Taken yesterday whilst out a local park that holds weekly running events. Trying to get high contrast again. So little time this week...please forgive me.
@gigiflower@newbank I like to keep you on your toes by challenging your grammatical skills. The iPad also seems to think that it knows what I should be saying.
@shepherdmanswife we were in a wooden area with musical instruments made of wood and recycled bits but then I spotted them running past and happily took shots without a)getting in the way or b) being seen....
Hi Ruth just spotted this on my daily feed - you are tagging yourself and not me so I am not getting your notifications.
This shot to me is high contrast as there is a lot of black against the bright light. It seems to me there has to be extremes between the two colours i.e very black and very white. I have been struggling too with this one but that is what I am now understanding. I really like the shot with you peeping out at the runners!!
@newbank Work have just given me the latest Samsung phone. I can speak to it and it will apparently complete my every command....so far, no. It doesn't seem to like my accent, my instructions, m speaking voice or anything else about me and insists on doing what ever it da we'll likes.what happened to phones being phones?
I would call this sort of high contrast....there is lots of contrast between dark & light ...very sharp & I like the runners going past you as you hide behind the tress...... @graemestevens as soon as you say 'yiss'' your new phone will be totally confused!!
I'll admit that I normally loathe high contrast, the stark differences just makes me shudder (dramatic, I know) but I think that it was used very effectively in this photo and I like it! It helps to strengthen the framing of the runner in the right of the image and makes him even more prominent against the bright background of the grasses. It looks to me like the hand of the runner on the far left is a little blurred (though it's tough to tell on my screen) so you may have needed a slightly quicker time value. Great photo!
@newbank I'm not a huge fan of high contrast Ruth, but I think this shot works well with the runners in the middle background and the dark trees in the foreground.
@newbank To be honest...no, I hadn't. I shall watch more closely ;)
