Colour | Red Hunt Travel

Colour makes pictures pop and the TravelSupermarket Capture the Colour Photo Contest is responsible for many amazingly bright and beautiful image posts right now. It was Mariellen Ward at Breathe Dream Go who tagged me to participate in this contest, so I’m happy to share these five photos with you.

Alright, let’s get to the fun stuff…my humble entries into the world of capturing colour.

Green

This is one of the Emerald Lakes, which come into view after passing Red Crater on the Tongariro Alpine Crossing in New Zealand.

Red

Well, hello there little lantern gecko. The gecko inside this lantern had it’s own private buffet of bugs. Flying insects would be attracted to the light and he’d be quick to gobble them up.

White

A bird known for it’s blue feet, being chosen for a white image? Indeed, sometimes you have to look beyond the obvious to find a fun, or different, photo. A little fact about the blue-footed booby bird: Males have smaller pupils than the females! (This is a male.)

Blue

No boobies here, just a lone snorkeller passing by in paradise. A fairly classic image – bright blue skies and brighter blue waters in the Maldives.

Yellow

Some Canadian colour. The Boreal forest turns into a blanket of red, orange and yellow during the autumn. A beautiful time of year for hiking and enjoying nature.
