My 1st Color Challenge Entry - An Unexpected Surprise x2! - Wednesday: Yellow

in colorchallenge •  7 years ago  (edited)

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.

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.

Welcome. You took first prize by your Image it just amazing.

That's kind of you, @angelshare, thank you!
