The colour orange

May 15, 2013 by Jen

Last month I concentrated on taking photos with the theme of orange. Below are the results. I’d chosen orange with a view to taking lots of autumn leaf shots but only ended up with one decent photo to use.

I’m loving how this colour photo project is making me see things. I think any photography project makes you look at things a bit differently around you.

You know when you’re on the lookout for something, you all of a sudden see lots of them? Say if you’re researching a type of car to buy, you all of a sudden see heaps of them on the road, where you never noticed them before.

I wonder if I would have looked twice at the graffiti below if it wasn’t mostly orange?

I wonder if I would have seen that lone brick on the beach if it wasn’t mostly orange?

    I often play the game with my 3 year old of seeing a certain colour – it is amazing what you see when you apply such a filter!! Orange is indeed my favourite colour, and I love your shots.

      We used to play the game of spotting cars with a particular colour, and whoever got the most, won. It kept us occupied when on holidays or longer trips.

    Orange is the fashionable colour right now too. So eye popping. Loved this colourful post to cheer up my bleak winter day here. Ugh, I so do not like being cold.

      I have no idea what colour is ‘on trend’ at any given time, so how’s that for my timing? Glad it cheered up your bleak wintery day.
