028: Red, Green & Blue

These acrylic paints are in the colours we would usually associate with the additive primary colours, but here they are displayed as subtractive ones. (Although only at the origin of the paint blobs - we see them now as a collection of RGB pixels.) The green doesn't look particularly bright, but it's just the pigment mixture in the paint.
The red doesn't look so neat because it was thicker than the others and took a bit of 'styling' to make it's blob look more like the other blobs. Now the edges look a bit wet, but at least it's the most blurred. The blue looks neatest, so that's good that it's in focus. It's got a nice gloss to it.
Shot at f/8, 1/180 sec. ISO 100, low power flash, 27mm extensions, also a slight crop and neatening.
