09 - Assignment - Selective Color - No Due Date
For whatever reason I've been drawn to selective color shots lately. I think it's fun looking for things that might standout in a fun way if using this particular PP trickery.
Let's see some inspirational selective coloring shots!
Here's one I took today over lunch.

I took this shot under a bridge for my first photography class last Spring with my P&S. I like it better in color (posted elsewhere on the forum) but asked my instructor if he would use selective color for the red light (I didn't know how--still don't).

Its not about the camera... its about the vision of the photographer

I love doing this. I was actually trying to do it with a few different photos I took of my cats last night. But couldn't get one to come out as I wanted.. Then I called it a night. I'll have to play around some more with them and come back here & post my photo.

These are a couple I did awhile back and liked the outcome.

Character is what you do when no one is looking.

Hey guys, new user here. I got my Canon Xti last week and have been obsessing over it since (I'm home on winter break from college, so I have the gift of time). C&C is welcome! Thanks.

How come red is almost always the selective color?

Good question, and I don't know. It probably has to do with the contrast. Red stands out more than other colors which might be lost of the B&W.

Thank you! It's really not that difficult to do...if you have photoshop and a tablet

Red does stick out. The color needs to be bright enough to stand out against the B&W. Orange or bright blues seem to look good. I'm kind of obsessed with these color selection pictures right now, so I'm looking for different ways to do it.
