That is correct!

This is to see how one can retain the detail when taking a photo where the main subject is black. It is something I really need help on learning. Go ahead....give it a try, sharing what works or does not work...we all get to learn something right????

Here is place to express your "BLACK" thoughts!

Any questions just PM me.

Greetings, for this comp I am asking for photos of black.

I have always had difficulty capturing the detail that the naked eye sees in black subjects. It is said black animals in shelters are adopted much less, due to their photos which lack in features, as the black blends into itself.

So get out your cameras and remember it is black I wish to see in the foreground as the focal point/subject. People, clothing, animals and still life are all acceptable, no black & white photos please.

I will be judging on the quality of the detail and of course creativity.
I would also like to know the techniques you used, Hoping to see some stunning shots, and to learn something besides.

Have Fun;
JudithAnn

I won!!! WOW. Now I get 2 weeks of pure viewing pleasure.....NICE

Thank You Aiki, and congrats to my fellow contestants whom share the podium with me.

I will post our new topic later today. I know what I want, but have to think how to carefully word it...so other will also know.

Thanks again...
JudithAnn

I wanted the Mayor's Car to be focal point

My object was to make it look like it was a tin photo that was hand coloured.
I went into lightroom3.3 and desaturated. Applied some Vignetting and I gave the whole picture a slight grey green tone. I hand painted the car by copying the orginal rust colour and then hand applied it back on. I took the photo into Picasa, and up the shadow.
( I also went into Picnic to have a go, but it began to loose the "tin" feel, so I stopped)




Was good fun!

Uh....I do like Darlene...but I am not her!! Judithann

Congrats to the winners...nice to see Aiki back...Hey Aiki just pick something HARD, it will cut down your work

This Fortnight comp had more then usual...at least compared to the last three months, was nice to see

What colours in that little bird. I loved looking at the photo of him, he sure draws you in, had to take my eyes off him to see his surroundings. What is he anyway? Looks half Robin and half Blue-jay!!
