2. M&M: 9/17/2010; 12:39:38 PM; back porch; f/5.6; 1/250 sec; sony a330; no flash
3.Sunflower Sunset: 9/17/2010; 7:25:56 PM; front of University Village; f/22; 1/80 sec; sony a330; flash
4.Straw Stacks: 9/19/2010; 6:35:02 PM; road to Sugar City; f/22; 1/60 sec; sony a330; no flash
5.Tractors: 9/18/2010; 7:11:23 PM; campus construction zone; f/20; 1/10 sec; sony a330; no flash

I really enjoyed searching for yellow. The "Bee flower" and "Tractors" have no editing. The other three have slight alterations of saturation, brightness, contrast or a little color. I tried to take most of the pictures during the best hours of lighting in the evening. As for the bee, there are these annoying bushes out our front door that attract tons of bees. I was so excited I caught one landing. For the M&M picture my son kept eating the M&Ms before I could take a picture! It took a little work...and a handful of yellow M&Ms. He enjoyed it.

    You found color in Idaho, and it looks great! I especially love the shot of your son holding the yellow M&M. I made for a great stand-alone.

    My favorite is the m&m. I think pictures of children are the best! and you angle was perfect, I think you did a great job at making the m&m the main color in the photo even though it is so small.

    yellow is a great color. I especially like your angles. You also did a good job of capturing depth of field.

    You caught a great picture of the construction vehicles, you made it more interesting. I also love the honeybee on the flower.

    Wow! The close-up of the bee is beautiful. I like the shallow depth of field.

    Your sunflower photo has AMAZING lighting. How did you do that? I love the sunset and the glow it gives. It's a really great photo.

    I love your beautiful yellow photos. How do you like your new Sony camera, and when did you get it? It seems like you are really getting some great photos with it! Is it easy to use? It seems like you can get a great close up. Did you get it at Costco? If so, what lens did you use for the bee shot? Your photos look professional. I can't wait to see it and hear about it at Bannack. :)
