This next challenge will be ANYTHING that you want it to be, but it must be something new to you. I have decided to work on a few different types of photography this summer. I am concentrating on HDR & digital Infrared photography. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. You use bracketing on your camera & Photomatix to transform your images into HDR. Visit Trey Ratcliff @ Stuck In Customs & scroll down to his video at Google.
Click here to join in.

I concentrated on HDR this summer, so here are 2 examples of HDR.
I used 3 RAW images for each HDR. I set up a tripod & bracketing on my camera. Later, on my computer, I took the 3 bracketing shots into Photomatix & tweaked it in Photoshop.
Please visit my Slideshow Gallery to view all of my 2010 HDR images & more of my Boathouse HDR series.

Community Photo Challenge- COLOR

This month's subject is color...but NOT just color. We want to see you create something special color-wise. Something your camera did not see. Something you saw in the photo and created in post processing.

There are a lot of ways color can be used:

1. Selective color...create a black and white or other monochrome photo with just a touch of color...blue eyes, a child's red jacket, whatever you choose, but make most of the image monochrome.

2. Play with the different color modes in your photo editing software. Create a duotone, or make a monochrome using something other than black & white or sepia.

This challenge is limited only by your imagination so get out there and IMAGINE COLOR!


My example of Selective Color:

Using Duotone, green & black:

Below I used 2 bold colors along with Black & White.

This was taken in Salerno, Italy. I used the HDR technique.

The Bedell house in Old Bethpage Village on LI, I also used the HDR technique with grunge effect.

This last photo was taken in the late 1970's in Mystic, Connecticut. I was looking out of the window on a rainy day, using the window as a frame. I added an grunge/layered effect this year.
