I took these two pictures of the same seedling a few seconds apart to demonstrate the umbrella effect on a picture. One of the things that still stinks about digital photography is the white balance/color cast adjustments cameras will make. Cameras really don't understand shady or sunny, so they build in program logic so when the camera senses it might be shady, it puts a blue case on it, and when it's sunny, it puts a yellow cast on it.
So with these two pictures, I took the first one in full sun. The second picture, I put my body in the way of the sun to put it in a shadow. Looks like completely different colors. Not just in the bloom, but the foliage. You can really see the extra yellow in the sunny foliage, and a bluer cast over the shady bloom,
Newer, good cameras give you the option to turn off the color cast adjustment. My next camera will have that feature hoping the pictures will finally show up closer to the way my eye sees them.
