Pics taken with early birthday present.
Comments (12)Thank you all once again for kind thoughts and encouragement. saintpfla ~ Dabbling in photography is fun that is for sure. I've taken a few night shots too with old camera and look forward to trying it with this one. The macro with this camera is 150 cm (W) (0.4 in.Â1.6 ft. (W)). I was right down on the flowers. There is a lot to read in these manuals, I just plod along and practice. It's a learning experience and a fun one at that. treefrog ~ I've also tried to capture the color of the blue sage with old camera and never could. There are a couple of roses I had the same trouble with, so I hope they come out truer with this new camera as the blue sage did. Evelyn ~ You are so right about picture taking being addicting, almost as addicting as some flowers are. : -) Ambersky ~ I looked up what you thought the purple unknown might be and I'm not sure. Someone else told me something else and that didn't quite look right either. I'll try to get out tomorrow to take a picture of leaves and flowers so you all can see the whole thing. You could be right though. Nancy ~ It is a long time isn't it? I think of you everytime I'm around the two roses you gave me, Smith's Parrish, and I think the name of the other one is Old Blush, which is in the main garden and doing terrific. Thank you again for giving them to me. It was nice meeting you also and having a little visit at 2Jay's. I've worked at my job yesterday and again today, so haven't been out to take more pictures. I'm off tomorrow so maybe I can get out to shoot some more then. Thanks again for encouraging me to get out and take more pictures. I always enjoy seeing everyone's beautiful gardens and flowers. I get inspired to get out and work in my tropical/cottage gardens. FlowerLady...See MorePlant photography
Comments (3)Reproducing colors exactly from a plant to a digital camera and then to print is very difficult for many reasons. The time of day, the season that the photo is taken (spring vs summer vs fall) the light is reflected and absorbed in the garden and then backlit on the computer and reproduced in print and then interpreted by the eye. Lots of places it is changed although very slightly. Also the calibration of your monitor also affects the final color. It can appear perfect on your computer and still be off to the printers computer. Matching to paint samples will help as will your photo editor. If you are using a PC, I would suggest using Zoner editing software. It is much easier to use than Photoshop and is the most popular editor in Europe - but does not work on Macs. Like Photoshop, there is are temperature and vivid sliders to help get it correct but it takes time. Also taking the photos in shade - not full sun - will help the purples and blues. They are very difficult to render correctly! It is a matter of how the reds are recorded on digital media. To add to the confusion, the color that I call purple, may be magenta to the next person. I am a professional photographer, and painted for years and found that most color names are just approximations of the mix of primaries, red, green and yellow.

Comments (20)LOL! I got my first little Brownie box camera when I was 11. I played with B/W film all during junior high. In high school, I worked on the yearbook and school newspaper--we did only B/W, but all our own processing and developing. Lots of experimenting and talking to other photographers...some workshops. Got the job as a photographer/darkroom tech at the college I went to...met my husband in the darkroom. GRIN (Yep, we've heard ALL the jokes.) By that time, my dad saw the potential of photography. He'd always wanted to own his own business, so he apprenticed with a local pro, then went into business. So...I was a photographer first, but he made it a business while I was in college. After college, and marrying my guy...someone from our church asked us to do some wedding photos...her maid of honor asked and so on...before long I was 24 and doing 50 weddings a summer. Whew. We joined local, regional, and national professional photographer organizations. LOTS of great educational opportunities there...I studied and learned and studied some more. Yes, I learned a lot about lighting. Photography IS lighting...then composition and feeling. It was a fun career. I closed my studio in my early 40's when we had an opportunity to move overseas for a while. By the time we came back, digital photography had swept in...I've learned just enough to do family photos for us. I keep my hand in doing portraits for a few select past clients from time to time. Remember...it isn't the camera, it's the person behind the camera who creates the art. Cameras can make it easier...but the artsy stuff comes from within you. Enjoy it!...See Morephotography skills in kids!
Comments (4)Konrad's suggestion will help insure decent exposures, but I'm not sure any skill is involved. :-) Here are a few things you can tell them: 1. Move in closer. You don't want to get so close that the flash washes out the faces, so if the camera has a zoom feature, use it. Try to avoid long shots where the subject is lost in the middle of everything else. 2. Watch your backgrounds. This is hard to do at a party, where the background is likely to be filled with other people. But they can make sure a post (or plant) isn't sticking out of someone's head, for example. 3. If the party is during the day, be careful shooting near windows. If the subject is standing in front of a window, the camera will probably read the window light and badly underexpose the subject. You can try focusing on the subject's knees (assuming the knees are below the window), and, continuing to hold the shutter down halfway, bring the camera up to where you want it and then take the picture. 4. Stand still. Kids tend to move around a lot. This is fine as long as they're not trying to take a picture....See MoreRelated Professionals
