Purple Flower Photography

What does the color Purple represent?

Purple has always been one of my favorite colors. Purple represents so many spiritual things and is considered to be the color of the Goddess. It is also the color that represents our crown chakra and it is the Reiki Master Symbol color. Purple is a mixture of red and blue. With red being the warmest color and blue being the coolest color it is believed to be the union of body and soul creating a balance between our physical and our spiritual energies. With Red being a color of focus, dynamic and active energy and blue being the color of calming and cooling energy, it is associated with imagination, inspiration and spirituality. Purple and violet represent the imagination and dreams, while spiritually calming the emotions. These colors enhance psychic ability and spiritual enlightenment, and because of the red being one of the colors in the mixture for purple, it helps keep us grounded.

Purity of White

The Color White

ust for fun, you should do a Google Search to see if Black and White is considered colors. A lot of folks say they are not, and a lot of folks say they are. They say black is the positive of all colors and white is the absence of all color. Black is the absence of light, color does not exist without light, white is a balance of color in light. So basically they are shades or tones. A bit confusing I know, but to me personally, I consider them colors. But really this page is not about that, I wanted to write about the purity of white. White has never been a color I have been drawn too. Before doing my photography, when I looked at white flowers all I could see was the dingy brown color they turn. Since I am somewhat tom-boyish for me to wear white clothes is a nightmare. That was proven again over the weekend in North Carolina; I had a hair brain idea to wear white shorts which did not remain white for very long while doing some photography at the botanical gardens.

Absent of Color Photography

Black and White Photography

ecently, seeing life through the lens of my camera ha

Recently, seeing life through the lens of my camera has really changed the way I see the world. I have grown to love the rich, deep colors of the world and have started incorporating them into my regular life. Don't get me wrong, I am an artist so of course I love color, but colors have changed a lot for me recently or should I say I have changed the way I see color today? I hated to call this page "Absent of Color" because although black and white are not considered colors I have always considered them to be. Black and white photography has amazed me lately. Although I love my photography with the rich colors, I also really love the black and white shots. I love how the white seems to shine sometimes. I love how the black and white adds an age effect to the photos, yet a rich crispness also.

The Nikon D3100 camera does not have a mode to switch to take straight out black and white photos, but it does have a way to take one of your color photos and turn it black and white, I am sure many of you already know how to do this, but it is something I just learned so I will it with you in a minute. Also, another way to turn a colored picture black and white can be done in photoshop which I will also post in a minute. Read more at www.squidoo.com
