sidewalk trash
Active Assignment Weekly:
Assignment:
Capture some good old trash and then turn it into photographic treasure.
In other words, capture something trashy that looks really cool after you've photographed and processed it. (Joe, this does not mean a picture of yourself.)
Dare: Trash you find somewhere other than in your own garbage or house.
Restriction: Garbage cans, recycling bins, or other receptacles cannot appear in the photo.
I know that Vik Muniz would be a good source of inspiration. www.wastelandmovie.com/gallery.html
Here's a good group: www.flickr.com/groups/trash-art/
WIT: Way more processed than I would usually do, BUT - I felt that's what Paul was driving at. We were working in the yard today and I found this crushed water bottle in the sidewalk. We live on a main thoroughfare and we are constantly picking up garbage that people throw out of their cars. Anyway, my first assignment with my new K-5!: F/8.0, 1/200 sec, ISO 800 (cloudy day). RAW conversion and CS4 adjustment to curves for contrast, upped the vibrance, solarization down to 69%, added 40% cooling filter, increased the brightness, added 16% posterization, noise reduction, resize, final sharpening.
