Well, issuing a challenge at 4pm ET on a Saturday isn't exactly giving folks much time to react. I've been out shooting all day, but it doesn't look like the color red was in any of the plants, people or objects I shot.

It was 1pm PT, by the way, and at least I gave it the entire weekend this time. There's no red in ANY of the photos you took today? How can that be?

This is the only thing I shot that was red today unless you count the tail light on the bike in one shot. I went riding all day.

I really like the idea of an assignment or theme for a challange each week. It can motivate us to go out and look around. I think it should be posted on maybe thursday or friday though. I'm sure everyone here is busy and may not be able to just drop everything and go looking for red.

It was 4pm per the hour count on your post - 5 hours ago at 9:20pm ET. Scarcely the entire weekend. I tend to do more than walk out into my backyard. I can only find a smidge of red in today's stuff.

Thanks, pure luck, it was there when I went for breakfast after my haircut. It's amazing what you see when you have your camera with you. Now, if Captain Birdseye had said green... well, I got a lot of green today.

Green's too damn easy. Everything's green right now (except for the great white north, of course). Just be glad I didn't say blue. Headsup...next weekend is probably going to be a geometric shape.

I am up to my neck in alligators because of moving. (some have a ...ahem... lower opinion) and have only taken 5 pics. This is just a snap shot of a friend but it idoes have red. Maybe the mad croppers can actually turn it into a real photo. As per usual, click on the image to get the higher res jpeg to play with.

I took your advice from long ago and went to the Botanical Gardens. That shot was a rescue of a bad shot - gotta love the power of the crop. I am full of crop.


http://wxwax.smugmug.com/photos/2728025-M.jpg


You're right -- green is too easy. I could simply shoot the contents of my nose. I'm getting my butt kicked by what I guess is allergies, for what feels like the first time in my life.

Nice crop Sid, hail to the crop. Regarding your green nose.. Allegra works, take one at night but beware, continuous use tends to make one dopey..at least thats what my husband said happend to me..so I sniff and sneeze all morning but babble on a lot.

Ah cool. Glad to see you made it over there. The azaleas should be blooming pretty good now, huh?

TMI. Try Claritin...no drowsy or wired effect.

[wxwax]

I'm afraid I wouldn't know an Azalea from the green gunk in my nose. :dunno Do allergies make you fart more? :scratch Claritin it is.

Macro taken with Tamron 28-75/2.8 XR Di lens. Not bad, but probably would have been a lot crisper with the Canon 100/2.8 macro.

[fish]

I'm afraid I wouldn't know an Azalea from the green gunk in my nose. :dunno Do allergies make you fart more? :scratch Claritin it is. Azaleas are woody shrubs in the rhododendron family and do very very well in the South. They love acidic soil and humidity. Out here, they grow as shrubs, usually not more than 3-4 feet tall. In the town square in the center of Savannah, all of the hedges are azaleas, and they're all 5-6' tall. Amazingly beautiful and hardy plants that bloom in the winter/spring. They should have a bunch of them at the Botanical Gardens and also at the Atlanta History Center (Swan House / Tully-Smith House). Hell, I'll bet you can find them in your neighborhood.

I was going to link to a photo of one of mine, but smuggy seems to be a little constipated right now. So here's an attached version.

Check here (http://www.homescapes.org/101/bushes/bushesfloweringshrubs.htm) for some quick ID of Atlanta's flowering bushes.

[wxwax]

Great shot! Yours?

[fish]

Great shot! Yours? Yes. I guess I should retake it with the macro lens and see if it's any better.


Okay, here's the same cluster taken with the 100/2.8 macro. A bit better color saturation and contrast and better DOF. Both shots were at f2.8.

I like this. How about throwing some lumenence on the globulating red stuff, and use a darker background? Also if you stop drinking some of that stuff before photographing the glass would probably be vertical. :D

[hutchman]

What a nice day. It must have hit 70°F. Went for a ride out to the back of the wind farm. It was a bit windy, so much that when riding downwind at 50 mph, you were in your own dust cloud.

Anyway, some red.

Hope you all had a great weekend. The 10d and stuff will be ordered this week. I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas.

Great idea to have the weekend theme photo challenge.

Have at it.I know this is no longer the weekend and I know this is not red but if your #*%@ computer had the blue screen of death yet again you'd have nothing to show and be late too....
so here are some sagging lovely flowers son sent me for birthday.. also sent me a ticket to fly on Thursday how cool is that. So I should return with not only Seattle pics but SOME NEW #*%@ HARDWARE FOR MY COMPUTER WHICH BLUE SCREENS NOW AT EVERY BOOT!!!
Sorry... it's been a bind AGAIN recovering all my data.:cry
Have fun without me... don't be mean to each other and play nice til I get back.

[Andy]

andy is that shot sharpened ? if it is its done well or just the focus is that good.


and the shot is really in focus. i do apply usm to every image, because i leave the in-camera settings for sharpness set to lowest setting (rather do it myself in ps). this shot got a bit of usm - settings: 100/.4/0

thanks for the kind words!

[FreeUps]

The shoot was actually this real dumbass director. Guy had no clue what he was doing. My girlfriend was working on the set, so I made my way down there to snap some photos. Just some other students at my school trying to make movies. Camera/tripod can be checked out from school for free, that is if you have the 130 bucks to drop on a ten minute mag of film. My shoots coming up here in 12 days, then its the end of film school for me. Wish me luck!

Off to start a new thread of some of yesterdays photos.
