Tinker Toys

I used the in-camera version of selective coloring for this shot of Sam's tinker toys scattered across the floor.

Tinker toys look a lot different from when I was a kid, or even when my kids were kids. Great use of selective color, which I wish I knew how to do.

[Debs Stott]

The sc really works well here to highlight the more unusual shapes.

[Dione Giorgio]

Great use of sc. Very nice shot.

[Sylvia du Toit]

Well done. While watching your photos I remembered that I do have "cookies" in the oven. To late! Will place a picture today of the result>

[Taffy]

Lovely job on this -- turns the toys into art -- and sort of a deconstructionist look at cars!

[Janet B.]

Very creative and inspiring!

[Margaret Obey]

Great composition Ann, love it

I put these together for the Flash of Red February/Black and White challenge I've been running for the last 3 years. http://365project.org/olivetreeann/themes-and-comp/2014-01-16 http://365project.org/olivetreeann/themes-and-comp/2014-01-17 http://365project.org/olivetreeann/themes-and-comp/2014-01-18 http://365project.org/olivetreeann/themes-and-comp/2014-01-19 http://365project.org/olivetreeann/themes-and-comp/2014-01-20

@joansmor @prttblues @digitalrn
Thank you Joan, Bev and Rick! I never know what colors the camera is going to choose Joan!

[Julie Cortens]

I remember tinker toys. Are they back?

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@cortens My daughter-in-law saw a sign for a yard sale which turned out to be a school that was closing down. She picked up a box of tinker toys and a box of wooden building blocks for $10.00- so I don't know if they're coming back or that they remain popular, but the grands played with them almost instantly!

[Julia]

love your SC

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@juliac Thank you Julia! This version was all done in the camera. I never know what colors it will chose, but it always makes it interesting!
