Found: Orange

September 6, 2010 By Stephanie Calabrese

I love it when a shot of color finds me, like these orange pants hung out to dry beside my friend Sabi’s house in Pokhara, Nepal. How could I miss them? How could I not shoot them? Does a shot of color in a landscape of gray stop you in your tracks? Give us a shot of your color today.

    How about some pink (or red, depending on your monitor): http://www.kateyeview.com/2010/09/whats-your-door-personality.html

    Love the orange against that monochrome grey.
    Not sure if this qualifies as a 'shot' of color..or just simply color on a windy day:

    Here's my photo of color — orange too. Right now I am really into the chocolates and deep oranges of autumn!

    Not a great shot, but I love this picture of the rainbow flags hanging all over the main strip in Provincetown, MA. http://www.flickr.com/photos/laceybean/4925569036/in/set-72157624679509141

    Came across this heart-shaped balloon miles and miles away from any town. The flash of red caught my eye as we drove by while riding quads. It left me feeling rather strange; there was a story in there somewhere.

    Driving through the redwoods Saturday, when a view over the lagoon opened, and brilliant colors filled the sky.
