Angles in Primary Colors, Plus Green * Traveller


These are actually traffic direction signals, shot last night. They are more difficult than you might think, at least in my area because they are hooded, and the only clear shot is from the middle of the street...which wasn't possible with a tripod. Still, before this Challenge is over, all my entries will revolve around traffic arrows, (I think).


other sizes: small medium original auto

Ahh, but Victor then you would lose the perfect balance...the flaws in each angle perfectly replicated. Best Wishes, Traveller

I'm bothered less about the non-photographic nature of the picture as I am that the elements appear to simply be clones of a single image. I'd rather see the same technique applied to 4 separate images. -- Victor

A favorite of mine. Simple, colorful, and right on theme. - CameraShy09

Hummmm, Alex, maybe you're right. I wouldn't know how to do this in PS without underlying images....but possibly the paintbrush? I see what you mean. But what I liked was the simple, grammar school like effects of bright color on white...though I tried a number of backgrounds before landing on this. I even shot a crystal pattern on the cieling in the dark, did this as an overlay, didn't work, reduced opacity and still didn't work, hence this final effort. The Challenges for me are an opportunity to experiment...I don't mean this badly, but I DO thank you for pointing out that I could have just done this in PS...the thought hadn't occurred to me. Best Wishes, Traveller

Nice bright colors and, certainly, there are angles.
* Just curious: what is the benefit of using a camera here? Once you get an idea, a similar or superior image can be obtained directly in Photoshop spending less effort, IMHO
