Blue Stage

The conference I attended last week had pretty awesome visual effects.  This was the blue stage.  Red stage is below...

So...the question is - should I continue my Photo A Day into 2011?  On December 31, 2010, I will have completed 2 years or 730 Days, and will have taken approximately 35,000 photos -  oofda...

Another Cardinal

Ok - I've got the catching the red bird down - now my sights are set on a blue one (and red, and yellow, and an eagle if they should show up).

Helen

This is Helen - my spouse of 25 years and 2 days. She sits quietly when I ask her to be my model. She even "totes and carries" when I need help taking pictures on a photo shoot. Most of the pictures I take of her I don't get to post because she just doesn't like the way she looks in photographs - so - either this is a really good photograph of her (yes - I got her permission to post it), or she is giving up... I know it's the first!!!

Red On Black or Black With Red?

The Photo Club I belong to is having a Red Ball Photo Contest - you take pictures of red balls... this is one such photo (more to come...)

Shopping at Target

Peppers


Purple Flowers


Red Pepper

We went grocery shopping last evening at Target and the colors in the produce isle were just vivid - worthy of a photograph. But, I had a dilemma - no camera. But, wait... my iPhone is also a camera and I have a gazillion (exaggerated for effect) photography apps so I decided to use my iPhone to take some photographs.

I did learn a lesson - when taking photos of produce in the case - every so often a fine watery mist is sprayed over the produce - so, if you are taking a closeup with your head nearly in the case - well, I'll let you imagine what happened. I do believe a few people who were wondering what I was up to to got a laugh...

Red Water Drop

I was playing around again with the water drop and chose a red background this time. I think the blue one came out better.

Red

A touch of red...

Red Ornament

The Christmas Tree is a handy place to take photographs. I don't have to go outside and be cold, plus - I have dozens of choices.

Remaining Color

As we get closer to the snow falling the colors are turning shades of brown. Every once in a while though you can spot a touch of red.

1st Picture With New Lens

Cool Cloud

An interesting cloud.

Red Flower

Moments after I took this photograph a red humming bird flew up to the flower - and as soon as I raised my camera he (or she) took off. He's probably been talking to the eagles and is taunting me... (note previous post).

Spring Color

I just love the color green and add red, white and blue and it's a perfect combination.

More Peppers

More peppers - I used Photoshop to isolate each color. Here is the series. I suppose I could have stretched this into 4 days worth of pictures - but, what fun is that? My favorite is the green as it is a crisper black and white. Yours...?
