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 🙂
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
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!
