Weekly challenge #394 Vibrant Colors
Posted By: schnitzer79, 07-22-2017, 10:41 PM

Thanks again geomez for the recognition and for being a great host to the previous challenge.

My theme this week is "vibrant colors". I love photos with vibrant and bold colors since I think they add that wow-factor to an otherwise simple photograph. We all know how a powerful color can be vital to an image, but we also know that too many dominant colors can make an image confusing. These colors must work beautifully with each other in order to make the image pleasing to the eye. Lets see how you can use this to your advantage to showcase your beautiful photos.

Rules for all the Weekly Challenges: Every week, a new theme is picked and judged by the winner of the previous week. This challenge is Pentax/Ricoh/Samsung cameras only.

Everyone is eligible to send in their best interpretation of the given theme, as long as the photo is taken with a Pentax/Ricoh/Samsung camera. Themes can be subject-oriented or technique-oriented. The host/judge will post winners' names in a separate thread, and will send a private message (PM) the winner to pass the baton on. The winner will then host the next Challenge, and post a new thread with a subject or theme of his/her choosing.

Contest ends next Sunday 30th July

Below are a couple of examples. Good luck!

No worries- but are you sure?

I'm flattered, but that was taken with the camera I owned prior to buying the Pentax. I'm hunting through my files for something just as cool, but with the appropriate camera.

Taken with the correct camera this time

One of the charms of living without a car is being able to get close to things that most people don't. This lighthouse is tiny in person, as lighthouses go, and sits at the end of a jetty you can't reach by car. Its twin across the harbor is white and as such not quite so photogenic.

No filters that I can recall anyway,taken with a Pentax Optio VS20, a bicycle, and a day to wander.

We have been gone for the past couple of weeks visiting Great Smoky Mountain NP. Had a great time and found lots of these Turk's Cap Lilies blooming in the dark forest recesses.
