Color Week – Green

This is the first week of my new schedule. I’m going to start working from home on Thursdays. This allows me to have some more freedom and flexibility around my work day. I sat at the computer in my jammies until about noon. Then hubby came home for lunch (he had a dentist appt so he was in the neighborhood). Then I went back to working. Around 2 I went out to the Farmers Market, to take some green pictures, and grab some things to make for dinner. Sure, I had to work a little later to make up for my hour and a half break, but its worth it in the end.

So here are my green pictures. Enjoy. Be sure to check out all of my Color Week photos on my Flickr set.


This fence is along Harvard Ave on the back side of our building. It’s a very tree-filled street.


Took this picture at the Farmer’s Market. They had some great veggies. I picked up some ground turkey and some goat cheese (some smoked and some chocolate). I know, chocolate! I don’t know what I’m going to do with it. Any suggestions are welcome.


Saw these flowers while walking home from the Farmers Market.

    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!
