Picture This!
Blue Moods
By Shutterbug Staff • May, 2005
Every color has an association, and each of us reacts to hues and their shadings
in different ways. This month’s Picture This! assignment was Blue Moods,
and readers sent us in an amazing set of images that conveyed the range of emotions
this most evocative color creates. While many relied on the cold side of this
color in winter scenes, others found their blue mood in the ocean, the sky,
and in the dim light of dusk and dawn. In all, we received so many great blue
mood scenes that we wish we could share them all. The pictures left us, like
that classic jazz album, Kind of Blue.

Blue Moon:
Stephan Donnelly wrote, “This is the first image I captured
during a four-day photo excursion to the Mendocino Coast of California.”
Not bad for a first shot, we’d say, and Donnelly worked
with a Canon EOS 10D and a Tamron AF 28-200mm zoom. Exposure was
f/11 at 30 seconds. He also wrote that there was no post-processing
color adjustment other than Levels and Unsharp Masking.

R. Klinowski made this shot using a Canon ELPH Jr. APS camera
on Fujicolor 100 APS film. His use of flash caught the glowing
snowflakes.

evocative image in Green Lakes State Park in Fayetteville, New
York. Exposure was f/8 at 1 second with a Canon 70-200mm zoom
lens. A Bogen 3021 pro tripod supplied the steadiness for the
long exposure.
