Welcome Egidio! I absolutely love your choice of Warm Colors as your first challenge because I enjoy the warm tones over the cool tones. So, let’s get started with my examples.

Up first are zoo animals. the giraffe and orangutan are my favorites. They are so expressive. The orangutans are playful, and the giraffes make such funny faces.

My next image is of a squawking cormorant with his yellow beak wide open. I wonder what he’s saying!

I enjoy photographing covered bridges. This one was recently redone. Its shingles are warm colored, blending in with the natural surroundings.

Cool in temperature, but warm in color are the Luray Caverns in Virginia.

You never know what you’ll find when you’re driving down a country road! But you know in October you’ll find pumpkins.

Finally, who says warm colors can’t be photographed at night. This image taken in Old Sacramento has warm written all over it.

Thank you Egidio for challenging us with warm colors during Sacramento’s damp, overcast and rainy weather. When you post your response to this challenge, please remember to link your post to Egidio’s and use the Lens-Artists tag. I enjoyed seeing your days and nights last week, especially the comparisons. Next week I will be challenging you, so stay tuned.

  1. Anne, it’s hard to pick a favorite is this majestic gallery. I loved the animals and how expressive they were! Then, you gave us that beautiful covered bridge. What a novel idea to repaint it to blend in with its surroundings. I also want more of the Luray Caverns. The closing photos are vibrant and full of warmth and life. Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos.

  2. Beautiful gallery, Anne. Just gorgeous! I love the predominantly brown colors in your post. It’s a color that is overlooked (at least in my case), but you’ve beautifully shown how warm that color can be in animals, in nature, in architecture….You are a terrific animal photographer, Anne. You do it so well. Their expressions are priceless. :)

  3. A lovely collection. I’m a big fan of zoo photography too. I found that a great learning ground for so many things, especially getting the DOF right.

  5. Great selections Anne. I always love it when you bring us the animals. Love the expression you captured with all of them. And the caverns, that is all reflection, isn’t it. Amazing shot. And a good call on the pumpkins. Always a pleasure.
