Experimenting with camera settings~ ORANGE

I've had my camera for a year and a half now. This is a HUGE feat since my track record before this camera was about one a year. I'm tough on my cameras- I admit it. That's one reason I haven't delved into the SLR level even though I drool every time I see pictures taken with one (you should have seen me when I actually got to shoot with one a couple months ago- I'm so proud of my will power to not buy it right there!) I still find it hard to believe that we bought our first digital camera right before the girls were born! Crazy when you think about it- before 5 years ago all my pictures are from negatives! But- I digress.

I have several features on my point and shoot camera that I am still getting familiar with (who has time to read the manual with triplets and other great books/magazines to read in the house?) But one feature I've really been working with lately is the COLOR ACCENT feature.

Take a look.....

Pretty neat huh? These are not photoshopped or edited in anyway! With a few adjustments on the camera settings I got these great snow cone pictures in black and white with only the orange accented!

These were taken at our fertility doctor's annual reunion party last month. I'll post more pictures from the party soon (the girls got to ride horses) but for now- I'll leave you with more color accent!

I love this picture- you can see the juice running out of the cup (and onto my pants unfortunately! LOL)
