Colour projects - tips for great photography

Why not pick a favourite colour and make it into a project. Find as many objects in that colour and put them together into an album on a website like flickr. In this set I have chosen a square format and by getting in close increased the level of abstraction.

 Life-ring at the Albert Dock Liverpool. Notice the very shallow depth of field and the very blurred background.

Chester busker from Peru. Fantastic colours in his traditional costume.

 Maserati on the streets of Manchester. I like the drifting clouds reflected in the gloss.

 Had to include a flower I suppose! Getting in close makes it a little difference. Walton Hall near Warrington.

Tight crop again but the logo loses none of its power on this tail-fin at Liverpool Airport.

A lot of people make such colour collections into mosaics and montages and this might be one way to develop it. Happy colour hunting!
