Orange and blue are n’t just capital for mascot ; they ’re complementary colors — or opposites , really , that cancel one another out when meld . But when placed side - by - side , they ’re striking . Here are 74 unbelievable example from this calendar week ’s Shooting Challenge .
Winner – Antelope Canyon
I used a Nikon D5000 with a Sigma 18 - 200 mm lense . My kinsfolk and I are on a RV trip across the southwest . This picture was taken at a space call Antelope Canyon . It is place near Page Arizona on a Navajo reservation . When i saw you guys were doing the colors photo contest I was n’t certain if i was go to be able to get that type of shot . I truly get lucky here . The way the light reacted to the wall is nothing brusque of charming . The snapshot was taken await vertically up the canon . The contemplation of the brightness realize the vivid side look puritanical and the outer canyon look orange . Since i am on vacation i have no editing package so the picture is exactly how i took it with no modifications . What a beautiful location !

Origami Nails
I have been doing a mint of origami lately , but rather than photograph the exemplar , I resolve to stress to capture ( moderately abstractly ) making origami . It warrant a new complementary nail varnish colour . f/2.8 , ISO-400 , 1/25 sec

Flower on Sky
My name is Philip Palermo , freelance lensman ( and shortly - to - be place off Software Tester ) . sequester to this email is my first - ever introduction to your Shooting Challenge contest . I ’m trying to ascertain the in and outs of this telling tv camera so I can expend it as part of my gear for a nuptials next Saturday . Once I saw the Shooting Challenge theme , I looked in our backyard . I comment our sunflowers were taking on this nice orangish shade as the sunny weather winds down . With the X100 ’s ND filter and hi - speed flashgun sync capabilities , I thought this would be a dandy opportunity to try out with the camera . Camera : Fujifilm X100 with progress - in Neutral Density filter enabled , Lighting : 2x Nikon SB-600 flashes in Manual Mode ( 1/4 power ) mounted on 2x 43″ silver reflective umbrellas and attached to the camera via a TTL spiral remote cord and a TTL wing removed electric cord .

Rock Garden
I spent the dawn in the foothills shooting an area known as “ Rock Garden . ” On the hike out I spied this very cool rock geological formation that had just begun to be lit up by the break of day . I read of this week ’s photograph challenge while process my images later that day . a chroma tweak to the already present golden Orange River and sky blue was all that was ask . Canon 60D , 24 - 105 f/4L , f/11 , 1/60 , ISO100

Another Piece of Furniture
I bought a red bass guitar with the unspoilt intentions of practice every day . This is about the most action mechanism this misfortunate bass has see in the months I ’ve had it . Complimenting it is my chartreuse chair . Chartreuse is rightfully the expert color ever . Canon Rebel T1i , 50 mm 1:1.4 , 3200 ISO , f/6.3 , 1/15

Bronco
I was hanging out with a protagonist today and his dada took us for a cruise in his 1972 Ford Bronco that he lately restore . We block off and took a few pictures during the drive . After I have home , I remembered this weeks challenge and figured the orange Bronco and the blue sky would be a perfect photo of complementary vividness to submit ! This photo was have near La Crosse , WI . The picture is an HDR and was take up at f/22 , ISO 100 , and 24 mm focal length with a Canon EOS 60D.

Tomato Sunrise
I have n’t been up for too much photo taking recently but I ’m glad I got this one completed . I am in reality pleased with how my shot came out . I was a minuscule hesitating to submit it since it look a small similar to the lead photo on the challenge page but I went with it anyway . It is a macro shot of an orange tomato from our garden in a depressed bowl taken with my outfit lens attached to some reference tubing . I cerebrate it looks like an alien sun with the trivial hairs sticking out of the tomato . Canon EOS REBEL T1i , Canon EF - S18 - 55 mm f/3.5 - 5.6 IS Lens , Extension tubes , 1/200 , ISO 1250
