Holi festival at peak: a dense crowd erupting in clouds of powdered colour, magenta, turquoise, saffron and lime pigment hanging thick in the air and coating everyone, hands thrown up mid-throw, powder trails frozen in arcs, faces caught laughing and covered head to toe. Backlit so the pigment clouds glow. Chaotic, joyous, maximum saturation

Paint explosion in mid-air: a dozen ribbons of thick glossy paint in electric magenta, cyan, yellow and orange bursting outward from a central point against pure black, each ribbon curling and throwing off droplets, the liquid catching hard studio light with wet highlights. Ultra sharp, hyper-saturated

An old fashioned candy shop wall: floor to ceiling glass jars packed with sweets in every colour, striped lollipops fanned in buckets, gumballs in a spiral dispenser, jelly beans sorted by hue into a continuous rainbow gradient across the shelves. Warm shop lights bouncing off glass. Overwhelming abundance

Aurora borealis at full intensity: enormous curtains of green and magenta light rippling across the whole sky, the lower edges fringed pink, the folds reaching down toward snow-covered pines, the snow itself tinted green by the reflected glow. A frozen lake mirroring the entire display

A butterfly conservatory at midday: thousands of butterflies in blue morpho, monarch orange and lime swallowtail filling the air at every distance, some blurred in flight, some sharp on huge tropical leaves, shafts of sunlight through the glass roof lighting their wings from behind so they read as stained glass

Hundreds of hot air balloons packed densely at close range in bright clear morning sunlight, NOT hazy, NOT misty. Balloons fill the entire frame at every scale, each in bold saturated stripes, chevrons, polka dots and rainbow gores. Burners flaring bright orange inside the nearest envelopes. Vivid blue sky, riotous colour, high saturation

A monumental blown glass chandelier: hundreds of hand-blown glass tendrils in amber, cobalt, emerald and ruby spiralling outward from a central mass, suspended in a white atrium and lit from within, the coloured light throwing patches across the ceiling and floor

A packed retro arcade at peak hour, crowded with people playing: every cabinet lit and running, CRT screens blazing, magenta cyan and violet neon covering the ceiling and walls, prize crane machines glowing from inside, reflections doubling everything in the glossy black floor, players silhouetted against the glare. Extremely dense, saturated to the limit

A desert music festival at night from the crowd: a colossal stage exploding with beams of magenta, cyan and gold light cutting through haze, lasers fanning over tens of thousands of raised hands, confetti cannons firing overhead, flame jets at the stage edge
