To be or not to be

(6 wordstory)

for the BW book club - High key - I'm quite fascinated by this high and low key stuff!! Have to confess - i just clicked and hey presto, plus a small adjustment- there you have it - but I've just got my MF book in the mail today and will study up more on histograms - but no hurry. In the mean time you have this - my friend Andrew.
Oh yes, cool high key! Yeah sounds familiar, thatĀ“s what I do too; just clicking away and then some adjustments but it sure is fun to play, isnĀ“t it

@jules13 high key - I pinched this from the B&W book club posting..
* Low Key: "the setting is a dark interior, with weak side-lighting that reveals enough of the subject to make it obvious, and a background that can easily go to black" (pg. 158/158).

* High Key: "For high key to work visually, it demands high contrast with a few remaining dark tones ā€¦" and "there usually needs to be some smaller, darker elements that are integral to the image" (pgs. 160-162/160-162).
