Feeling Color Color was an afterthought in many of my early images. I photographed a woman who just so happened to be wearing a red shirt. I photographed a landscape that by chance had some yellow flowers in the foreground. I was looking at the people and the objects that were within my frame, but I wasn't really seeing what was happening with the light and, consequently, with the colors. Yes, I might have seen it and recognized it later, when I looked at the photographs onscreen or in a print, but I wasn't seeing it when it mattered most: the moment of exposure. As I continued to shoot, I realized that I was often responding to color. It was the color itself that was making me stop, raise my camera, and make the Canon 40D | ISO 100 | f/10 @ 1/200th Making the choice to follow the light provided me the opportunity to discover a photographic subject that I otherwise would've missed completely. 62 Chasing the Light: Improving Your Photography with Available Light
