March 31: Day 83

I focused on the color green today because I enjoy participating in the Pioneer Woman's Photography Assignments and the current assignment is Green. I really wish I had a macro lens because I could have taken some super cool wet leaves photos today. My current lens selection makes getting those super cool shots kind of difficult because they just won't let me get any closer then a few feet to get a focused shot. Boo. Perhaps I need to try my ghetto macro technique again.

Photo Stats:
Exposure: 1/640 sec
Aperture: f/1.8

ISO: 100

I thought I'd give an easy and low cost photography tip that works great for still life shots like the pears. To avoid the heavy shadow on the pear's left sides I held up a sheet of white paper to act as a reflector and help lighten the shadows. The photos below are completely unedited to show you the difference a plain piece of paper can make.

See the difference in the shadows?
