04 Jul 07 - Hello everyone. Please take a moment to scroll down and check out a few examples of the type of picture we are looking for. The pool was cleaned out recently, and if your photo was one of the ones nuked, don't be offended, it wasn't done with malice. The rules here a quite specific, and fairly easy to follow. If you have any questions, feel free to start a thread about it, and the modmins will try to answer any questions you might have.

Cheers,
-Seetwist

About Blue Sky Dichromatic

Blue Sky Dichromatic. Get yours at bighugelabs.com/flickr

Blue sky meets another color. Pictures of boxcars, trailers, buildings, shipping containers, skyscrapers, boats, garages or any other single color object placed against a blue sky.

The rules for this group are quite simple:

1) There should be two portions to the picture. The blue sky, and the object you are photographing. Try to limit the amount of foreground as much as possible.

2) No People.

3) Have fun with it! Use color-swap, saturation, negative hues, color blends, night time shots, strange angles, even black and white photos. Just be sure to show a single color object against a single color sky. Be as inventive as you want.

If anyone has any questions about what they think may or may not be appropriate, feel free to post a message or send me an email. Don't get too offended if I remove the picture from the pool. =) I originally started this group while strictly photographing train boxcars and truck trailers, and I even bent the rules a bit for some of my shots (more than 2 colors), but there are many different styles of photograph that will work here.

Enjoy the group, and have fun!
