WEEKEND PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE #488 BLACK AND WHITE IN THE GARDEN
Lilacs have such an old world feeling to them. B+W suits them perfectly.
Lilacs – I’m a firm believer in Ansel Adam’s Zone System, with representation from the blackest blacks to the whitest whites if possible. Lilacs are my favourite blossom, they transport me. Hopefully,
this image embodies that feeling.A photo of my son and grandson taken years ago, rendered in B+W for this weekend challenge.
Rob – the blue is a thin paint outline on the car – if you blow up the photo you will see it’s not an artefact of processing but actually part of the design.
Re the white dot – that is light reflection off the chromed interior of the engine compartment. You’re right, an oversight on my part as all of the other reflections are exterior due to the extreme high gloss paint. Eagle eye there!
Greg – I think Rob was talking about a lone white dot in the grill – that could be removed. The rest of the grill reflections would have to stay, as the paint was highly reflective, and all reflections on the car would need to be removed for it to be scientifically correct (LOL). You’re right, it was a glittery glamourous car show for sure.
This is my first time doing a challenge, so bear with me if I’m doing it incorrectly. This is how I like to sit in my living room in the evenings. There’s a large sodium arc streetlight just outside my window, and I enjoy the orange light that comes through the blinds. Just above the candle is a largeish TV screen (off at the moment) so I can have that ‘at the movies’ feel when I want. Many silhouettes in the room, all part of the relaxed ambience. Pardon the focus, this is a phone photo on my Samsung Galaxy S8.
