When I took my friend, Ali, on her first photo lesson with her new camera last night, I had no idea the Steemit color challenge existed.
We were at a local park for their beautiful gardens, and I was looking for an opportunity to give her an example of the rule of thirds. I looked to my right, and there was this beautiful surprise peeking out between the bushes of tiny, yellow flowers.
I snapped the photo, knowing it was a decent shot, and I was a little excited because I don't get a chance to shoot nature photography often these days.
I was perfectly content with it being a merely a great teaching moment, but to my surprise, I found a home for it on Steemit!
The Wednesday @colorchallenge popped up on my feed this morning, and today's (and every Wednesday's) color is yellow!
My submission was captured on my Canon EOS 6D with a Sigma EF 70-200mm f/2.8 lens.

Thanks for reading!
Love that you are teaching her composition techniques!
This one turned out to be an awesome rule of thirds.

She's a quick learner!
I told her last night that I didn't want to spend too much time on "art techniques" right now because she already has a decent eye and shoots with her heart. She's struggling learning manual settings, so I don't want to shove too much info at her at once.
The rule of thirds was such a game changer for me! I had to pass it along quickly! :)

Agreed! For me, the next was establishing depth of field via placement of objects near, midfield, and far.
That's something that really changes the photo for the viewer.
