Capture the Colour – Travel Photo Competition
We were recently contacted by the good the people at TravelSupermarket.com to participate in a new travel photo competition that’s circulating the travel blog community. Every once in a while we like to participate in blogger meme’s, like our travels from A to Z and 7 Super Shots, so we thought it would be fun to jump on the “Capture the Colour” bandwagon.
This one is pretty simple too.
To enter, bloggers simply publish a post that showcases 5 photos that “Capture the Colour”, as we’ve done below. The best part about this campaign is that bloggers also have the chance to win an iPad3 and up to 2,000 GBP (that’s over $3,000 CDN). Not a bad prize for sharing a few photos!
The five blogger judges are all great travel photographers that we’ve been following for a long time, so we have complete confidence they’ll select a deserving winner. To learn more and find out what each of the judges are looking for, visit Capture the Colour at Travel Supermarket.com.
Here are our travel photo submissions…
BLUE - Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, Alberta
Now THAT is Canadian outdoors at its finest!
GREEN – Rano Raraku on Easter Island
Without question, the most peculiar and unusual place we’ve ever visited.
YELLOW - Dancing at a sunset party in Rajasthan, India
We love how the young girl is spinning in this photo. It was a fun and memorable evening.
WHITE - Jaswant Thada Mausoleum in Jodhpur, India
We captured this photo of the “White Palace” from the gates of Mehrangarh Fort.
RED – Hiroshima Carp baseball fans in Yokohama, Japan
So much for home team advantage – these visiting fans were passionate!
Now the fun part. As part of the campaign, we must nominate 5 more travel bloggers to participate.
Here are our nominations…
- Mark from Migrationology.com
- Earl from WanderingEarl.com
- Matt from Landlopers.com
- Beth and Randy from BeersAndBeans.com
- Samuel from NomadicSamuel.com
Tag! You’re it!

Definitely some of the best pictures I’ve seen for the competition. You’re setting the bar here!
I do appreciate the kind words Vicky!
Thanks for stopping by
I am loving this competition – beautiful colour shots! I’m liking what I see for yellow. Makes me miss Rajasthan.
Thanks Kieu!
I had a bunch of “yellow” photos, so it was a difficult choice.
I think I picked wisely, but you never know until you put it our there
Gorgeous shots. I can’t believe how blue Lake Moraine is. Seems other worldly!
It really is – we couldn’t believe it either when we first laid eyes on it. It’s stunning!
I love these shots! Thanks for the nomination
Time for me to get cracking on it.
Get on it Sam!
I am amazed by the blue color of water and the beautiful surroundings. Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate the kind words Tushar!
I like Blue, that lake really is an amazing shade of color. Is that because it is shallow?
The vibrant blue colour is actually from minerals found in the area. The glacier run off collects minerals from the mountains, ultimately flowing into the lake. It’s quite remarkable.
hey you guys these are great! I can see I am up to some stiff competition here!
I really love the green one. 
Thanks Beth!
We’re looking forward to seeing your photos
Sometimes I forget how beautiful colors can be, until I stop to actually notice them. Great set of photos and thanks for the nomination!
Glad you like the photos Mark. We look forward to seeing yours too!
Something tells me we’re going to get some delicious food pics!
I love your Rajasthan sunset party photo above….and thank you for the nomination!
Thanks Earl! And you’re very welcome
LOVE these!
and…
GO CARPS!
Thanks Erica!
The photos are so amazing. They are capture perfectly. The first photo really amaze me a lot the water is really blue. It is really hard to see clear and prestine water and this place is very clean.
Thanks Vanessa. The blue water at Lake Moraine is really unique. We have yet to find another place like it!
I loved all of these photos. I agree with Vicky– you are setting the bar high for this competition! I like the way you interpreted the colors and showed something special about the actual places.
Thanks Jenna. We had a hard time choosing, but we think we choose wisely
I like your green photo the best. I’m quite enjoying this group of posts around the community. I like the starkness of the colors. Green is the one I am struggling the most with for entry.
Thanks Andrew! I’m glad you like the photos. It’s been fun seeing how others have interpreted the colour competition
Love the photos! I knew you would throw a miniature in there!
Of all the Capture the Colour ones I’ve seen, this is one where it’s difficult to find my favorite. I love the red for the baseball but all the photos are great. The Banff one is great as well. I guess I will vote for Banff
You know it!
Thanks for the kind words amigo!
Quality! I don’t think there could’ve been a more appropriate use of the tilt-shift function that on that Easter Island shot. Giant stones made tiny. Well done you guys.
Love, love, love the shot of Moraine Lake! I go there every other summer just to take a nice hike, but I’ve never taken a canoe out on it before. May have to rectify that this summer! Beautiful shots in all, but that one of Moraine Lake is spectacular!
Absolutely loved your entries, especially the first two. Such bright colors. And Rajasthan being a state of so many colors, no wonder you 2 of your shots are from there.
The photos are so stunning. These photos are perfect for the color photo competition. The photographer captures the panoramic views perfectly.
Your yellow photo is just super! Love it!!!! Looks like you’re both having a lot of fun.
I love the green one from Easter Island. Makes the place look so magical!
These photos are so colorful and these photos are perfect for this competition. They captured the right angle for us can appreciate these awesome photos.
I will visit this Rano Raraku on Easter Island next year so I am so excited already.
I like the Green one most. What lens did you use? Looks like tilt shift.
