Great idea with a color theme but purple is a tough one! Moreover, I suck at color identification but hopefully, there is something purple about the skull in the foreground :) I took this shot at the Dia de los Muertes celebration in Mexico.

Electrification
Lightning is usually produced by cumulonimbus clouds. The stronger the updraft the more powerful the lightning. There are about 1.4 billion lightning flashes on earth each year at a frequency of about 40 to 50 per second. This highly charged image was captured on film in Sedona Arizona USA, using a Pentax 6x7 medium format camera.

Wow what a great capture. I recently took my first lighting pictures and only got a few bolts. This is awesome.

This is a tricky endeavor and the best results come from having the right conditions and being ready because it happens quick. It's also a big thrill and you don't know what your going to get, sometimes it's a big surprise. Thanks and good luck!

The wonderful truth is that this really was shot in Merlin's Wood. :)

Great, and I checked out your post and started following you. Looking forward to seeing more of your photography!

Doing the same back at you. I havn't been here on steemit very long, and at first I was disappointed with the photography in #photography, but these contest are bringing out the better quality and enables me to find the right folks to follow.

"The Wizard's Magic" by @richee is brilliant and "Electrification" by @irvinesimages is absolutely stunning!
I don't have anything so powerful but I'll enter for the fun of the game :)
So this is a little purple anemone, native plant in Crete that I always love to see on the fields!

If I were forced to chose a favorite color than a dark shade of PURPLE would probably be the very one indeed...!...

Endangered species


To continue "Endangered Species" series, but this time definitely the view from some another planet.
Perfect purple skies and some unknown kind of species with a bit of long exposure here :)

Enjoy the scenery!

great idea to use a color as a theme. A water Lilly in a small pond in Australia.

One of the coldest shots I have ever taken. Looking across frozen prayer flags to the 'Dried Lake' (5297m/17319 ft) and beyond towards Changtse (7553m/24780 ft) in Tibet. You can see the Khumbu Icefall making its way down to the right of the photo with Everest just off frame to the right. The photo was taken from the pre- dawn summit of Kala Pattar (5545m/18192ft) after climbing up with headtorch. I had spent a week over 5000m or 16400 ft at this stage. You have half the oxygen at 5000m as you do at sea level and it starts to take its toll on your body.

Its a long exposure that I took on Fuji Velvia slide film. I have left the characteristic purple cast that was a trait of Velvia when you did a long exposure during blue hour. I am sure anyone who shot with it will remember the colour cast on anything over about 20 seconds. It reminds me of a quieter era of photography when sharing photos socially involved a few quiet drinks and a slide night!

I wanted to get out there and shoot so I took pictures yesterday (October 3, 2018) at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona.

For this competition I selected this picture to show off this desert plant--- Prickly Pear.
The fruit can be made into jam, jelly, sorbet, wine or prickly Pear Candy!
