| View Full Version : A lonely tree Janet Petty 07-12-2007, 01:09 PM On my Utah jaunt this year, I had the opportunity to visit Canyonlands in eastern Utah. This lonely tree caught my eye. Janet P.S. I liked the BW version as my arty piece. So here tis. lkroll 07-12-2007, 06:42 PM Still like doing watercolors Janet, so here's my entry. :) des151 07-12-2007, 07:38 PM Janet, I really like the B&W version. Nice work. Ray palms1 07-13-2007, 07:14 AM Janet as hoped/expected a lovely series of photo's , i also hoped that you had a enjoyable time on this is used a adaptive equilization mask Palms rab3rd 07-13-2007, 07:30 AM Wish I could see this. I love solitary tree shots.... LonK 07-13-2007, 03:11 PM 5-star photo, Janet. I thought I'd add some character to the sky before doing my painterly. rab3rd 07-13-2007, 08:41 PM Janet, here is a 10 minute edit to black and white. First I selected and copied the sky to a new layer and lighten it a bunch. Then I used the channel mixer to convert to B and W. I used low red high blue and med green. Then I dodged the tree trunk and the deep shawdows in the rocks to pull out the details. Good shot by the way. Ony thing I might have done different is to get a tighter shot.... http://www.scatteredlightphotography.com/Webshots/LoneTreeBandW.jpg Janet Petty 07-14-2007, 08:38 PM Ony thing I might have done different is to get a tighter shot.... [/URL] You mean like this...? I liked the horizontal shot better. :) :) Great thing about art though, everyone likes something different. I'm glad you liked the tree and that you showed your version. Keep up the good work. Janet rab3rd 07-15-2007, 06:06 AM No,not really. I lke the landscape orientaion better. I just meant getting closer to the tree so its more the subject. Just my opinion though. Michel B 07-15-2007, 07:37 AM This image can stand going too far... Michel B 07-15-2007, 08:09 AM Excellent for dramatic black and white. byRo 07-15-2007, 12:18 PM Janet, another interesting image! Thank you, once again. :bigthmb: All three channel images (RGB) are wonderful. I just couldn't choose one, so I used each one in turn. Rô Janet Petty 07-15-2007, 12:44 PM Gosh, each of you are doing neat things to this image. I'm getting so many ideas for enhancement and for just playing. Ro, I never would have thought to check the channels in color. Can stand going to far...? Right on. I like the hypersaturated look. The detail in the black and white, Michel, is impressive. I think I'm going to redo the one I have. Great job. If I left any one (or two) persons out, forgive me. Unless I write down what ya'll did, by the time it comes to type up the comments, I've forgotten who did what. Janet |
