Orange With No Reserve

srtr100 — Sun, 23 Aug 2026 09:42:54 GMT

I look across the gallery and see a lot of green, blue, grey, brown, black, white, and pink; occasionally some yellow or red. There is nothing wrong with this, but a splash of orange could stand to liven up the site. So, I took out some oranges,orange Fiestaware bowl, my warmest lens, and shot this little photo. Exposure was 1/60s @f4 ISO 400 2800k on an R100 with a 58mm f1.4 Minolta Auto Rokkor PF. Slight cropping and contrast adjustment done in Pix.Orange.JPG

srtr100,

I was surprised at your use of 2800K. I would have exepected something in the 6-7000 K range.

I was shooting under a tungsten lamp therefore I had to lower the color temperature settings.
