceable for the starboard . Neither color really put up out when they were ruffle among all the other Stone in the surf but when roll up and put side by side , I was amazed . Note to ego ; clean your tripod at the beach before you put it back in your car .

On Saturday afternoon , we were surprised with an unexpected thunder storm . The weather was 80 degrees , sunny , and immense drops of rain started to swarm non - stop . It reminded me of the Florida weather I have on my trip to South Beach a few years back ( very irregular ) . My dogs were alfresco recreate in the rain so I ran to chase them inside the sign of the zodiac when I noticed the beautiful huge drops of rain drop down the efflorescence of my garden . I opine that would be the perfect time to take a few motion-picture show , not observe that I had complementary colors ( Green and Red ) in my shot . I take the impression focalize on the rain drop , but I really like the vivid colors as well . I think the little details on the parting are also my darling .

After interpret about this workweek ’s challenge I was aroused to go down the the Ohio River Sternwheel Festival in hopes that something there , be it boat or vendor might make interesting use of completing colors . After little luck , I pose on a bench next to an old gear car . I encounter to look behind me and see that the red train car was covered in immature moulding . I took several pictures and this was my favourite . I tweak it a bite in Lightroom , as it was a little gray originally . ( Canon Rebel T3i , 135 mm , f/5.6 , ISO 640 )

Good morning ,
This was taken with a Nikon D90 , Nikkor 35 millimetre lens , ISO 200 . This handsome bird has been claver our bird birdfeeder all summer and yesterday I walk out the room access and see him about 10′ from my head , he was not fond of being a model and hold open hop behind leaves ; he looked dandy amongst the green foliage .

I was seek to come up with an interesting take on how to go about this challenge for most of the week . Like Newton before me , inspiration came in the form of an stroke . I was pouring myself some Kool - assistance when I detect how deeply red the liquid was and mulled over how best to fit that in to the competition . While distracted , I knocked the glass and it slid down the sideboard and bump against the microwave causing the liquidness to leap out of the glass . This was the spark I needed . I take hold of my previous skateboard that I never utilize any longer , and superglued some Plexiglas to it , then superglued some bum Champagne-Ardenne flutes to the spyglass . I get out my spare table leafage and filled up the four meth with water blend with red food for thought colour . My original melodic theme was to have a green background to congratulate the blood-red water supply , but the water just looked almost black , and it was a boring shot . Then I decide that since I had four solid food colouring and four flutes I should put all the colors in there . mistreat one , raise skateboard on slanted foliage ( the camera was also slanted to recompense ) . Step two , let go of skateboard . stone’s throw three , realize you pushed the distant induction to early . Step four , lots of cleaning … and repeat . fortuitously I got a good pellet on my second attempt and was n’t going to bear on it for a better .

I have always wanted to participate in Gizmodo ’s exposure challenges but an excuse was always there . Sometimes something taking my time or lack of melodic theme of what to carry . So this sentence I decided to go in advance with the first idea . While playing Lego with my girl I got to actualise that Lego has red and green pieces . So , I press out something that we were building and I shot a photo , a macro exposure sort of .

When I check this challenge , I screw precisely where I wanted to charge my entry .

I wish that I had a fantastic story to severalize for this week ’s challenge
but the truth is , I have been too busybodied to do the challenge for some prison term
now . As much as I care photography , if the challenge is n’t about taking a
great shot at a minor ’s sporting issue , since my tike are at something most
every day , I ’m probably out that week and I do n’t think that topic has been
cover recently .
This calendar week , however , the challenge was a petty more come-at-able as the
subject issue was right in front of my face , here , on my desk . I simply
rearrange my pencils , set them under my desk lamp and shot them with a
macro lens . For this shot , I used a minor flashlight to play up the backsheesh
of the pencil a little .

( The spine are starting to peel off from too much exercise … solving it of class ) I used my tripod wax Canon Rebel XSi with my 50 mm 1.4 lens . I do n’t have any speed lights so I used a lamp unmediated at the bottom right hand nook and used the room ceiling light .

Oh the wonders of propane oestrus ! The pool water is warmer than the air . A neighbour had given us a life ring from the Governor in Woods Hole . The red - orange ring is perfect with the peacock blue color of the pool reflecting the sky . Unfortunately the kitty is not as white as I would care …

I have n’t been up for too much photo taking recently but I ’m glad I get this one make out . I am actually pleased with how my guessing came out . I was a petty hesitant to render it since it looks a niggling similar to the lead exposure on the challenge page but I perish with it anyway . It is a macro shot of an orange tomato from our garden in a blue bowl taken with my outfit lens attached to some extension vacuum tube . I think it looks like an exotic sun with the small hairs flummox out of the tomato .
