Colors have been an existential crisis lately.
Lately I've been on a film emulation kick, and it feels like everything I touch ends up all filmulated, and way too trendy. I'm wondering if there's a way to buck this.
This photograph is somewhere in the middle. While I definitely shot for something a little more vintage, but at the same time I wanted an extreme effect.
I've been realizing the thing I love the most is innovation. I really want to do everything in a new way, even colors.
I've been looking into faux stained glass techniques - as much as I would love to learn the actual craft, the potential project simply doesn't have the budget to accommodate real stained glass. So here is a first attempt at mimicking at least the idea, getting used to to approach, and fine-tuning coloration and texture.
I like to experiment fixing different dishes..... Vindaloo style cauliflower, curried mixed vegetables, dal, ( lentils) and palak alu dish ( potatoes and spinach in cream) some rotis
This is my friend, Emily. We decided to purchase some confetti from Dollarama and experiment with it. Unfortunately, it was freezing (can't really tell from these pics LOL) so we didn't take pictures for too long :s Hoping for warm, spring weather some time this week so we can redo this experiment!
Camera toss. No Photoshop manipulations - only adjusting brightness
Part of a multi-photographer experiment using a graphic target as a source.
Right partner, here is what I came up with - but feel free to bring me to a grinding halt if it doesn't rock your boat. A square in a square sort of block in bright colours (and let's not forget a wee bit of HR). If you like I can do a couple more. If not, back to the drawing board. And do you prefer the navy or grey Essex linen for the background. I know what I prefer but this is about you, not me.
Not to be outdone by Nikon Nigel I present my heavily cropped slightly photoshopped splash experiment. I can take no credit for the set up and flash trigger that helped create this.
Taken right at nightfall, working on some HDR. I need to study up some more on it ;-)

I'm really not sure about this picture and so I'd be massively grateful for your constructive comments. Does it work? Is it under-exposed? How would you improve it?
If you have a moment, I really would appreciate your thoughts as I feel I'm in completely new territory here...
Many thanks,
Tom.
Many thanks indeed to everyone who contributed to this really useful discussion - I found it immensely helpful. Thanks!
... I downloaded this free texture a few days ago and forgot where I found it. If you recognize your texture... please tell me so I can give you the credits for it :-)
Right, some more experiments in B&W with the Cyber trio. I am completely undecided on which is best, all have their merits.
