Active Assignment Weekly, Feb 8-15: The Color Red. Dare-Try Selective Focus
Northern Cardinals are a regular visitor in my backyard, and since it was extremely cold this weekend, this was actually taken from the warmth of my kitchen window. I love how red he looks against the empty trees. The woods look so lonely and we live in a sepia world this time of year, so these birds are a happy sight!
I used Lightroom to desaturate and clean up the photo a bit.
We have a new Apple computer. Sally has been trying to convince me for years that the Photos program that comes with the newer machine has more capabilities than the 10+ yr-old one we had.
I purposely posted this in close proximity to the original shot (which was pretty close to straight-out-of-camera). I was showing Sally, last night, the photo-editing functions I had tried so far, and ran across one called "selective color". I selected (chose) a color (in this case green), and then manipulated everything that was that color while leaving the rest (here, the pink and orange of the purple conflower) the original color. I think the altered green gives more of a feeling of depth.
When I think of the shenanigans Sally and I used with analog film, in the close space of the darkroom (involving "dodging" with her hands & mine together) to deemphasize an area of a photo, or lighten just one portion... I feel like a dinosaur. I already knew I was way behind the curve regarding digital photography processing, but I have to say it is nice to work on a photo with a cup of coffee in my hand rather than breathing fumes and working in the dark.
Vegetable gardners consider these little Spotted Cucumber Beetles to be pests, but for me, they are a bright spot when they occasionally show up in the flowers. Decided to process this selectively.

I was with Victoria when we found this ant. Somehow, Victoria froze the ant in place and he wouldn't move, letting me take a picture of him.
Selective coloring!
Photographer Michael Aponte uses our TLT ROKR tilt-shift adapter to create lovely selective focus images like this. For this image, Michael used a Canon FD 24mm f/2.8 lens and adapted it to his Fujifilm X-T4 with our FD to Fuji X TLT-ROKR adapter, using the tilt effect built into the adapter to selectively focus on this sleepy cat.

A photo of my table lamp, turned black and white, with the brass stand and light inside the shade bought back to the correct colour.
think good light is the most important thing in photography. I started taking pictures with harsh lights and most of my pictures were ruined and I don’t like them anymore. I prefer cloudy days because we can find even light in all scenes. The sunrise and sunset also provide very good light, but not in the afternoon because it creates harsh light. Taking pictures in different lights improved my photography skills. Now I understand where and when I shall take pictures to achieve the best light.
