Here is a cool application that can extract color schemes from an existing photo.  Color Suckr. is a good tool for web designers and for those who want an easy way to get the colors from a favorite photograph or website.  FireFox add on is already available.  Check it out.  Real helpful and really handy!

How is it done:

  • Drag and drop the color results: You can move the color results around the page, click on the color strip, hold and drag, let go to drop. You can also show and hide the color text by clicking the small grey dot next to the strip.
  • Flickr pages: If you enter a Flickr photo page (e.g. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bitterlysweet/33358201/) in the ‘Enter image url’ box, ColorSuckr will find the main photo.
  • Web pages: If you enter a web page url (e.g. http://abduzeedo.com/) instead of an image, ColorSuckr will scan the page and show you the images on it & you can choose from there.
  • Use color photos: Yes, this sounds silly, but black and white images will only return a few shades of grey.
  • Bookmarklet: Drag and drop this link – Get image colors – into your bookmarks bar or save it to your favourites and make getting colors from web images easy. Next time you are on a webpage with images you’d like to get colors from – just click the bookmark. (Works on images larger than 50px x 50px)
  • Colors that are picked: ColorSuckr chooses the 12 most common colours from an image, so if your image is mostly blue with a splash of pink, chances are the pink won’t get picked up.
  • Install the Firefox add-on: Rather than messing about with copying and pasting urls, make it easier to grab colors from images by installing the add-on for Firefox.

Depends on your application. If you are doing wildlife and landscape for publication then primes are far superior.

For many portrait applications, journalism, snap-shots, and some sports then zooms are good.

Just check out the specs and curves at Canon and Nikon. You will see that a prime is far superior, image wise, to a zoom of a given focal length.
