I'm thinking it may be time for a more technical kind of challenge, though I think Street kinda fits that in a way. It's a different kind of shooting and definitely will put a lot of us beyond our comfort zones. On second thought, though, we just had motion panning not that long ago - that's a technical challenge. But I do like those. Makes you go try new stuff.

Tell me about ice balls? I just got into work and felt like I was being sandblasted by ice. And when I get here, the office is closed today because of the weather. So a quiet day-just wish I had a camera with me. |

They say sandblasting is good for the complexion! LOL. My dog got put out to pee. He peed off the porch, wouldn't step a foot off it. ROFLMAO watching him out the window. Then he came blasting in like the hounds of hell were chasing him! Yet, my son is out there playing in it. Of course he's wrapped up like that kid from "Christmas Story".

Go over and cheer!
Thank you to butterflies, alans_world and Blue Moon, for voting. |
Mary, did you send PMs to the winners? I didn't know I'd won a yappie until I stumbled onto it, and I read most of the team suck thread. In one case, that was 6 weeks later.

The big question, is if I get a good shot which would work for both Street and the "Where I live" side challenge, where do I submit it? Suppose I've fallen a day or two behind on the subchallenge..
Decisions, decisions.

Save it for the Street challenge then you can post it to the Where I Live thread after the challenge closes. Lots of folks did something similar when I did the 30 day self portrait thingie.

Indeed. I'm considering pulling one of my "Where I Live" shots for the free study.

Space economy is good. We are really ripping through these threads. |

I've lost track of who knows processing well and who's just beginning, but here's a terrific overview of curves and how it can help increase contrast and visual interest:

Great link, Jeff. They have some good stuff on that site.
Now I just need someone to tell me the difference between darken,lighten,multiply, etc... |

Hey, that's great! I'll have to spend some time exploring it.
As for curves, at the risk of sounding like I think I'm some kind of expert: here's my day 14 shot for Where You Live plus the original and the rather slight curve I used to greatly enhance the contrast.
Whether you like the result or not, it doesn't take much to make large changes.
Day 14: Tree Tunnel
Original:
Curve:

What a great catch! I'd crop the bottom to get rid of the feeder and bring the attention more to the face (which I love). And then use the above curves process to make it pop. If you do any work on it, be sure to post the results. I didn't know the nostrils were under the beak either.

And all nice comments too, so VERY happy about that, nobody bitching about technical issues.
Just finished digging out from 8 or so inches of snow here in Eastern Ontario. How's it elsewhere? (Sorry haven't read the thread yet) |

| I've been trying to learn the photoshop elements 5.5 program. If anyone would like to take a look at the postproccessing folder in my protfolio and give comments it would really help me. Learning on your own can be okay, but sometimes it takes other eyes to see something you might be missing. I just started with one picture but with help would like to try more. I think elements is different then the photshop that everybody talks about as I don't see the things that other people talk about. Thanks in advance. |

I'll take a peek and see if I can offer any good advice. I use both Elements 1.0 and Photoshop CS 8.0. Elements is relatively pared-down, whereas PS 8.0 is quite complex.
You could try asking scalvert for help, he's a graphic designer by profession, and he's always been nice and helped me with my questions. |
