Color Week – Blue

The last day of color week is upon us. Today is blue day. I was so excited to take some blue pictures today. Unfortunately, it rained again today in Boston. There’s one picture in particular that I think will work for another photo week… I’m not a huge fan of using the flash. I much prefer using natural light but since it was dark and rainy and I was stuck inside, I had to use my flash. Again, I’m pretty new to photography so I appreciate any feedback.

I had SO MUCH fun doing color week. I can’t wait for Steph to announce the next photo week (starts on Monday). Check out all my color week photos (including some that weren’t posted here) on my Flickr set.


This is a vase that none other than Steph (co-creator of color week) gave us. Love it. It’s in our blue bathroom on a shelf next to a picture of me and my sisters.


This is looking directly down into the vase. It’s very tall and great for daisies (which I love!)


My sister gave Hubby this Rubix cube for Christmas. We love Rubix cubes. When we first started dating we learned how to do one and we’d race. Hubby could do it under a minute. As you can see this one is a 4×4 so it’s much harder. Hubby hasn’t solved it yet, but he did make a blue face for me to use in this picture. What a sweetie 🙂

    Love the action shots! I can’t believe that your KA was spinning when you took the picture. It totally looks stationary. Man, I have camera envy right now!

    Great set, lots of variety! The drinking fountain is beautiful. And Roxy is such a diva! Is your camera a Canon? That’s what I have. You might want to mess around in the “Tv” manual setting to play with shutter speeds…you’ll be able to get some action with your mixer that way. Nice work!

    Steph – it’s a Nikon D40. I definitely need to read the manual to play with the setting more as far as shutter speed goes.

    CB – I know. I kept taking pictures hoping that one would show it in motion. I should have taken it out of child mode and used something else to show a little blur of action. Maybe I’ll try again this weekend.
