Natural Color


The most beautiful natural colors are in the morning just before sunrise. Clouds are a good thing because they produce some extremely vivid colors when the sunlight hits them at this angle. This was taken before I left for work in the morning. I had my camera on me and as Carrie and I walked outside to go to work I said, "Honey, I think I am going to be a little late for work today"... It's too bad that most people are asleep during the most colorful part of the day. There is no artificial color in the picture. The only thing I did was slightly bump up the contrast afterwards to make it look like it should have, because I didn't have my camera set on the right setting at the time. Which I found out later :(. This was taken with a Nikon D200, 80mm, 1/40 sec, F/5.6, at -2/3 Step.

Oh man, when I first saw that picture I thought it was at 80mm, 1/40 sec, -2/3 step, but at F/5.7 instead of 5.6! What a hilarious misunderstanding!
