Capture The Colour Photo Contest

August 23, 2012

I have always enjoyed capturing special and unforgettable moments with a camera.  However, it was not until the last couple of years that photography has become a central part of my life.  I truly feel as though I now see the world through a lens and I cherish the fact that I am able to see details that I never noticed before or that others do not notice at all.  Which is why I am participating in a contest that celebrates photography!  I was invited to take part in Capture The Colour Photo Contest by several bloggers, as well as Travel Supermarket (the website hosting the contest).  I decided to choose some photos that most of my readers are probably not familiar with to keep things interesting. . .

Blue

Charlotte, North Carolina

Charlotte, North Carolina: Believe it or not, my first DSLR was gifted to me by a reader, who now happens to be a dear friend.  She changed my life forever and I dedicate this shot to her.  I went to the Botanical Garden in my hometown while she was visiting and this was one of the first pictures that I took using my new camera.

Green

Charlotte, North Carolina

Charlotte, North Carolina: I love love love shooting macro.  In fact, I would even go as far as to classify myself as a macro photographer.  To me life is all about the details.  I took this shot the other day in my backyard after the rain subsided and the sun came out again.

Yellow

La Habana, Cuba

La Habana, Cuba: Quite frequently, I find myself thinking, “If only I had traveled to Cuba with the camera that I have now, oh the pictures I could have taken!”  Cuba is a photographer’s dream location; the cars, the people, the buildings.  I shot this photo of a classic Cuban taxi out of the window of a taxi I was in.  I had just spent the day at the beach celebrating my 25th Birthday.

White

Kruger Park, South Africa

Kruger Park, South Africa: Again, another place that I wish I had traveled to with a better camera.  I guess this just gives me a reason to return?  African animals have been shot a million times by the world’s best photographers, thus I was looking for a unique or interesting shot and I think I found it with this zebra that had come close to our jeep during our safari.

Red

Jaipur, India

Jaipir, India: I could have easily chosen a picture for each color from my trip to India, as the country truly defines the word colorful.  While I was waiting in line for my elephant ride through the Amber Fort, I caught sight of something red and was able to get a shot of this man riding his elephant behind a gorgeous ancient gate.

    I seriously don’t know which one I like the best! I did mine hastily while directing a summer camp knowing I didn’t stand much of a chance…

    Hi Andi, you could have fooled me that you only picked up photography couple of years ago.Your photos look like they were taken by a seasoned pro. They are breathtaking. It’s nice to see the world through your lens.

    Ahhhh, your Cuba shot is AMAZING! Seriously, that is an incredible picture, and I don’t think it could have been any better with the best camera in the world. I can’t wait to go next month!

    Great photos! And a good mix in geography, too. White is my favourite, mostly because it looks like that zebra is staring into my soul!
