Happy July, everyone!  Where is time going?  Thanks to my country cousin, Country Cinderella, for a tip about Art Fire.  It's another place to sell handmade creations.  I got my shop up and running last night, but it needs a bit of refining.  I have to get a banner and correct a couple of typos.  I was tired last night.  I'll let you know how it goes.

I was doing some more experimenting with white balance settings last night.  This is what happens when you have your camera set on auto or whatever to take a normal shot, then change the white balance to tungsten.  Amazing!  This is a wine red day lily.

This one isn't in focus, but I love the color.

I had stayed out late last night waiting for the sunset, then I got so preoccupied with white balance shots, that I almost missed it!  This one would be better if I lightened up the foreground a little bit. 

I think I know what I am going to post for this week's Photo Quest, but first I need to go fix my Art Fire shop. 

Here's my first White Balance series.  All were taken with the portrait setting in macro mode.  I changed the White Balance on each one in this order from left to right:  Auto, Day Light, Cloudy, Tungsten, Flourescent, Flourescent H, Underwater, and Custom.  It is hard to tell any difference in the first three.  The pinks are more vivid in the last one.  It was foggy this morning with lots of natural light. 

I walked from my porch to my garden for the second series of my potato patch.  These were taken with the landscape setting in normal mode.  I took them all from exactly the same place.  The only change is the White Balance which I changed the same way I did for the first series. 

In this series, I do think the third one with the white balance adjusted for cloudy skies is a little bit better. 

This was a fun Photo Quest, and I also learned how to batch edit.  Yeah!
