Community Photo Challenge- REFLECTIONS

" The real journey of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."
~Marcel Proust

So with this in mind, I hope some photographers will think outside the box and try something different.

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.

Community Photo Challenge-GARDENS

These photos were take at the Old Westbury Gardens in Old Westbury, NY. This Garden is called the Walled Garden. To take a quick tour, click here.

Our new photo challenge is "GARDENS". You can photograph your own garden, or a local garden. It can be a detailed shot or a wide angle view. My image for the banner above was taken at Old Westbury Gardens in Old Westbury NY. If you choose to photograph a public garden, PLEASE include the name & location of the garden. (Optional-a small paragraph of info on the history of your garden or link to info)
What I am looking for is a display of beautiful gardens through out the world. So where ever you may live, find some beautiful gardens(private or open to the public) & show off your photography. Only one can be posted on our challenge blog, but you can add as many as you would like to your blog entry.
