Complementary Colors
This is my submission for the complementary colors challenge. For this challenge we had capture a photo that celebrates complementary colors as their subject. In other words, capture a photo that's predominantly orange/blue, red/green, purple/yellow, or really, any two colors that sit opposite one another on the color wheel (sometimes called the color circle).
I spent some time vacationing in Miami this weekend, and was carrying my iPhone with a screenshot of the color wheel as a reference...After one or two pictures in the airport... we grabbed some beers and went to the beach, and I kinda totally forgot about the shooting challenge. Good times!
This morning I asked my parents for suggestions before I headed to the airport (I was staying over with them), and my mom had this idea of using yarn and thread to find complementary colors. The idea took a life on its own and we ended up using all of the combinations we had for our own version of the color wheel with thread...
And here it is!
