I can think of at least four different interpretations of "blue" or "blues", but I hope - even as a newbie - that I can insist that one of those is NOT used. You know the one.. a heavily moustached plumber arrives at the home of a young housewife who doesn't seem to be wearing very much, possibly because her washing machine has broken down. (Or so I'm told. I've never watched such things myself. :LOL: )
 
o_O I don't think I have a shot of someone depressed, but could put a blue cast on one of my shots :(

Come on Brian, think laterally or literally, somewhere amongst the 1000's of shots you've taken over the years you must have something that's coloured blue, looks blue or maybe even just looks a tad unhappy that might pass as blue, or some fat bloke in an overtight Chelsea shirt in the background of one your shots, maybe one of your kids/grandkids giving you an unhappy look because you're pointing that damn camera at them again, somebody that's just come out of the north sea in the British summer, a shot of a rainbow that shows the bit between indigo and green really well, a blue moon, a blue tit.

There must be one, surely?

Well Nick I do have some accidental shots that came out blue or the person accidentally looks depressed or guilty of something, but very few that show any skill in taking the shot .and I've already posted them so a yawn...but found one that no one has seen before and am posting it up. (y)
 
Mmm, as is often the case colour is posing a different set of problems for me.... I think I have one, if it isn't blue can someone let me know please. (y)

It looks blue to me and i'm colour blind as well, whether what you see as blue and what I see as blue are the same is something we can never know but it looks good to me (y)

This could be quite an education for me, please do go on:).

Well, there'll be a very muddy audio soundtrack, but behind the almost treble-free pseudo funk you can hear the "housewife" say something like "Ooh, have you come to give me a service?" The "plumber" then leers at her and, without even a trace of a hint of a minimum acting ability, mumbles "Yeah sure ma'am. Er, where do you want me to start, huh?"

Should I continue? (I had to do a lot of research... :LOL:)
 
OK Chrisphoter I think I can see where this may be heading and whilst I appreciate the research you have done so far I do not think a simple fella like me can cope with what I see coming. I think it best to leave it there, many thanks.

I have always considered myself quite broad minded but a menage et trois, funny how these things are referred to in French, between a Housewife, a plumber and a washing machine is too much for this simple lad.

I am away to take my medication now.....must get my prescription for Macallans filled at the off-license
