blue by summerfield

blue

primary colours completed!

did this fall on to my lap? no, he just walked into my frame.

went out at lunch in -8 weather with quite a strong wind. nothing interesting around this perimeter near the office, yet you have to learn to be creative with the ho-hum, you know. the plan was to walk down to the street where a lot of motorcycles are parked. i've seen yellows and reds and even pink motorcycles around there so surely there would be a blue. there's lots of blues around but i didn't want signs which are so obvious. i wanted something more random.

nearing the corner of yonge and wellington, i thought the flatiron mural made for a nice contrast between the two posts so i stopped walking and focused. lots of people walking. then just as i was about to press the shutter, boom! young lad wearing blue toque walked into my frame, and stopped right there in the middle. that is what i call random opportunity.

thank you for your kind visits and comments; they are greatly appreciated.
I am loving this great series, lady. You got such great vibrant primary colors. Perfect blue and great cool shot!

What an obliging model. Sometimes I wonder if your random
Picture will ever hit his awareness.

@summerfield Not a dare, but perhaps an "unofficial" get-pushed push.
