OK, I know selective color is totally passe. I liked the B&W version. I did. Really. I missed the color though, so I tried to be subtle, and I pasted in one layer of select color range. Yeah, it's HDR and bled-ifs, and selective pastes as well...
I hope it's enjoyable anyway.
Yep, I'm back to the barns too, there are after all, a lot of them around here to photograph - The best part is that I can probably revisit them in the early summer and get brand new, completely different images.
Taken with the trusty 28-135... I keep meaning the exploit the zoom, but I'm too conditioned to wide angle zooms and a normal prime.
After seeing a lot of my favorite contacts use selective coloring, I decided to put an attempt to it myself. I'm amazed on how much more it brings out the subject when doing it.
Test shot from my new Nikon D5100 .
It can do selective colour , HDR ( jpeg only ) , tilt shift and many more , all in camera.
You can select up to three colours at once .

Just messing around with this image showing a friend what can be done with PS. actually quite like the effect. The blue is the actual colour of the original shot.
A quick play around with selective colouring on this snow owl.

I know, selective coloring... clicheclicheclichecliche.
But I actually think I like this.
Sorry I'm not really posting anything great, I guess my return isn't so triumphant... I just want to post *something* until I have the time to shoot something worthwhile! I just really have to focus on my schoolwork right now.

This brightly-colored and beautiful male Ring-necked Pheasant was photographed at the Baylands Nature Preserve in northern California. A part of the San Francisco Bay ecosystem, this is a prime area for bird watching especially during the winter months. Bounded by the cities of Mountain View and East Palo Alto, the 1,940 acre preserve is the largest tract of undisturbed marshland remaining in the Bay.
Selective color is a post-processing technique where, in this photograph, the background is converted to black and white, but the main subject, the pheasant, is left in brilliant color. This was achieved by using layers and masks in photo editing software (PhotoShop VI). Black and white photography can give very powerful meaning to a photo, but sometimes a bit of color can make it truly outstanding. The selective color technique in this photograph emphasizes the pheasant and draws more attention to the subject.
Pretend it is selective focus. It was all in focus while being eaten but wine consumed may have caused the camera focus situation. Frenched green beans, USA corn, roasted potatoes from someplace and tasty BC Sockeye salmon off the BBQ.

Admission - When I was a kid, I dreamed of growing up to be the catcher for the Red Sox. In my mind, I was going to get drafted by the Sox, play a couple of years in the minors and be called up just about the time that Carlton Fisk (who was NEVER going to leave and go to the White Sox) was getting ready to hang up his spikes. In retrospect, I probably should have come up with a 'Plan B'. A freak growth spurt (you don't see many 6'3" 150 lb. catchers, as I was at the time) ended my career as a catcher and later a series of injuries (the last of which was a fractured orbital socket from a fastball to the face) ended my playing days for good.
But over the years, at any given time, my favorite player in baseball was less likely to be a specific individual and more likely to be whoever was catching for the Red Sox. That includes Rich Gedman, Tony Pena and even Roger LaFrancois, who endured eight long years in the minors to make it to the majors and get 10 at-bats for the Sox in '82. When the Sox got Tek from the Seattle Mariners (along with Derek Lowe in exchange for the much-maligned Heathcliff Slocumb, one of the great trades of the Dan Duquette era), I didn't know who he was but it didn't take long for me to realize that he's the player I dreamed of being when I was a kid.
Varitek's teams have been winners wherever he has played. He's played in the Little League World Series, the Florida High School State Championship, the College World Series, the Olympics, the WBC and 2 MLB World Series as well. He's known as one of the best handlers of pitchers in the game and it's no coincidence that he has been behind the plate for a MLB-record four no-hitters. Oh, and if Curt Schilling hadn't shaken him off with two outs in the ninth inning of a game against the A's in '07, he might have five no-hitters to his credit.
When I took this series of pictures, Varitek was warming up in the bullpen for an early-April game against the A's. Before Jon Lester started loosening up, Tek was down there wearing his small training mitt, and somebody was throwing him pitch after pitch in the dirt. Left, middle, right, left, middle, right, over and over. It really struck me that after 1300+ games behind the plate, this multiple-time All-Star and Gold Glove winner was down there in the bullpen with seemingly nobody watching but me, practicing the basic fundamentals over and over as though he were a rookie who was trying to make the team. But I guess that's why he has the track record that he does while other catchers are still trying to backhand pitches in the dirt to their right. And young, promising pitchers like Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz owe much of their success to the careful guidance he has given them.
About a week and a half later, I was watching a Sox-Yankees game and Jonathon Papelbon was pitching to Mark Texeira with the go-ahead run at third base. Papelbon threw a 59-foot splitter that bounced next to the plate. Tek slid over, elbows out, glove down, blocked the pitch. Fundamentally perfect, body square to the pitch, the ball right in front of him. The runner had to hold at third, no drama, no worries. But it made me smile to remember watching him in the bullpen 10 days before, practicing that very play over and over and over so he could make that same play in the 9th inning of a game against the Yankees with the go-ahead run at third base. I'm sure most people will remember Jason Bay's 2-out, 2-run homer off Mariano Rivera in the 9th to tie the game, then Kevin Youkilis hitting a walk-off, extra-inning bomb to win it. But my favorite play of the game was a Papelbon splitter in the dirt that amounted to exactly nothing.
