Selective colour photos

[Carly]

I seem to have been doing more selective colouring than normal recently and have also seen lots of great sc shots on people that I follow.

I thought people might like to share some of there selective colour photos :D

I will start with my two from the last couple of weeks

[Angie Vega ☮♥ シ]

[melissa]

This is my most recent selective color from March 27th.

[Alex Dowding]

my only selective colour;

[Carly]

@alexgdowding works really well though :)

[Alex Dowding]

Thanks @cazink. I love the vibrancy of the yellow, and they're such a classic shape

[Kalexa]

It's fun to find a little magic in one's day.

[Carly]

@kalexa cool, works well for the subject too :)

[Donna]

@cazink I love your 3D glasses photo - so simple but so effective.

I've not done many selective colours pics, but this is one of my fave own photos from my project so far:

[Carly]

@xddx I love this - the red phone boxes are so nostalgic to me and the selective colour really makes it stand out its fab :)

[Jessica Dowdy]

nice thread!!

so, i did a high contrast/b&w effect, but left the eyes the original color.

[Emma]

I tend to do sc once or twice a month. This is one from last month which I am very happy with:

[Carly]

@emmar84 the pollen is so bright :)

[Emma]

@cazink It was and especially in contrast with the white flowers. I adore lilys even if they do make me sneeze!

[Carly]

@emmar84 I love the way they look but the smell makes me feel ill. I think the smell reminds me too much of funerals :(

[Emma]

@cazink I was told when I was younger that white lilys were funeral flowers but I've always found them too beautiful to use only for such sad occasions. One day, when I don't have nursery bills to pay, I look forward to buying myself a large bouquet of white lilies and dark red roses, I think I would spend the first day just looking at and smelling them!

[Carly]

@emmar84 I agree they are stunning, my mum often has lilys in her house, the smell thing is really annoying, I couldn't bear to have them in my wedding flowers because of it. I had the red roses though! :D

[Wendy Delena]

I LOVE doing selective color! I actually have a bunch but will just stick a couple up here so as not to drown you all! LOL!

[Carly]

@positronicmommy I love your selective colour shots, the reading book one is one that i really liked when you first posted it :D

[Wendy Delena]

@cazink Thanks Carly! I have always loved selective coloring and was sooo excited when I learned how to do it!

[Susan Sharpless Smith]

[Deborah DeJong]

[Laura]

[Teri Moore]

[Paul Myers]

[Sam C-R]

I've done ALOT of this lately... ready to be spammed? :P

[Paula]

[Sarah Watson]

[Anna Ruth]

I love doing SC! One of my favorite techniques!

[melissa]

This is my favorite one that I've done so far.

[Lisa Hutchinson]

These are all so fantastic, I wish I knew how to do selective colouring.

[Jo Arrowsmith]

I love playing with selective colour!!

[Victoria Roberts]

I'm sure this is the only one I've ever done, having looked at some of your amazing shots I think I will do it again xx

[Kerry Marsden]

These are all so good, I feel a little shy about posting my attempts.. but here goes.

I have developed a bit of a complex about keeping Greg red in my photos - I love editing and effects and stuff, but no matter what I do to my photos (and this isn't very often!) Greg the Duck *has* to be red. Not quite B&W, I'm afraid, but maybe the right sorta thing:

[melissa]

@lisahutchinson -What editing program do you use?

[Missy]

[Melissa]

I'll call this one a collaboration between me and @janmaki, because it was really his idea to edit my original photo:

[Jon Calumpit]

[Ted]

[Sarabeth]

Yesterday was my first attempt at selective coloring:

[Jessie Lee]

[La.Sk]

I LOVE selective color! Here’s a few of my favorites.




There, I don’t think I posted all of them lol.

[DavidCHR]

I love selective colour. I basically use 1 of 2 basic methods to achieve it: desaturating all colours but one or using masks. something in the picture itself will usually tell me which one I should use. A few of mine from this project:

[Sarabeth]

Sunday shoes:

[Greg S]

This is a favourite of mine.

[Sonia Last]

Don't do it nearly as much as i used to (when i first worked out how!) But these are some of my favourites from my project

[Liz (fotomama)]

[Renee Smith]

This is the only selective colouring I've done. I had a comment about his "mickey Mouse Ears" which I hadn't noticed when editing!

[Michelle]

I"ve not done any selective coloring myself but I follow this guy who is doing incredible selective coloring.

"Not only I take a picture a day, but I also pick ONE unique hue from the chromatic circle. So each day I move up to the next degree in the chromatic circle.
I have started with a perfect red (Degree #0) at Day 5." ~ Jordan Ausesky (@plopx )

I love all the photos. I have a question. I deleated my yahoo account. I was having troule withs omeone hacking into my craigs list account. Now I can't get into my flicker account. Do I need a new yahoo account to get back into it? Will a new one give me my old flicker account back or is that lost and I have to start over?
