Last week I spend full day for selecting 7 super shots and today I want to join another competition – Capture the Colour Photo Contest by TravelSupermarket.com<\/a>. You need to publish photos that captures Blue, Green, Yellow, White or Red colours. But you can enter competition even if you don’t have photos for all 5 colours<\/span> as each colour has it’s own judge and will be winner in each colour category. To win main prize you must publish photo for each colour. Category winner will get iPad 3<\/a> and overall winner will receive a \u00a32,000 cash prize to spend on travelling. Entries must be submitted by 29th August 2012<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

I suggest you to read judges’ thoughts before submitting your travel pictures:<\/p>\n

Ken (blue<\/strong><\/span>): “I’d like to see some clever use of blue in a photo. While it is not obligatory, I’d like to get your take on the word blue, the colour blue, a splash of blue that captures the attention of the viewer or any other interesting non obvious way of using blue in a photo. Of course any of your favourite photos with blue in them will do just fine, but try to be original!”<\/em><\/p>\n

Abi (green<\/strong><\/span>): “I’m looking for something unusual: an image from a place that makes me think of it in a whole new light. Show me something I’ve never seen before. Tell me about how the place relates to its people, their attitudes and their history. And make sure you had fun snapping it. Somehow, that always shows!”<\/em><\/p>\n

Dave and Deb (yellow<\/strong><\/span>): “What I am looking for in the photos is a unique way for you to express the colours. Each colour should be an element of the photograph and not dominate the whole scene. I am looking for something beyond the clich\u00e9s like a red sunset, blue sky or yellow flowers. For me originality will always take precedence over a pretty photograph.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Christine (white<\/strong><\/span>): “I love photos that tell a story.\u00a0 I want something that could have only been taken by you, in that moment, in that way.\u00a0 I love it when a photo captures a place so well that even if I’ve been there before, I think to myself, wow, I have to go there.”

Daniel (red<\/strong><\/span>): “We see the world in beautiful colours, and in each photo, different colours compete to attract the eye. Colour in photography should be used not only to make an image pleasing, but to also direct the viewer to the main subject, grab his attention and tell a story. I especially like the use of complementary colours to create a harmonious balance in a shot.”<\/em><\/p>\n

BLUE

I love scuba diving and the first thing in mind about blue colour was water. It is such amazing feeling of freedom underwater with all fish around you.<\/p>\n
