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.
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. 
This is such a great idea… and for those who are considering purchasing a DSLR, this will prove to be very helpful too!
I’m in! I have a Canon Rebel. At one point in time, I’d read most of the manual concurrently with a digital photography book. (yeah, I’m nerdy like that) I found it only helps to know where to change the setting if you know the affect will be on your photo. I can’t wait to brush up and learn some new tricks!! Great idea!
This is a great topic! The flash is so frustrating. Do you want people to share about equipment and hacks that have to do with the flash? I have found that various ways of diffusing/bouncing the flash has the biggest impact on my photos.
As far as your food photos go, have you considered constructing a light box out of white foam core and a couple clip lights? It would allow you to take your photos even at night but still feel bright and cheery! Just an idea. 🙂
Amy – feel free to post about whatever you want. The point is to share what you’ve learned about how to make the flash work for you. I’d love to hear what you do when you use your flash.
I have considered a light box. I had one on my Xmas list 🙂 I’m just worried about storing it in our tiny condo. For now, I just wait for daylight but I would like a light box in the future.
Totally understanding the lightbox storage concerns. I’m thinking that I’m going to get some white foam core from the store today and play with making one that breaks down easily into a flat stack. I’ll post my experiment. 🙂
Yea Steph said she was going to make on today. This is the one I had on my Xmas list. I still might get it since it folds up.
Ok, I made a collapsible version of the light box today with your situation in mind. 🙂 Can’t beat that nylon one you’re looking at, but for $6 this one does a pretty good job! Thanks for the challenge! Here’s the light box.
Thanks for the heads up, Jen! This is JUST the kind of help I’ve been looking for when it comes to taking pictures. Great idea for Foto Friday! I’m really excited. 🙂
