Topic: POW Week 19 - Blue

Blue seems to be a popular color and can make for GREAT photos. So, look around you and find something unique. Think outside the box and experiment some this week.


A few guidelines:
1. Photo needs to go along with the subject in some way.
2. Use thumbnails for photos with any dimension larger than 450 px or over 40 kb.
3. Post as many as you want.
4. At the end of the week the person who chose the topic will pick someone to choose the next topic. This isn't a "winner," just someone who gets to suggest the next topic.
5. No critiques (unless requested) this is just to share our photos.
6. No sigs.

not really out side any box... and not really blue either...

First (obvious) thoughts.

red, white and blue

Freedom Of Speech

Blue, and at the same time, not.

Woo! Shiii! Another great shot...as usual. I like the effect there, and it seems any shot you do where there's only one colour focus in it turns out great.

*gives Shiii a round of applause*

Asptamer: Love the wing shot mate...as soon as I get a camera (and learn how to use it) my brother-in law's gonna take me glider flying...then we'll see some airial shots.

Thanks so much Skaarjj

I think we'll see some cool photos this week. I know krets will awe us with something

This was a recent image i took whilst out in Greece.

hmmm not sure if what i take would count twards this contest ... do editorial/journalism photos count? .. that is what i take every day ...

This isn't a contest. It's just to get people out taking photos and learning. This week it's blue. So if you got a photo that says blue...PLEASE post and join in

hehe okay will post links to mine ... some of mine may say blue in a twisted manner .. but its what i see every day ...

It's a recycle but it's one of my very favorite photos of all time:

thanks, i enjoy doing photojournalism work .. every day is a new experience ... here is another shot that is blue hehe ... i took it the same day as the one you like ...
http://photo.neontuner.com/current/01/image/motojump.jpg

a lot of times tho i dont have time to stop and look at the small things with this job .. i would say that is the only drawback.

eyezaer, I think this is a bit like yours.
asptamer, I don't think I've ever been quite that high great shot for an earthhugger like me.
Shiiizzzam, I'm almost speechless great work.
cyoung, "what a whoppa" is that a Pike?
axleclarkeuk, dude,,
Morph, I can see a face, look, can you?
Flea, (re, stopping to look at the small things) Oh you've gotta do that, even if it's only long enough to take a Macro shot of the weeny tings, then you can stare at the beauty of them any time you like.
aurora, Tea? Great clean image, I had a glance at your other "potopages" too, some great images there. You've been busy haven't you
krets, I have not seen that photo before, Is that a new one to "11oh1"? Superb shot.
~~ and that brings to a close,"Tao's extended comments", brought to you curtesy of several strong cups of fresh Italian coffee~~

I hope no-one minds if i post another one of my recent pics.

tao- hehe i stop and take pics when i see something unusual .. or take pics at accidents that dont pertain to what is going on so i can look at them more later ... but it doesnt happen often .. i do have a few shots i have taken that are nice ones and not photojournalism shots .. but will wait till there is a topic to post them under.

<off topic>
tao, it's a walleye, which is a relative of perch.. a big relative. This fish is about 7" shy of being a trphy fish at 23 ~and a half~ but when you're ten it's huge. He also caught a 28" pike and scads of 16 to 18 inch smallmouth bass. This years escape was a big success. This is where we went for those that like to fish. It was a very good time.
</off topic>

This is a good challenge, blue. Hmm..

who doesn't like to fish?! commies?! anyhow:


blooshoo

I have about 7 colored 80 watt bulbs in my room.... Mostly Green but I have some Reds and Blues.

Just realized I had something to show this time ...



(Similar photos here, if you like.)

Took this one especially for this POW. Enron at lunchtime:

(are these too big? The guideline said <450 px and <40kb, but mine seem to be the largest images in the thread)

You can see me in this reflection shooting with my Fuji S2.

-- Taken in the early morning last december. This is the only blue pict I have. And this is a natural pict, not a photo manip.

WOW ! There's some AWESOME photos this week. I'm going to pass this on to Flea for that 2nd link dirt bike photo. That's a amazing photo.

I've been away too long and it says we can post as many as we want... so here's my blue stuff

Shizzz, I Love the freedom of speach, nice work!

Thanks cH_aos

I am on a role.... I have been lurking here for two years.... and now have posted twice
http://www.netbutter.com/images/flip.jpg

Its 158k... What is a good size for photos anyways??!?!

Geez.... two posts and already an error....

[This message has been edited by Nemesis (edited 09-04-2003).]

Two posts in as many years... impressive

. . : slicePuzzle

when i saw the pic of nemesis i had to post this one:

Hey, that's pretty cool.

frankacaba- was that on nantucket? i looked at the reflections in the sphere and it looks identical to a shop called Beach Glass that sells those type of sphere...things.

It was at the Edmonds Art Festival in Washington state, they had all sorts of venders there and a pretty cool juried photo exibit, I actully got one photo accepted and it sold the first day. click here

Frank

Its worse than that Bugimus....

It was two posts, and two errors........

I just finally noticed my "first" post made no sense whatsoever.

Jason

beautiful photo, frank. Wow...just...amazing. Beautifully put together...beautiful lighting...everything.
I'd be speechless if I didnt know so many good words to describe it...bravo.

Wow, thanks helloelise. I took it before a friends wedding, but it looks like the guys is too late.

Frank

some nice pics of dirt bikes on http://www.dirtbikefanatic.com/dirt-bikes.html
if your into that.

I can't believe you just dug up a four year old thread to post spam...

I wonder what the reasoning was, Week 19, Blue? Dirt bikes? where's the logic?
Ah, logic I remember it well. There was a rash if it back in September 2003 I seem to recall, people forming theories all over the place. Not a pretty sight.

::tao:::: ::cell::

well, technically it does fit - the dirt bike featured on the page linked to *is* in fact blue

Nailed on a technicality, story of my life.
Actually that bike looks like it has been coloured in blue, and badly at that. Unless there is a streak of bluebells behind the bike.
Ok come on, who did the colouring in?
