Color without Color – November 11

The first question I asked myself when I read this prompt was, “What is something that you could take the color out of, and people would still visualize it in color?” A few answers came to me quickly. The ocean, the sky, grass – but while I was making a mid-afternoon snack, the answer came to me. I stopped in my tracks and rushed to get my camera because the object most intertwined with its color is its own namesake – an orange. When I edited this photo in Adobe Photoshop, I felt iffy about it, as it looked slightly off to me. However, after toying with the black and white brightness tools, I finally found the balance I was looking for. When I focus on that orange, I can imagine the color seeping back into the photo, which is exactly how I wanted to answer this prompt.
