Color Study: Stainless Steel

Recently, I have been on this stainless steel kick! I love anything stainless steel. Almost all my kitchen appliances are stainless steel and I really enjoy the feel my kitchen has. Its crisp and clean cut and simple but exquisit at the same time.

As I started thinking about what I want to do my color study on, I start observing colors. I noticed there were certain colors I am drawn to via eye and certain colors I am drawn to via camera. Stainless steel did both and so that is why I decided to do my study on Stainless Steel.

{"One man's trash, is another man's treasure" * 4/29/2011 – 8:59 AM * Rexburg: 2nd east * f/3.5 * 1/4000 sec * Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT * I had to get down low to take this photo so I could get the branch blurred in the background and focus more on the stainless steel device.}

{"Steel my food" * 4/29/2011 – 8:45 AM * Rexburg: My Kitchen * f/4.0 * 1/60 sec * Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT * I struggled and took many pictures to find out how I could best get the clearest shot of the kitchen aid but still get the stainless steel objects in the background. I had to strategically arrange the items to do so.}

{"That fence that separates" * 4/29/2011 – 8:30 AM * Rexburg: My Neighbor * f/9 *1/320 sec * Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT * I wanted both the fence and the sidewalk to be included in the photo. The cement brought in the grudge look that I was looking for and the fence brought texture. I didn't put my aperture up too high because I wasn't standing far away.}

{"Saturday Morning" * 4/29/2011 – 8:58 AM * Rexburg: 2nd east * f/18 * 1/60 sec * Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT * The image on the right was a blue color and I didn't want it to show up super bright so I caught it in the shadow and then tried to focus on the grungy barn in the background with the stainless steel tower on the left accenting the picture.}
