Sunday, I spent the afternoon walking through Oakville with ten students for a Creative Urban Photography walk.

A few pictures here. I thought I would concentrate on colour. And even on a very cold fall afternoon, there is colour.

Like contrasting colour, in this case red and green:

Red-Green

Or harmonious pastel colour:

Colours

Or subtle single colour:

Coffee Beans

Or simple single colours:

Plant

Or beautiful fall colours:

Fall colours

Or colour warmed up by a gel on the flash:

So if a cold afternoon can show colours like this, so can anything else. As long as you spot the colours.

Your assignment, therefore, if you wish: Spend an afternoon shooting in the environment of your choice, looking only for colours.

And remember to:

1. Set the correct white balance
2. Expose well (do not overexpose; use your histogram or a Hoodman Hood Loupe)

Enjoy your outing!
