Welcome to the 17th edition of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!  Last week’s topic of close-up photography produced some wonderful results ranging from Nature to man-made across the spectrum of subjects.

For this week’s challenge, I’d like you to explore a color: Blue.   As we’ve seen with other colors there is a range of expression throughout the varying hues of blue that we encounter.  My suggestion is that you take a look around you and identify which shades of blue speak most to you and explore these through your photography, so that you can learn more about them and share that learning with the rest of us.

This example shows various blue shades throughout one image, which may give you an idea about what these shades mean to you…

So, be a blue explorer and find your favorites of this color!  And remember to have fun!

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 expect this challenge to provide some interesting imagery, as this is a color that is kind of important to our home world!

Technical Details

This image was captured with a Canon EOS 5D MkII using an EF 24-105mm f/4L lens.  Exposure settings were at 1/100 second, f/11 and 400 ISO.
