From field to frame.

From a quickie setup in the yard to a pretty photo with a little PP work, It's been a good day so far.

Small things amaze small minds

You've demonstrated your knowledge of the relationship between shutter speed , apeture and ISO , as well as your ability to think on your feet regarding the focus solution.That puts you ahead of a lot of amateurs.
Keep shooting !

Light is additive. Pigments are subtractive.

Pigments remove or subtract all colors but the one they reflect. Adding red, blue and green pigments means that substances will be present to absorb all primary colors and the result will be close to blace, depending on the ratios of pigments present. Adding red, blue and green light means all frequencies are present and will appear nearly white.

Thank you very much Bill for taking the time to add your detailed explanation, While I am still digesting it, the above paragraph was very enLIGHTening.

Thanks again. :thumbup: :thumbup:

When I was a kid, we had our science classes at the local Fairbanks museum. In the basement they had a dozen or so scientific hands on experiments. One was a flat, round metal disc about a foot in diameter mounted on the shaft of an electric motor. This plate was painted all the colors of the rainbow plus black equally in pie slice shapes. When you turned the motor on and spun the disc, all you could see was white!

Hooray for you Qrpnut !
How can any one dispute that ?
Would love to find the video on Utube.

How interesting that they included a slice of black.

kickin around with a raynox 250

You are doing very well with that lens.
Makes me want to dust off mine and get back to it.
Your right about working well on a bridge camera,
I used to use it on on my trusty Panasonic FZ30.

Eagle at Sunrise Service

I am still recovering from the shattered expectations that your title seemed to promise.
Hope your ribs are recovering also. :?

Belive it or not a dandelion

I have always liked the bright yellow Dandy Lion.
The best thing about them is you don't have to plant or nurture them. :D

As a Grand Finale to this topic, let me quote from the Wikipedia definition of Primary Colors.

*************************************

"The combination of any two primary colors creates a secondary color.The most commonly used additive color primaries are the secondary colors of the most commonly used subtractive color primaries, and vice versa."

Got it ? :-P

Peace.
