Blue

I played around with the color accent setting on my little Canon point-and-shoot camera the other day.

Color accent allows you to select one color to highlight in a picture. For instance, I could use a red color accent on a bouquet of roses and only the actual blooms would be in color. The rest of the picture would be in black and white. This makes the roses themselves pop into rich, vibrant, red focus.

In my case the other day, I chose to accent the color blue.

Because Riley’s eyes are beautifully blue.

 

Riley tolerated this impromptu photo session for a lot longer than I thought he would. We took a break for a bottle and some playtime, and then we went outside. I took a few more “blue” pictures, this time with the addition of his blue jacket. The light wasn’t great since it was late afternoon, but I still got a few decent shots.

 

I’m liking this camera setting.

I’m liking it very much.

Postscript: If anyone out there wants to send me a Canon Rebel T1i or a Nikon D700, I would not turn either down.
