“Walk this way!”
Jump Frisbee
It may have been all my recent trips to the museum, but I have the impulse to try and work in color. This shot is from 2005. As you can see, they sit in the hopper for a long time before I find some use for them. This is in Carl Schurz Park. This was shot with the Canon 20D with a 100mm prime, ASA 800.
My color phases don’t usually last long, but every so often I give it a try.
It is one of the things that is different with digital photography (or to some extent scanned color negs) that current processing tools allow a much greater control over the properties of individual colors, such as saturation, lightness, and tint. In this shot, the dog with the raincoat in the upper right corner, barely registers in black and white, but I can easily change the color of the dog’s jacket to draw attention to it, or not. The same for the frisbee, or just about any sold color element.
In the old days, you could do color masks, which were very tricky, and adjust overall cmyk or rgb. (I’m going back a long way when I worked as what was called a commercial c printer).
