Color Week – Orange

Tuesday is orange day. Sorry for everyone who was looking for a baking post. This blog is becoming multi-purpose. I just don’t think I could maintain multiple blogs. So this is going to be my cooking / baking / photography / kitchen renovations blog. Hope you enjoy the change in pace.

Today, the world was against me and color week. We got home late from work and it’s rainy and nasty out. So I couldn’t make it outside to take pictures. So I’m cheating for color week today. I took these pictures yesterday while I was out finding red things to take pictures of… Sorry for breaking the rules.


This is the a church down the street from us. We have quite a few churches in our neighborhood.


This is an orange house right near our place. It’s actually a huge house that is used as a daycare. It’s right across the street from a cute little park. I love all the brightly colored houses in our neighborhood.

Hopefully I can be a better color week-er tomorrow and get out and take some yellow pictures after work.

    What a great post! So informative! I have a Nikon D40x but have still not read the entire manual! I will try this this week as many of my pictures are taken at nighttime too.

    This is an awesome installment. I have the D60 and am still learning by playing with it. Excellent tutorial, thanks so much!

    Great info! Unfortunately my Canon doesn’t have a flash adjustment, but tomorrow I’m going to post about the world’s cheapest diffuser I made for it… can’t wait for the next topic! 🙂

    I am clearly almost 7 months late commenting on this post but I just came across it 🙂 I wanted to share a little trick with you. (My photographer friend shared it with me) All you need is your camera and a white paper plate. Just cup the paper plate right in front of the pop up flash (which should be popped up obviously)and take the picture. The paper plate bounces the light up and off the ceiling preventing the horrible washout of items in the front and darkening of items in the back. I also find that setting up a white piece of poster board right behind the object and then using this little bounce trick really helps. Happy picture taking!
