Day 24: Ducks

Day 24:  Composition, On the Diagonal

I was out taking photos of the overpasses near me for diagonals (for the third time -- I keep on not using them), when I saw these ducks.  They were pretty far away, so I didn't have good enough resolution, but I liked them anyway.  They got too far away before I could get a better shot.  I had to clone some out for a better diagonal.  Maybe I'll go shoot the overpasses again for Rule of Thirds or architecture (and then probably not use them again).

Day 23: Salad Plates

Day 23:  Color, Analogous Palette

Day 22: Guess what?

Day 22:  Style, Abstract

I took a photo and applied a gradient map.  I'd tell you what this is, but where's the fun in that? 

Day 21: Ladder

Day 21:  Post-Processing, Inversion

Today I went outside to take pictures of our glorious snow.  As soon as I laid eyes on this ladder with the snow in my yard below and the snow on my neighbor's roof above, I thought, "Inversion!"  (Restaining my fence is definitely on my list of things to do next summer.  :o   )

To make sure I practiced the other kind of inversion, where the colors are flipped, here's the same photo, now both flipped upside down and with inverted colors.  I also reframed it.  :)



Day 20: Chartreuse

Day 20:  Post-processing, Monotone

I'm not sure what I was supposed to do in post-processing to make this monotone.  It seems pretty monotone to me already.  If I had time to shoot this over, I would move the horse head a bit so it didn't partly cover the girls' face.  Oh heck... if I had time to shoot this over again, I'd probably do something entirely different!  But it was fun.  :)

Day 19: The Worrier

Day 19:   Portraiture, Hands and/or Feet

I softened the focus on this to show that the worrier isn't really conscious of the bitten nails.  The color is cooled and partially desaturated to depict worring oneself to death.

Day 18: Air Freshener Gel Beads

Day 18:  Lighting, Backlighting

I had this sitting on a piece of glass over a lamp covered in white plastic.  I changed the category within the time frame per Kim's and Uni's comments.  I'll use underlighting another time, now that I understand how to do it!  :)
