We went over to the other side to photograph the boom looking back toward town hall. I didn't like the light and didn't even click. But if you see the steeple on the right up there ↑, I figured that has diagonals, so I clicked. In the end I also used selective colour.
Then we went on a little walk by the back b ridges. When I got out of the car, I liked the backlight on the thistlely thingies (by all means comment with a proper name). Converting to mono also seemed to be just the ticket.
Around the bend I spotted a tree with some leaves and a carpet below. One doesn't not convert such a scene to b&w.
So, my camera is pretty well on the shelf (ie kitchen table) these days, so I am taking phone photos when the spirit moves me. Then, I play a bit in post to try to make something out of them although the last photo did not require much play. This is far from best photographic practice, but it is what it is.
I do like that first photo with selective color.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I don't do more b/w because when I see it, I love it. Then again, I'm not nearly the awesome photographer you are! Love the spot of yellow in the curve.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that you and Sue share an interest in photography. I only take snapshots without much concern for esthetics, while Scott is much more focused on technicalities and improvements. Tripods, going out in the cold to capture the moon and northern lights, trying to learn and build skills.
ReplyDeleteI quite like the selective colour! Well done!
ReplyDeleteElites be damned! I like the selective color.
