Fluidr / "Color" not "Colors" by James Neeley

Jay taught the importance of color in an image. Its not about how saturated the color is or how many different colors there are but the subtleties, nuances and interactions of color. I must admit I have been guilty of over saturation in the past but will try to restrain myself ;-)

All of the images from this class are straight from the camera. I do have the camera set to "Vivid" as does Jay but have otherwise left the image untouched.

He also talked much about vision and seeing. I've photographed in Madrid, New Mexico before but went with preconceived ideas of what and how I would photograph. This time I went empty and walked slowly. It was amazing the new things that I saw and the unexpected photographs I got!
