To Be or Not to Be... - Day 11


Good morning!
:)

How are y'all enjoying the series so far?
We're already 1/3rd of the way through and I hope your creative juices are flowing and wheels are turning!
There's still a lot of information yet to come and three more exercises, so stick around.


Today we're talking about color or lack of and how both can play very dynamic roles in your composition.

Color can be a great catalyst for evoking feelings from your photos.

Whereas the absence of color can focus your attention more fully on the subject(s) and details.

  3. Absolutely beautiful - I remember editing one of my photos last night. It was full of color and I decided to convert to BW to focus on the emotion of the moment rather than all the colors.

  4. Just beautiful! I thought I was really liking your color photos until I saw your B&W's...those I LOVE! Do you have a certain action you use that you like or do you just convert them on your own?

  5. I'm LOVING these Katie! You know me...worst blog visitor ever, but I read them all on my feed and haven't missed a single one. LOVE! Your creativity is inspiring...and you help me look at things in a different way. These posts leave me wanting MORE and I'm afraid I'm going to go thru some kind of withdrawl when it's all over. Kinda like after the Olympics are over. Yeah, like that.
