Blue paint on rough concrete. I like how the sulfur-yellow deposits stand out in contrast.

From a sunny January walk in Bowmont Park, Calgary. A modest chinook brought a temperature of +4°C and I wandered down to the river with my Canon 30D camera and 28-105 f/3.5-4.5 II USM lens. This was my stand-by kit for photo explorations many years ago. Now I much prefer a mirrorless camera and electronic viewfinder with its superior information display and WYSIWYG output, but there is something satisfying about the distinctive click of a mirror in a DSLR. Very happy with the quality of the photos I got from my old camera today.

Ever get the feeling your model is a bit fed up?

Working on Complementary Colours for a camera club session, found a tutorial suggesting a banana on a purple plate, or change the colours. Couldn't resist that challenge, so here you have a banana on a white dish. Colour changes made in both LR and PS, but I preferred the LR version, so here it is...

So at college today we where asked to make examples of complimentary colours used in photography. Here is one I liked.

Oil & acrylic on board (2005)

Combining colours is fun, sometimes tricky and often a matter of different tastes. I haven't really known which colours are considered complementary, until today when I looked them up online.

Red and green has always been the traditional Christmas colour scheme for me. I actually wanted to avoid it today, and look for the other two colour pairs, but then, cycling home from school, I saw this red post box in the middle of the green conifers. It looked such a bright sight in our otherwise brown spring surroundings that I just had to snap a picture of it. Nothing Christmasy in this warm, sunny afternoon picture - at least not for me.

Wanted to try and find something that was both translucent and coloured to see how colour was affected by light.

Looking at complimentary colours.

Filled a vase with water then poured in acrylic paint, the aim was to capture the flow and movement of the paint.

Taken in normal light conditions. Trying to focus on the interesting patterns of movement of the paint

complementary colours, shallow DOF

Didn't know how to get rid of the red part, so just pretend it's not there :)

Fuschia (subtractive color) complementing green (primary colour).

Loved these bright violet flowers with yellow centres in Malleny Garden in Balerno ... as if they chose their centre colour to be most pleasing to the eye. Nature rocks.
