Capture the Colour
Last year around this time I was nominated to take part in a photo blogging challenge, but I was kind of intimated then not only by the participants in the challenge but also by the judges. So I didn’t participate.
So yeah, that’s not happening this year. Even though I am still intimidated, my pride for these photos is greater than my intimidation.
It’s really quite simple, post a blog post of five travel photographs representing five categories; red, blue, green, yellow, and white – The five photographs showcasing which best “Capture the Colour.”
So here goes… Representing my favourites in capturing the colour:
Red
Bedouin with his camels in Wadi Rum, Jordan
Green
Some contemplation in the small fishing village of Praiano, Italy on the Amalfi Coast
Yellow
My favourite urban jungle in the whole world. My hometown of Chicago, Illinois USA
Blue
The Dead Sea, Jordan and a girl covered with the mud of the Dead Sea
White
The Scottish Highlands
All of the information including the rules, how to enter, who are the judges, and more, can be found on the Capture the Colour Travel Supermarket page.
You can also follow all the entries on Travel Supermarket’s Pinterest Boards, and see all of last years submissions as well.
You can also follow on Facebook and Twitter
One of the rules is that you must nominate five others. So I nominate the following:
Antoinette of Love Antoinette
Mjollnir of Life: A Scot in Norway
Gunta of Movin’ On
Georgia of Rainbow Bakery
Moni of Blatherskite
I love these photos, Tahira, especially the Bedouins in the desert of Wadi Rum, the Scottish Highlands and the Dead Sea with the girl covered in mud. 🙂
Thanks, Cathy. For sentimental reasons my favorite leans toward the Scottish Highland but I think, objectively, my favorites are also of the Bedouin and of the Dead Sea mud girl.
But then again… my favorites change constantly…. 😉
Yes, I guess it depends what your mood is, right? 🙂
Tell me again why you feel intimidated…these pictures are gorgeous! I think you’ve captured the color perfectly…
Thanks, Wendy! In the end I’m just having a really good time doing what I am doing.
Am glad you were fearless and posted these.They capture the color beautifully.
Thank you so much, Lynne.
Wow love it!!! You deserve to win 😉 My favorite is the dead sea one… Makes me want to go there right now!!!
Come!! I will meet you! Haha would we have fun in the mud!! 😉
These are great shots! Well done Tahira!
Thank you, Elisa!
These are gorgeous and perfect for the five categories! Yea, why you felt intimidated?
I dunno, Amy… 🙂
And thank you, as always!
Very cool! Love the colors!
Thank you, my favorite amusing muse!
These photos are absolutely gorgeous – all of them! Impossible to pick the favourites.
PS: A new photo challenge – you are welcome to participate! http://esengasvoice.wordpress.com/2013/08/18/eses-weekly-shoot-quote-challenge/
Thanks, Ese! It’s much appreciated.
Looks like a really fun challenge. I have a feeling you will have a lot of success with it! And thanks for the heads-up about it.
Stunning entries. Wishing you great good luck. Thanks for the nod. I can do the color, but the travel gets a bit tricky since I seem to be mostly stuck on the beach. Will have to work up some inspiration perhaps.
Thanks so much, Gunta! And to me it’s not about the “travel” per say. Someone half a world away who has no idea about the Pacific Northwest in the States will be amazed and blown over by your photography and to them it’s “traveling” to your neck of the woods :))

Beautiful images – I especially love the one you chose for blue.
Thanks, Jennifer! I too love that shot & am very proud of it.
There are some prize winners in there, girl! Wadi Rum is magical, and somehow I just love the zing of those tulips. 🙂
Good luck! Mine’s underway too- decisions! decisions!

Tahira, Your photos are stunning and perfect for the theme. I am particularly drawn to the woman in the Dead Sea and the Bedouin – so exotic. All the best, Terri
Thanks, Terri! I got some truly amazing shots while in Jordan. Thanks for coming by and thanks for the feedback. It’s appreciated!
You’re welcome Tahira. I also loved shooting in Jordan – particularly the Bedul children. It was such an amazing place. ~Terri
