Aaron Managhan - Color

This shot was of some rhodies at the Olympia campus of SPSCC. The pink one and purple one overlapped nicely as the bushes were fairly close, and the bee was just a bonus. Wished the bee had shown some more yellow. This was a fun one too because it really clearly displayed the differences between my white balance settings, which I hadn't played with prior to this class. Shot this at F/7.1, 1/1000th and 400 ISO. White balance for this one was on cloudy I believe.

Donna - Color

f5, 1/300s, ISO 100, 62mm - I'm surprised by how many colors are in this one flower. I like the color contrast.

Drew Rickman - Color/Flash

The top image is from a series of pictures I took using my flash compensation. I was trying to get a good shot with the room being completely dark and only using my flash to illuminate the subject. This particular shot turned out alright, but it still looks too white. I shot it at f/8.0, 1/200, iso 200, AWB, and flash compensation at -2.

The second image is my color image. I took numerous shots of various threads and ribbons around the house and I liked this one the most because it had some order to it compared to the other shots. This was shot at f/6.3, 1.6, iso 200, AWB.

Diana Flash and Color

My neighbor mowed his lawn and left this red poppy out all by itself. I used flash exposure compensation. The actual color of the poppy is deep red. Metadata, Nikon D100, 1/180 shutter, f6/7, manual priority, 50 mm , flash +1. More photos of poppy on blog.

Diana - Color Contrast

I liked the contrast between the yellow and red flowers. Metadata, Nikon D100, spot metering, ISO 320, manual priority, 1/60, F6.7, 105 mm, auto white balance.

Heather Olsen - Colors

I really liked how rich all of the colors were in this image and the different lines and patterns that the flowers and leaves made. I had a great time playing with the flash and using the fill flash. Shutter speed 1/160, f/4.5, ISO 800, Flash on -1, auto white balance, evaluative metering.

Zane - Flash and Color

MetadataL 26 mm, ISO 200, 1/400s, -2 Flash,  Vivid Color.  The fill flash caught the yellow centers of the blue flowers.  Still adjusting to working with flash - have some petal shadows.

Arwyn - Colors

I'm disappointed with how grey this picture turned out when it looked so vibrant in person and in my viewfinder...  I'm hoping it's simply because I'm using a monitor I haven't calibrated.  I really like the bright yellows against the dull gray and the blurred background - the flowers really pop against the muted colors. 

Canon Rebel XTi, f/5.6, ISO 100, flash -2, no white balance correction.

Color and Pattern - Linda

I chose this picture because I liked all the circular shapes - lights horn wheel wells and rain drops and the shadows and trueness of the colors. Needs to be straightened but then it would loose the vanity plate and the open door in the left back that suggests it's getting ready to roll.

1/80, f9.0, ISO 400, no flash, partial metering, 33mm.

Colors & Crop

Manual Mode: Shutter 1/60 @ f/5.6

ISO 100, EV -1, Metering Mode Spot, focal length 90 mm

I really liked how the flowers seemed to just stand out by themselves and the shapes. I didn't use any software editing programs other then to convert it to a JPEG. I used my new gray card to edit new white balance settings. I hadn't realized you needed to use manual mode!! It's the first time I had success usuing the manual mode. I liked the combination of the small f/stop and somewhat slower shutter speed with how it affected the depth of field. I was surprised how much of a difference there was in the hues and vibrance of the colors when using a custom preset white balance... !!

Same settings but wanted to add a photo with all the primary colors of red, blue, green (or at least close!)

Claire - Water Colors

I was fascinated by the different colors I could get in the water by playing with the polarizer; the day itself was pretty gray. This was taken on the ferry deck in front of the ferry. Taken at f/20; s 1/500, ISO 800 (too high); center weighted metering. White balance on auto; any change made it either red or blue.

Zane - Color

Metadata: ISO 400, Focal length 49 mm, 1/1000s, f/5.0, Vivid Color.  This is an exersise of repetitive shapes and color variation of each petal. The horizon line follows from deep shades on the left to lighter shades that were lit by the afternoon sun on the right. The deep tree green sets off the coral flower colors.  The deeply set light green circle in the background invites me to go into the woods.

Laurie - Color

There were tons of bees buzzing around my friend's flower beds, so I tried to capture them. I like the soft violet and green; it makes the yellow on the bee pop. I also like that the wings are translucent and we get a hint of color through them. There are a few other bee shots on my personal blog.

Shutter priority. Creative style: Vivid. SS 1/2000. f/5.6. FL 60mm. IS0 800 (It was fairly dark and gloomy that day.) Meter center weighted.

Color and Contrast - Chelsea

I love this image. I took it at a horse show in Spanaway. I love the lighting and contrast of this image as well as the complimentary blue/purple and orange/yellow tones. ISO 200, Shutter 1/400, F5.6, Focal Length: 200 mm
