Welcome to the 12th occasion of the Tuesday Photo Challenge; a couple of weeks and we’ll be up and running for 3 months, thanks to all these wonderful entries and great participation!! Thank you all for this!
A radical departure from the past couple of weeks, which may be what you expect at this point, as we’ll be looking for images that are by their very nature: Colorful! What I hope you’ll do, is to jam as much color into your images, as you can get, with an eye toward having colors that work together. This is a great opportunity to be on the lookout for color in your daily lives; you may be surprised by the amount of color that is everywhere!
I hope that this is one that each of you wants to grab onto and run with! For a bit of inspiration, here’s a shot from 11 years ago of one of those spinning wind catchers that are always popular…
I was actually photographing an agility trial in upstate New York that day and had noticed this colorful spinner. So between sets of dogs running, I played with this, waiting for just the right amount of wind.
For those who’d like to participate in this weekly challenge, the rules are the following:
- Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
- Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
- Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week
- Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!
I am looking forward to your creative entries this week to see what fences catch your eye!
Technical Details
This image was captured with a Canon EOS 1D Mk II with an EF 70-200mm f/2.8L lens and 1.4x Extender. Exposure settings were 1/25 second, f/20 at 100 ISO; at 280mm this was a handheld exposure, which worked with a bit of steady hand.
Great theme Frank, open to lots of vivid interpretations. Should be fun!
Thank you, Miriam. I’m looking forward to this week’s entries!
I think there will be some great entries this week. I hope I’m not left feeling GREEN with envy.(Had to do it)
Orange you glad I gave you more color options? 🙂
lol
Another great challenge Frank. I love the photo you used.
Thank you, Kim; your entries this week are stunning!
Frank, I have just edited the post, adding an official photo from Vivid’s advertising — showing how they shine the laser show onto the Opera House. Quite a task, but they achieve it very successfully.
That is really cool! Great addition to the post.
Thank you Frank!! I love what you said about waiting for the right amount of wind. Sometimes it’s all about timing, isn’t it? I’ll do my best to get to this challenge — catching up on my blogging this weekend. Blessings. 🙂
Frank, I’m not sure what is going on. Up until the week for veggies, my pingbacks were working and so was my tag for this challenge. Now they are not. But here is my submission. Both tagged and linked. 🙁

I was able to get he tag working..WOOT WOOT! I just had to delete it entirely from my dashboard and then add it again and it seems to be working. Still not sure why my pingback to you is not showing up in the comments here. But one thing at a time right? 😉
Success!
Your wingback came through, but only after I approved it. I’ve got to check how I can get automatic wingback approval for folks who have done more than 2, just like I have my setting for comments.
Both you and Steve showed up with the tag without a problem.
Done 🙂
