Shot for Active Assignment Weekly 20-27 Mar 2017: Monochrome (not B&W)
"...take a photo in colour, and transform it into a monochrome, but NOT black-and-white. You can show us the original colour version too in the comment section of your photo, if you like.
Restriction: You cannot just take a picture that is one colour and use it as a monochrome for this assignment. The idea is to take a picture and transform it into a monochrome colour; otherwise it would just be a "mostly one colour" theme."
WIT: Plants at a local garden centre, converted to Black & White, then used Hue/Saturation and Colorize to bring back the green. Took me a long time to work out how to do this in Elements. Maybe there is a better way.
For this weekly, I went to capture the feeling of performing. As a drummer I get the need to play to keep my hands moving or just feel like relaxing a bit and pulling out a drum book and pad out some beats.

WIT
Vine shoot I saw on a bush today in the park. In pp, I turned upside down and applied a light-green screen and then converted to b/w.

호떡 / Hotteok
can't resist!
the usual ones are thicker and softer and sometimes they are super thin & crispy, but these are in between. honestly, i love them all! shallow fried with melted sugar & crushed peanuts inside. insanely delicious.
Taken for the Active Assignment Weekly - Sky Task.
This task made me think about what the act of 'looking to the sky' means to different people. There's also been a big story bouncing around the Australian media outlets about some poor guy who gave his SIM card to someone and ended up in jail for nearly a month on terrorism charges. (The charges were dropped last night).
So this image is meant to be a reminder that not everyone gets to look up at a clear blue sky and feel free.
*gets down off soap box*
What it took
A hunt around town for a barbed wire fence (I really wanted circles and circles of razor wire but this was the best I could do.)
A tiny bit of cropping and that's it!
What I took it with
Canon Ixus
-s-
I keep thinking I am drawing the string backwards but I looked and it is right. Maybe just something wrong with how I used it.

WIT
On my home this morning, I went to this closed-down place that used to have mirrors. It wasn't there, so I wondered into this diner, took some quick shots and then got out.
Altered the red and green curves a little
