Clashing Colors - August 2012

OHHHH! That looks like ALOT of fun, Carin. SUPER idea. :)))

Thank you dear Carin!

I guess that clashing colors are the same as bright contrasting colors.

This I conclude because of the beautiful examples,
as the translation into Dutch does something strange.

:)

@ Jacomina ... yes, it also means "Complimentary" colors, which is sort of backwards, but means the same as contrasting.  Things that are opposite on the color wheel.  Red and green, purple and yellow, blue and orange ... they're all wonderful combinations! 

I'm looking forward to this.  It should be a great challenge!

Thank you dear Tara.

It will sure be a wonderful challenge.

Thank you  for the new challenge Carin.

God Bless.

Dolls and dudes - I am waiting in anticipation for the first image!

Ummmmm ... we're home for a couple days, and I left my camera in the motorhome at the campground!  LOL!  I'll see what I can do.  Patience, Grasshopper!  It's only the first of the month.  :P

Just to get the ball rolling, here's a picture I took about ten days ago.  I promise to look for more once I'm reunited with my camera!  :)

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Wonderful challenge for this month Carin. 

I think I can find a few things that contrast this month. 

This is my first one from the Mission District Clarion Alley Murals. 

 In Xanadu did Kublai Khan a pleasuredome erect

This is going to be fun.  I got some photography-ing to do!

This photo is only a few hours old...emphasis on a FEW...it was taken as I was walking home from work.  I don't know the name of this place, but it's lighting scheme is always a bit gaudy.  This is the first night I saw the fire.

Bill brought me a bowl of blueberries in one of our bright yellow bowls, and I couldn't resist the challenge ... this was taken with my iPhone on auto-flash!  Yikes!  Well, you use what you have.  :P

 

 

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

OHHH MYYY!!! What wonders you already have posted in here, friends. Simply fantastic. WOW WOW!!!!!! :D

Within half an hour, I am out of the door, so no time for Photos right now, but maybe in the place I am going :)

Tara - Love that hairdo and the blueberries in the yellow bowl are perfect! (Great for a phone shot!)

Chip - Love the contrasting light in this magnificent night shot.

Costa - wow! I saw it on your FB and thought it would be perfect for the challenge!

Great kick off folks!

I don't know if anyone's interested in this, but I thought I'd give a little background.

Tara, you may have used the common mis-spelling of "complimentary" quite unintentionally; but let me correct it here.

The actual word is "compl-E-mentary" (with an "e"), meaning "to complete". In color theory, those opposite colors "complete" each other. When combined, they produce either pure white or pure black. (Sometimes gray.) I won't get into reasons, but we naturally resonate with these opposites because they feel like opposites. And when put next to each other---as the wonderful photos above show---they create immense contrasts.

The Impressionists (Monet) put complementary colors next to each other to create luminosity. The Post Impressionists (van Gogh) put them together to create an almost sweltering look. "Clashing" is often used in place of "complementary". They create explosive contrasts.

I give a link below---van Gogh---to show reds against greens. It's an intense hangover of a scene, one of his most famous interiors. That's the power of clashing colors...

The photographs above are all marvelous! Just wanted to give a little background...

be well, all, mark

(The van Gogh:)

ps---when I said a "common misspelling" I meant that a lot of books and articles call it 'complimentary', not that you can't spell, Tara. Hope that was clear! (It's a common mistake). m

 

 

Thanks for the correction!  I didn't take it personally ... not to worry!  :)  My self worth is not tied to my ability to spell.  The information is interesting, and makes SOoooo much more sense! 

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Tara - Your usual bold, beautiful portraits. The portrait (from a series many of your fans love) has beautiful saturated hues, with wonderfully clashing reds/greens, oranges/blues, etc. And real joy too...

The blueberries have deep blues and orange-yellows (in painting that would be a wonderful 'cadmium yellow'). Fine minimalism and off-center composition.

Costa - I've seen shots like these in your gallery, and they're visual dances. The artist(s) wanted to make their colors bounce off each other, and that's what they do in your shot. And it's great to see the lines in the wall, etc. Brings us back to what it really is...

Chip - another of your spirit-inside-the-building shots, with real complementary contrasts and a luminosity that only you get. I've lived in this city for years, and I still think you travel to ancient Mesopotamia to get your shots. The blues and oranges are lucious.

Ok, mine (below) aren't as dramatic: Just yellows/purples, and blues/oranges. Blended by nature...but the clash gives them a 'jump', I think. Hope you like 'm...

(ps - the pics are faded from compression...the originals were 2 mgs each. Sorry! I just couldn't get them clearer without making them look artificial)

 

Thanks Mark for the very interesting info on colors!

Isn't nature just the very best. Love the complementary sky colors you have captured over your amazing Lake Michigan!

Thanks Folks!!!

@ Tara: That dazzling hairstyles, Tara, and super berries from Bil ;-)

@ Costa such a nice mix of colors

@ Chip that flame is so vivid in your photo.

@ Mark, beautiful skies, brilliant red.

@Carin, your colors pop from the screen, especially that parrot.

@Helle, what pepping up colors your flowers have.

I'm jealous of your sleepiness, dear friend.
Here only by taking pills against pain,
and unfortunately, only a few hours 'under sail',
then back to 'the fight must go on'.

But I don't complain.
Tonight
new changes,
right? ;-)

Also this week new changes to make splashing-colors-shots :D

See you soon, friends!

Hello everyone. This theme will be very difficult for me to deal with. My photographs are suffering from chronic monochromatic tone.

Tara you are great, I do not know where you found your models but they are perfectly in tune. The blueberry embody the challenge this month, I think.

Hello Costapanos, wonderful mural.

Chipka Hello, very good night capture.

Hello Anahata, your explanation in English for me is a little complicated in the coming days I will try to study it. About your shots: images clear and fascinating.

Hello Carin, your photos have a decisive cut and expressive. Very beautiful.

Hello Helle, your flowers are clean and elegant, as usual.

Hello Jacomina, very funny and incisive, great contrast.

Please let me know if a shot like this is in tune with the challenge.

Oh yes, Arturo!  This is wonderful!  Brilliant colors.  :)

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

An eyecatcher and very splashing, Arturo. I love that purple in it.

Excellent Arturo. Lovely colors indeed.

Some really great images popping up! Went to The Misson on strolling looking for complentary colors. They are every! I will post a few more. 

 In Xanadu did Kublai Khan a pleasuredome erect

Good morning... Danish time :)

Here is my first for this week...

Oooooh, what is this a beautiful picture and door, Helle! 

I just LOVE that peeling blue paint, and that little bright red; that, plus the lock are 'stunning' in it.

Hehehe: knock, knock, and the door falls down, DENG!

Love the orange lock plate on that blue door!  Nice!  :)

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Wow Helle. This shot is amazing. Color saturation is high but not over the right tone. Great. I love this one.

Thank you, Jacomina, Tara and Arturo :-)....

OK back to the gr.children.  My friend has gone back to Copenhagen now.

Hi there dear friends!

I send you 'thumbs up' , by waving to you all, through this cheerful children, with their long legs.
And I hope you have fun today.

Bye, bye :)

OHHH! How cute they are and, Jacomina. Wonderful colors indeed. Perfect. :)

Perfect color combo, Jacomina!  :)  And aren't they cute!!

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

For the weekend, and also the end of the first week here: A splashing kiss for my friends :)

That green stripe offsets the orange lipstick perfectly!  Nicely seen!

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Thank you, Tara :)

I am way behind.

I will have to get of my bum and start searching for clashing colors for this challenge.

Such amazing work by each and every one who have uploaded pictures for this challenge.

God Bless.

HAHAHA JacoMina ! What a fun capture. Love it :) Perfect colors :D

Havent had much time for this fun myself, but the other day I took a shot of something i want you to guess what is:  Coming next.

What are the two balls???

Superb capture Helle.

God Bless.

Well, ya can't get more complementary than green and orange....

This is called a "Butterfly Plant" and was taken at Burr Oak Woods Conservation Area near Blue Springs, Mo. just east of Kansas City.

I couldn't resist a bit of playing with Photoshop and VP.. Enjoy! :-D

"I reject your reality and substitute my own" - Adam Savage

A really lovely bunch of flowers, Rod. Gorgeous colors :-)

Hello Jacomina, the three dolls are fantastic, incredible discovery and beautiful framing.
Hello Helle, your still life has a beautiful light: soft and sliding.
RodS Hello, nice contrast in your flowers.

One more for me.

Yum and excellent colors, Arturo :-)

 

Night folks.  I am going to sleep now... YAAAAWN !!! Past midnight 25 minutes ago.

ZZZZzz... ooops!

Helle --- candles?  Beautiful, whatever they are!  :)

 

Nicely done, Rod!  Welcome!  :*

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Thank 'ee Tara! I'll see what else I can dig up.... Taking a couple R&R days to play. And I'm enjoying the heck out of it!

"I reject your reality and substitute my own" - Adam Savage

And another before I go to bed. I'm stuck in the green-orange mode tonight! LOL! I don't remember where I shot this... But the colors did catch my eye. Again, a little fiddling in Photoshop and VP.

"I reject your reality and substitute my own" - Adam Savage

Such a lovely result, Rod. Gorgeous colors.

 

Tara, nope it is a vegetable :D  But thanks for your kind words :)

Superb capture for the challenge Rod.

God Bless.

Love the blue bowls and pink shrimp, Arturo! 

 

Green and orange is just fine, Rod.  Your postwork makes this one pop!

 

Vegetables, Helle?  My word.  Nothing I've ever seen before!  If nobody guesses, will you tell?

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Yes I will, tomorrow il take a picture and show you :D  Night :-)  I am almost sleeping :)

But I could .... no, if I post anything now I cant post the veggie Open tomorrow, so I better not post now.

Okay.  I'll wait patiently!    Off to bed now ... it's just after midnight here.  Maybe when I wake up in the morning the answer will be here, waiting for me! 

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

YUP!  As I promised, here it is, my friend :) 

Superb capture Helle.

God Bless.

Thank you Christo :)

Let me give this challenge a go. A bright yellow southern masked male weaver in a pale looking brown background. I trust this one will pass for the challenge.

My second the contrasting colors of sunrise.

Blessed day and week.

God Bless.

Gorgeous little bird, Christo and the sunset is so lovely :-)

Your images are beautiful, Christo!  I especially like the bird.  (The contrast color for yellow is purple, though, and the contrast for red is green.)

 

I see it is not a candle, Helle!  But ... what is it???  I've never seen such a thing.  The seeds look like it's a cucumber or a squash, but the outside ... ???  And the stem is so thin ... I thought it was a wick.  :P 

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

HEHE!  You guessed it. It was a cucumber. A special sort, which has little needles all over, you have to rub off with somerhing and then take off the skin before eating it, but it tastes like a normal cucumber. It is Per who bought it for the fun, so it is in our green house :)

And I had never seen such thing either :)

Well, my word.  What a fun thing!  Now you've got me hungry for a salad with cucumber!  :)

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Guys - you are all doing great!

Apologies for not popping in very regularly! I am dealing with some issues! Please keep on having fun here.

Tara I just ate salat with cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce, carrots and tuna fish :)

Tara thank you i will search for contrasting colors and upload next week for the challenge.

God Bless.

THE CLASH

Outstanding work. Garageland.

Yes, I agree with Christo.  :)

Hello Rod. Your green orange post is beautiful, you should post it on your gallery to have a bigger image. Hello Helle, thanks for appreciation. A beautiful still life yellow blue for you. I guessed cucumber. Hello Tara, thanks for appreciation. Christo Hello, nice pictures with a preference for the yellow bird for laying and the soft light. Garageland Hello, nice  scene and POV. Very expressive

I found another shot. Here it is

Arturo ,

Amazing capture.

God Bless.

Arturo & Garageland - amazing images!

Late as usual - thanks to you all for the inspiration!

My first taken on Sir Lowry's Pass, close to Cape Town.  The wind was favourable and there were nine paragliders soaring on the slopes of the Helderberg.

I like the contrasting colour of his helmet.

 

Awesome result, Clive. Looks fantastic :)

Superb capture Clive.

Awesome Clive! Love the colorful handglider against the backdrop!

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Oh this is so mysterious, Helle. A splendid color, this special blue and yellow.
I have no idea what these are for seeds or fruits.
Are they edible, dear friend?
The textures on which the photo was taken is also very nice.

Hi Rod, what a fantastic color orange, so pretty deep.
It's a very sunny splashing one!
And "yes", I enjoyed it. I hope there will come beautiful butterflies on it, and you can captered one of this fast flying beauties too!

Wishing all a lovely weekend.
Here it's still HOT!
I did shopping very early in the morning, you burned alive here :D

Here my first one.

It's taken in our street, right at the top of our very large ('mountain') street.

Stunning upload Mies.

God Bless.

This picture was taken in Geleen, the city where I'm shopping. I saw a classmate of our youngest daughter, she stood there with her baby, and I could take pictures, even though I find it a bit scary, to take pictures of people.

I also have a picture of this girl laughs exuberantly to me, however here to see the bright colors.

Bye, bye :)

Thank you, Christo!
I didn't see your words earlier.

God bless,
Mies-Jacomina :)

Two lovely images Jacomina - perfect for the theme! Well done girlfriend!

Both amazing capture Mies.

God Bless.

Thank you again, Christo.
Wishing you a lovely weekend, also for your family.

I took a walk on a farm where they grow Geraldton Wax flowers.  Amongst the rows of pink flowering bushes there was a solitary white one.  A different bit of clashing of colour...

 

I don't know for sure, but I guess this flowers here are called 'Gipskruid' (Gypsophila).
Otherwise I don't recognize this flowers

It's a very beautiful image, Clive.

Hi Mies,

I looked this one up and found this on Wikipededia:

Chamelaucium uncinatum

Geraldton wax is a flowering plant endemic to Western Australia. It is an erect shrub 0.5 to 4m high, bearing white or pink flowers June-November.

I hope this helps a bit!

Clive

Hi Clive,

Thank you so much for the info.

I will look for it tomorrow. The name is a great help (you are actually).

:), here it's bed-time now.

Superb capture and upload Clive.

God Bless.

What a lovely capture of the neirhbor garden, Jacomina. And such a cute little baby too with lovely colored toy.  What you saw were little cucumbers of a special kind. :)

 

CLive, I like your Wax flowers alot. Beautiful shot :)

 

 

 

The first on this new week. 

Outstanding work Helle.

God Bless.

Thanks alot, Christo :)

Impressive images!  I need to get busy ... :P

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Hi Friends,

@ Clive
First this: I didn't see your red helmet super-photo, Clive.
A great catch here!
And I looked for that flowers, men what a lot of species I've seen!

@ Helle....cucumbers!!!???, I never guessed that!
Maybe they taste like that, but one can't see this.
These fruits do not deserve that name. LOL. Baby-cucumbers.

Your looking-through leaf is marvelous, Helle!

Thank you very much, Jacomina :-) Yes the tiny cucumbers ere quite odd :-)

Superb capture Mies.

God Bless.

Here something to eat in clashing colors.

Wow ... that's really cool, Jacomina!  A great shot no matter the colors, and the clash is perfect!

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Hello Christo, thank you. Hello Carin, thanks Hello Helle, thanks and congratulations to the X-ray leaf  (LOL) Hello Clive, the first is a beautiful image. perfectly framed. The other shows perfectly the emphasis of diversity. Hello Jacomina, adorable your hydrangeas. I do not know if the child is frightened by the camera or playing multicolored. Great catch. But I prefer strawberries also because you can eat (LOL).

Here is another proof colored.

OH! YUMMY Jacomina. They look so delicious.  A beautiful shot :)

 

What a beautiful firework you have cought here, Arturo :)

Thanks Tara, Helle, Christo and Arturo.

I love your fireworks, Arturo (this would make a lovely background for one of my fractals :sneaky: ;-)

A unique take on the subject, Arturo!  The green and orange of the fireworks is just right.  Well done!  :)

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Hi Friends :-)

Here is my second attempt :)

Sweet!

My mouth is watering....

Oooohh!  Great image, Helle!  You and Clive can have the sugary sweets, though.  I'll just enjoy the photograph.  :)

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

No sweets for me too, but your photo is amusing and superb, Helle!
Sweet kisses are sending to Denmark :tt1:

Great upload Arturo and Helle.

God Bless.

Thanks guys. My stomach is NOT happy about such sweets either. Sometimes I cant resist anyway and must pay for it. Dennis my youngest son is on vacation for two weeks again.   He eats anything that is organic  

...Is he a goat then?

Hi girlfriend Helle,

To answer your question about your Dennis :

If he starts to bleat like a goat, or even if he goes ruminating, then it's the case!
Another 'knowie',  horns can remain hidden for a long time on a goat, so this is not always be seen, or proof; so stay alert and awake, dear Helle!

Just that you know

 Jacomina!!

Heheehee!  :D 

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Well, I am sure he has no horns, as I am the one who cuts his hair LOL!

Quote - Well, I am sure he has no horns, as I am the one who cuts his hair LOL!

Maybe you did cut his horns too, and you didn't even noticed this, my friend.

Of Karel I got the information that you have to pay attention to his poop('shit'). 

: Watch out to whether they are, or become already small droppings.

And now enough detail distributed here,  I'm going to concentrate on the bright colors.
It should be done with my chatter talk, okay? :unsure:

Wishing you all a bright day!
And, don't worry, Helle!

Well I dont think my son (35) would appreciate that Jacomina.

Wish you a bright day too. 

With this one, I wish you all a lovely and relaxing weekend, dear friends!

Thank you Mies.

I need the well wishes.

Superb capture.

God Bless.

Thank you Christo, I hope you are not sick.
If, I hope you will recover as soon as possible!!!

God bless,
Mies-Jacomina.

I am fine Jacomina it is just nice to get well wishes.

God Bless.

That is indeed a colorful and perfect shot for this challenge, Jacomina :-)

Yes, I understand you, Christo!

Thank you Helle :)!

Now we all have two to go for this week!

LET'S GO, GUYS, :D

Fireworks, Sweets and Balloons - all awesome images folks!

I had quite some joy reading through the thread! :):)

I do love it 

Oh my, I now see I missed a whole page here. Shame on me.

F.E.
I missed the shrimp of Arturo, sorry for that, my friend.

I find it very beautiful blue against the pink color!

And Garageland and Rod, I've missed too.

Mea Culpa. :cursing:

Wishing again a nice week!

And here is my last for this challenge. A shot from the amusement park we visited wednesday. :-)

So cute, dear Helle! Fantastic captured and excellent colors for the theme.

BTW : Did you make a ride in that funny car?
Otherwise, I would love to see a photo with you between those yellow guys, (or must I say stunt-men'?)

(Great you did this upload, I've  almost forgotten I have to upload my two 'clashings' of this week.)

Thank you Jacomina :-D

HEHE!  Nope, I  bet I couldnt press myself into the seats. :) 

OH, so you better hurry to post your two.  After all, it is the 31th today :D

Well, here my first, Solidago and Physalis (we call it Lampion-plant), shot taken in our garden.

And then we choose a "sandwich-healthy" (we call it: "een broodje gezond").

Superb capture Helle.

Two wonderful captures Mies.

God Bless.

Thought that this might fit the bill.

This one auntietk suggested to post!

Jacomina,  Your flower and background are so lovely together :-) And the healthy sandwish is such fun to see :-) Wonderful for this challenge :)

 

And Jeff,  your Pink flower with the beeks soo lovely. So is your wonderful butterfly on purple. :)  Great for this challenge. :)

 

Outstanding captures Jeff.

God Bless.

Thank you Christo and Helle!

Indeed two splendid photo's, Jeff.
I love the contrast and the beautiful colors together!!!

This has been a wonderful challenge!  Sorry I didn't get around to posting more ... we've been building that wall, spreading fill dirt, painting stairs, pressure washing and weeding and collapsing in a heap.  :P 

Looking forward to seeing what tomorrow brings!  :)
