Anne wants me to show how color affects my photography. After studying basic, and intermediate photography I took an eye-opening class in color photography with Patti Felkner at Cosumnes River Community College. After understanding light, composition, and focus points, I learned to focus on color as my subject.
RGB complementary color scheme is Red/Cyan, Green/Magenta, and Blue/Yellow



There is something calming in this monochrome image.


Some more examples of monochrome photographs






Often I will look for just a splash of color in my photography.

A splash of color makes for interesting photographs. Don’t you agree?

Some more examples of how just a splash of color catches the eye.








Photographing my dog I learned that I needed both an understanding of light, dog behavior, and color.

So after looking over my many images, I look for either monochrome images or those with just a splash in the right place.
Wonderful post Marlene!

This is a beautiful display of marvelous colors Marlene. They’re all lovely but I had several favorites. It seems I’m drawn to your monochrome images especially. I loved the alpaca (had no idea what it was until I saw your description!), the yellow and orange building and your dragonfly. Terrific response for the week.
