Ingrid: Blue Morpho butterfly taken at Wisley
Marthe: Window Box taken on a grey day. To get a result close to what she felt she saw she had to change the White Balance and set negative compensation.

Bob: To get the effect he wanted, he set single point focus, used a tripod and a manual setting on his camera - aperture f10
Gillian: Blue wine glasses, shot from above with an Automatic camera setting. Clean simple composition that worked well.

Les: Taken on a manual setting, using a tripod. The gravy boat was lit from the side and a gold reflector was used.
Les took this scenic shot of North Berwick using his phone. He liked the contrast and the reflections.
