Pardon my ignorance but what was today's theme?
Wow, Graphics, I love the first one - are you hitting the limits of your camera's resolution and exposure with it (hence the un-sharp hair and blown highlights) or was this a deliberate effect that you created in Photoshop?
Whichever it is, it gives the image a very... "painted" or surreal look, and it's great.

You're my boy Blue.
thanks BV...no photoshop effect...just camera crap. One day I'll own a good one.
ah blue - reading skills > me...
Here's a little abstract in blue and pink.
A little explanation is in order here. I was just playing around with the camera when I took the original. We have some glass beads hanging from one of our windows. One day the sun was setting and shining through the beads. I wanted to try to capture the colors and not necessarily the beads themselves, so I took a bunch of out of focus macro shots. Since I was shooting straight into the sun I got a lot of cool color aberrations and lens flare. I put this photo (originally of a blue, a yellow, and a red bead) into photoshop and started playing with the hue and saturation of the different colors to make it more blue. I did a little blurring too to make it less pixellated. The result is what you see here.

Right here.
Thats sounds kinda gross. Really, I just wanted to see some photos...:biggrin:
I'll see what I can come up with on my lunch hour.well then show some!!!
Blue!
Can I call this dark blue?
i got 2
Gratuitus inside Glacier shot.
I thought these had to be photos taken by the poster, and withing the week timeframe?
Almost forgot...
Yep. At least that was my understanding.
yeah, that rule seems to be thrown under the bus.
What are you gonna do? Kick them out of a contest with no prize?
I forgot it was a contest... Any photo I've posted for this reindeer game was shot by me on my camera during the week of said game.
ill take some blue photos then
Is it fair if blue isn't really the theme, but takes up a fair amount of the shot?
If one can just search the internet for their entry then what's the point. If it isn't taken within the timeframe, it isn't postable in the thread, and if you incist on posting, it should be denoted as such, and you should only post photos that you yourself have taken.
I love the red/blue in the first and second. The first looks like my avatar (red ground/blue sky) .Are those caterpillars in the second that are the same color as the flower?Is it fair if blue isn't really the theme, but takes up a fair amount of the shot?
A flash would have made the rider in the first look better, but him being dark, makes him not stand out too much, but enough to see the background how it is (especially how light and colorful it is).
Nope, just part of the flowers.
A flash? Man, that would have been too much to expect from the crappy HP camera that I had along to get that pic with! I'd forgotten my regular cam, but had the old, crap HP in the car.
I actually prefer the pic with the rider darker, and edited it a bit to get it so. A little darker, a little more color saturation, and that was it.
I agree. Him being dark makes the sky and rock look really good.
That's probably better than the disposables I take on rides (instead of my dslr). Eventually, I want to get a little camera (I want in it: manual, aperture priority, shutter priority, at least 5 AF points, ability to use converters and filters, at least 6mp, and the ability to shoot in raw).
Does that exist for under $500?
I'm sure you can get close to that. I'm no big photo expert though. My current is a Cannon A-520. It's a nice size; rides along in a little padded case that sits on one of my Camelbak straps. I don't even notice it while riding; hangs nicely tucked out of the way.
Whenever it dies, I'll replace it with something a little nicer.
