Exposing for the colour yellow

One of the hardest, (I find), colours to expose for.

My keeper rate for this type of photo is something like 20-1

They look very good to me PooBear....

Re: Exposing for the colour yellow

They are great PooBear. I can't honestly say I've had trouble with yellow, but maybe I'm just not as discerning as you .

Re: Exposing for the colour yellow

I took this picture yesterday. The first rose I've ever grown.
Very pleased with the colour.

Re: Exposing for the colour yellow

Excellent rose and great photo Carol....Impressive...

Re: Exposing for the colour yellow

I don't seem to have that problem. I think it has a lot to do with camera and lens make

Re: Exposing for the colour yellow

Beautiful flowers PooBear. There are several different shades of yellow among yellow flowers in different seasons, some are more of a lemon yellow ranging up to an almost mustard yellow.

Yours looks perfect to me.

Mine here is what I would call a Spring yellow, two different yellows taken back in March.

Re: Exposing for the colour yellow

Beautiful polyanthus Mags, and perfect in that yellow bowl. Yes, it is surprising the range of colours in the yellow part of the spectrum.

Re: Exposing for the colour yellow

Beautiful Mags.
I think the yellow bowl sets them off a treat too.

Re: Exposing for the colour yellow

I haven't really had any trouble with capturing yellow on film. Or perhaps I should say on SD card
