I’ve been playing around lately with different concepts when it comes to my picture taking. I was talking about being inspired last night and how it becomes a chain reaction. For example: I’m inspired by flickr (we all know I’m addicted) -> I experiment after seeing some ideas I like -> someone else, like my friend Jill, sees my work -> it now changes the way she takes pictures. Isn’t that cool? I think so. This is the very reason why my photography skills have grown so much in the last year.
I’ve seen jump shots and silhouette shots a zillion times before. This was the first time I actually tried a combo. I like the result. I have to say the art of processing adds a lot in this instance. Look at the original:
It’s a pretty good foundation but after bumping up some of the colors and toning down others, adding more contrast and finally a drastic crop……You get something super duper grand. I just love having a digital darkroom where I can play.
Well, I put this lesson at the top of my list. I will definitely practice some more though because you never know when you will get “The Shot”
Nice explanation and processing. You are an excellent photographer and I’m very proud of you.
Thanks honey! That means a lot!!!!!!!
