took these today, something new...

With this one I used a polarizing filter and natural light...

And this one I obviously did in black and white but I also added some artificial light.

What do you think?

I'm not sure about the posterized colors. I really like the BW one.

A little heavy on the pshop for my taste.

I really like it Photo Gal!
These are great!
It's nice to see something different!

most of these people around here don't like photoshoped images... haha, just ignore them :wink:

I don't do pshop, I do straight out of the camera with lights, filters, lens...I do the occasional brightness/contrast adjustment. And I add the border. Thanks for your comments however!!! : )

Awwww thank you littleMan!!! : ))

Interesting. How was the posterization in the first frame achieved. A flash of light during development? post the details. We are dying to know!

Ya mean, THESE views are "straight out of the camera?"

Wow. That's beyond me. I'd love to hear some of the detais.

Thanks!

Thanks for all your comments. I shoot with a sony mavica, it has an internal polarizing filter that I used in concert with a "Digital Polarizer filter externally and used the very bright morning sun coming in the window box directly on the subject which is a very shiny ceramic mask in the the first photo. In the second photo I shot in B& W with the addition of 400 watt bulb with the natural light. Minus the filters! Thanks again!! : )

WOAH! I love BOTH of them! Amazing

elsaspet · Mar 10, 2005

Really cool. It's amazing that these weren't Photoshopped. Very Original! Love them both!

LaFoto · Mar 11, 2005

Cool. Yesterday I still thought this was some sort of PS filter you had used ... to hear that these come straight out of your camera is amazing! But it is no person you photographed, it is a mask? All the same: very nice and highly interesting outcome!
