*Pictures from monday - COLOR, GROUP 1

walked on the property looking for things yesterday, heres some of what I found

and lastly,

some of these shots were experimental, partly in composition and partly in photoshop. On the last shot I tried to meter it so it would meter the subject correctly (i actually underexposed it by half a stop) and keep the surroundings dark, because the subject was much brighter than what was around it. It actually worked too, which was neat, and I didnt have hardly any PS duties to do to it.

What did you do to Photo 3? Somehow that one makes my eyes all wobbly... though I, of course, love the predominant colour of your photos. Should I add that..........

.............. erm... no.

thanks you guys

LaFoto, on the third i didnt really do a whole bunch. I darkened the image and then used the dodge tool to lighten up the branch and the curl things. some consider this 'cheating'. Should i feel guilty everytime I use photoshop for such things? I cant think of any other way to do it besides that, except for using a specialty flashlight (which actually can give awesome results). I'm pretty sure you can do that in the darkroom too...

No, I don't call that "cheating". It's ok and no one needs to feel guilty about applying a bit of photoshop, I think. It may well be only my eyes that go wobbly over that one... Mind my age...
