Color Inspiration

Practicing photography. Some snapshots and some color inspiration.























How beautiful is blue?! The shades of the sky are continuously changing all day long. My first thought always when I go out to take pictures is "the sky."  Even when it's dark or gray the sky is a good subject. I read recently these photography tips: to look for leading lines, look for your horizon and use the rule of thirds. I'm working on those.
























Color inspiration catches your eye. For me, as a painter, even if I hear a color said that perhaps I have not heard in awhile or forgot about. Then I hear it and I become obsessed with it.  Red is my favorite color and I at times I am seeking the perfect red, bright and bloody and full of love. Every year for Christmas I ask for red nail polish, red like blood I write on the list and I have yet to receive the perfect shade; the shade to me that is red, but to everyone else it is shiny, it is creamy, it is orange.  Maybe everyone is colorblind?


When I get a color inspiration, I feel the deepness of the color. I see it bursting before me and I have to capture it.

What's your favorite color?
