Sue challenged me to review my October 2016 uploads and to redo one of them using the skills I've learnt over the past 6 years.
From this selection I selected a surprisingly successful high key image to inspire today's composition.
Over the past six years what have I learnt and what has changed for me to 'make' this image?
1/ I embrace post processing, now-a-days with hardly any cursing, especially for trick images
2/ I've got a 'studio' and a light box and am getting to grips with lighting
3/ I've completed photography courses (an OU and AYWMC 1 and 2)
4/ I know my limitations and if I don't succeed after 50 shots, or half an hour, it's no longer fun - so I stop
5/ Finally, and loosely linked to my get pushed challenged, I have made fabulous friends here on 365, some have been mentors and tutors, some have been tormentors (one has been all three for 6 years - she knows who she is!) but I have learned subliminally from many.
So Sue, I was inspired by the reflection in this image and hope you approve of my new low key interpretation.
This one has to get a FAV I love the creativity of it, I love the lighting, I love the simplicity, and I love the low-key. You have come such a long way.
I was going to select this one for you but had a strong inclination that you would choose it. Fabulous interpretation of this challenge.
Intrigued to know who the mentor, tutor and tormentor is!!!
@theredcamera no, don't get serious!! But do follow you tubes!!!! @will_wooderson too high praise Will!! I'm blushing
@joansmor thank you, two of 110!!! @monicac thank you, clever processing program
@casablanca thank you, I expect I copied it @delboy207 in all, honesty disappointing, it was all about processing and at that time I was very against " cheating" I got more from AYWMC and people here
mentor: this is great, what a response to the push. however, i would have loved for you to have zoomed out a bit more so there was more space on both the smoke and the firelight.
