Description:

Well today is the first day of the UK postal strikes, so i felt inspired to creat a digital swap just incase they decide to keep on going on strike!

but this will be an INTERNATIONAL swap, because sharing is great and everyone should share photos!

so here is the challenge:

Take a photo of something for each colour in the list - or find a photo you have already taken. it MUST be taken by YOU. The main focus of the photo must be of the colour. for example a purple flower - or a pink car. the main subject in the photo doesn't have to be a close up or macro, but it must be clear to see which colour the photo represents with out people having to ask.

try and make it a photo of something that means something to you, and explain what the photo means for you.

you can either send as an email attachment or as a flickr album etc. i will also set a flickr group, which i will send you all an email invite to once the sign up has closed.

Newbies are welcome but please contact me first - i feel that everyone has to start somewhere.

for us older member a rating of 4.5 and above please.

so the final thing is the list of colours:

  • Black
  • Red
  • Light/Sky Blue
  • Royal Blue
  • Navy Blue
  • Lilac
  • Purple
  • Pink
  • Brown
  • Orange
  • Green
  • Turquoise
  • Yellow
  • White
  • Cream
  • Peach
  • Grey
  • Silver
  • Gold
  • Copper
  • Fluroscent
  • Rainbow

(thats 22 photos!)

Happy Snapping and Swapping!

yay!!! this sounds like fun :)

jennyb 06/29/2007 #

you don't have to wait!! if you were planning on setting up a flickr album you could always check back through past photos to see if anything stands out and would suit the swap!

What colour is "flourescent"?

like lots of post-it-notes are and also highlighters/marker pens.

i think the pens called sharpies in the USA - they are sometimes those colours.

is that any help?

another exmaple of what i mean: http://www.identi-tape.com/fluorescent_gateway.htm

Can the photos be digitally altered?

jennyb 07/ 2/2007 #

no - they need to be photos of objects that are naturally that colour that you have taken.

hi ,I've been trying to send to my partners but after 3 hours it just stopped as it was just not going! What do I do now? I know the photos can be compressed but I don't know how so I may have to get coppies and send them snil mail. Sorry for this but I try to work something out. :-(((

AngelFaeryKathleen 07/20/2007 #

Hi again, a friend put me onto a free programme called shirk pic and that has done the trick. My partners will now be getting their photos if they have not already arrived. In 3 lots, the message and list in the first and photos in the next two but they have been uploaded.

Sowhimzee, Sylverstarz17 and Denimdrifters you should have them. Hugs :-)))))
