what how do you do that selective coloring?

 

[Chriss]

Look it up on google. Its quite simple and easy to do.

 

[IgsEMT]

what how do you do that selective coloring?

There are few ways to do that
#1a - choose an adjustment brush (saturation), desaturate everything except what you want to be left in color
#1b - desaturate EVERYTHING then "erase" the area that you want to stay in color
#2 - its easier to see it here then me describing Viddler.com - Touch Of Color Too - Uploaded by ziser

I did the 1a. This is very easy if your going to use it in a picture where your subject have a different color the the background.

Is that first one the "make everyone turn their heads sideways" preset?

 

[IgsEMT]

I did the 1a

Doing is 1b (funny i guess the way I named it) at least for me is easier when object is small compared to the rest of the scene, as it is in your picture. Its just less details I have to go through

EDIT

Ouch Dan, #1 really hurt my neck and I already had a kink. I can't tell what the subject is. What else did you do besides make it B&W?

#2 - Nice color on the flower. There are distracting things in the background and even the vines to the right.

Are you in Manila, Philippines?

 

[dandiaz]

sorry for that kinda did a lot on #1. basically test all the settings in lightrooms. I did use the brush to i think.

Yes. I'm in Manila

Wow, the color on the sky is awesome!! is that a lens effect? Love the flower pic!

 

[dandiaz]

No, I used the brush tool in light room. But i did have an circular polarizer when i shot this.

Whats up with the massive tilt in the first image?
Looks like you had an awesome sky to play with, shame you tilted and had the horizon so much in the "middle" of the scene.

 

[dandiaz]

I liked the playful effect but now its really feeling more akward than playful. I have some shots that not tilted but the foreground was kinda cut.:x
