[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Colourful Pencils

For this week's theme... Intense colours

A few years ago Dawn, Pam and I went into this art supply shop in Ponsonby, Auckland, and the owner very kindly said we could take photos. Not many shopkeepers will allow that.

So we had fun photographing the paints and pencils and anything else that grabbed our attention.

I did a little PP work here - using ZERO / Caravaggio.

I hope you like it.

Thanks Linda for this week's suggestion. . .

Hi, Janice -
Good eye to spot this image. Love the fantastic colors and repeating shapes. The slight tilt is a nice touch. Great addition to the theme!

Janice
Your capture is very good for this friday theme!
Colors are indeed very intense!
Congratulation!

Certainly colourful Janice.. I like the 'tilt' here too.. Maybe I'd adjust the pic so that the numbers looked to be right side up - but to be honest I had to look at the pic for a while before I noticed that :-)

Hello Janice,I am pleased that the shopkeeper was kind enough to let you take shots in his shop;this is a lovely colourful study of crayons.
I like the composition with the diagonal lines.
Excellent sharpness throughout the whole shot.
Tfs, regards Jean.

I often go into shops and wonder about taking photos,I wonder why some shopkeepers are so reluctant to allow photography, especially when it is a private person?

Janice this one so far was for me the most fun to look at. first i liked the colors, your choice of angle and detail that was obtained.
Now for the part I liked... started to look for the pencils that where in the wrong place ... found 4 colors (one has two of the same in the wrong slot.

was fun

I used to have these! I did alot of art with colored pencils! How neat Jannie! Wonderful shot! The diagonal works well here, better than straight up and down! Are these oil pastels?? Pastel pencils?
B-)

Great one for the theme Janice. The colors of the rainbow .. all very vivid and sharp. Nicely composed on the diagonal too.
Great job.

Oh, I like this much!
What a good idea to present these colorful pencils for the theme!
The simplicity of the composition works nicely with these diagonale lines and vibrant colors. My little gransons would enjoy to see and play with those! The image would make a splendid big poster!
Bravo! Annie

Nice capture! A beautiful array of colours and good use of tilt to deliver them.

Of all the shops you could walk in to, I'd say an art shop would be the best bet when it comes to taking photos - the proprietor, you'd hope, would have some sympathy for the artistic instinct, hehe!

Beautifully done.

Bonsoir Janice,

Nice contribution to the theme. A lot of vivid and intense colors in this box of pencils. NIce work and TFS.

Hello Janice,

I would think shopkeepers would be flattered that you wanted to photgraph their shop! Some people can be such spoilsports!

I like this, with its diagonal lines, repeating squares and bright circles of colours.

Have a good w/e,
Bev :-)

Bom dia Janice,
A very good choice the Theme for this week. It's a challenge for imagination and you had a clever idea.
Great graphism, a good POV, amazing diagonal and intense colors.
Bravo,
Raimundo

Great diagonal composition. It made the entire difference have it tilted!

Wish you a great Saturday night (here is just morning)

Hi Janice,
great colours and a good choice of PoV.

ZERO / Caravaggio - ah ha!
(sounds like an Italian vegetarian dish)
cheers

Hi Janice,
Very colourful capture - Bet you didn't expect to be using this in a theme 3-years later! Lol. Seems perfect for the theme, certainly 'intense'. I like the slightly angled POV you've chosen, don't think it would be quite the same if it was straight. The simple black frame seems to tie everything together too - Well seen.

TFS,
Scott.

The colours are striking, but what I really like is the diagonal composition, this turns the shot into sometign really eye catching.
really nicely done.
