Our assignment for Flash of Red this week is to take a photo from early in our project and use some of the editing skills we have learned this month to change it. Then, if we dare, to post it side by side. The photo on the left is the very first one I posted on 365 in July of 2011. Not only did I lighten, desaturate, sharpen and clarify it but putting it into this collage is also a skill I didn't have when I first started. Actually, posting anything on line was a skill I didn't have until after I started here.
Maybe I'll pick an old photo tomorrow. Remember the days when you dropped your film off and picked up your prints. Kind of loved that processing...LOL what a time saver
This is fascinating! Nice B&W processing and nice diptych (I don't think I knew that word when I started this project!) It is neat to look back and realize how much we've learned--and not just about photography. . . .
I am glad to see your before and after shot! It really puts things into perspective. The light shows off so much better in bnw. Glad you are learning things. I am learning so much and so blessed to be part of this :)
@darsphotos Thanks for the FAV and yes we have come far in this journey. @dyanstevens Thank you so much for that enthusiasm, Dyan. @annied Using contrast to sharpen and image is a wonderful tool. Thanks Annie. @kandkids Thanks Karen! I am sure that would be fine. @lesip I do remember that but you had to take what someone else though was good. I like having the control. @maggiemae They do. The color version defiinitely makes it easier to see which ones are ripe! @daisyditch I love that you are so easily impressed! ;~} Thanks Daisy! @francoise sometimes for the good and sometimes not! Our goal is to figure out which to use and when! @judithdeacon Thanks Judith! It has been educational, hasn't it? @eudora Thanks Diane! I know i never knew what it meant! I agree it is good to look back. @dishaparekh176 Thank you so much Disha! I feel the same way about all of it. @kwiksilver You are always so generous with your praise Gillian! thanks so much! @tunia Thanks Tunia! I have learned tons of things since 2011. @linnypinny Thanks for that support and the FAV Lin! @swguevin I appreciate the FAV! You are too kind!
