First wildcard of the challenge and I must confess, I was not into it. I generally am not crazy about shooting concet words like love, happiness, rainbows, etc. And of course, to make matters worse, it's raining today and I can't even get a shot of the little rainbow the prism in my window makes on the wall. So, it was up to my imagination, which really wants a break! I tried making a collage of a rainbow's variety of dishes I have, painting rainbows with the lights from my Christmas tree and photographing a rainbow of my scrapbooking markers, but each one sort of left me flat. Finally I dabbled with coloring the word rainbow with the markers and messing around with it in the effects on Picnik. I'm still not crazy about this. I don't like the yellow paper (it really was white), but whenever I tried to make it brighter, the picture became really grainy. So, whenever I'm unhappy with a shot and can't seem to process it the way my mind wants it to be, I run it through the Hypnotic effect and have a good laugh. There is one memory about rainbows that I do enjoy. It's a little song my mom, my sisters and I used to sing when I was growing up:
Red and yellow and pink and green,
Purple and orange and blue.
I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow,
You can sing one too.
Listen with your eyes, listen with your eyes,
And sing everything you see.
You can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow,
Sing along with me...
Red and yellow and pink and green,
Purple and orange and blue.
Now we can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow too.
I like this! It's so different from your usual photos - but not in a bad way! Or maybe it's just me reliving the 70's vibe. :)
I hope you had a good Christmas. I'm going to look at everyone's photos but not tonight - babysitting for Ava and Adam while Alex's parents take her out to celebrate her birthday (which is tomorrow) at dinner and a movie.
Really cool rainbow! I know what I want to do for mine, but have to go out in the evening to get it... I like yours, especially our favourite hypnotic effect!
@annaruth Thanks Anna! Glad you like it! @nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole! It's a bit whacky, but fun. @alia_801 Thanks Alia! lol When in doubt- use the Hypnotic effect!

I'm still not sold on it, but I think it's because what I really wanted to do didn't come out.
