A Black and White Image from Color

2009-03-27T15:08:00.000-07:00

Santa Fe just had its last snowfall of the season which reminded me of a photo I took early December morning 2008....

I loved the winding driveway with the sun and tree at the very end so I cropped the image and thought it might look better without the color. Here is what I came up with:

I did more than desaturate the color... I bought a set of plug-in filters from Topaz Labs. What I love about the filters is I can create new settings, name them and easily apply them again onto new images.

After I found a setting a liked I tweaked it more. Then I desaturated the image.
It was not as simple as 1,2,3. There was a bold grid in the best image. I blended it out using the rubber stamp tool, lightened the image and entered it into a contest with my fingers crossed.

The people at Topaz Labs are friendly and helpful.
Their plugins are resaonably priced with a 30 day free trial period.

If you have a problem or question Topaz-help will work with you.
I was very impressed.
Have fun!

Wouldn't you be inspired?

This is where I live.

I have a ladder handy ......

so I can climb up to the roof and get a clear view of sunsets and storms. I plan on using it now in the late fall and winter months because the sun has shifted and becomes blocked by trees and homes. That is, when it's setting.

What can you do to get a better view?

Calendar Storm

2008-10-31T12:39:00.000-07:00

The color image below recently won its place in a local calendar competition. I'm having success in photography contests this year. The contests seem to have a lot in common...they were free to enter, they were local - within 100 miles, and they gave me free exposure.

My luck in part was due to the numerous storms we had in New Mexico from August to late September. I not going to keep relying on luck though. I am expanding my storms series by learning as much as I can about night photography, about adjusting dark images and printing dark images. Storms and sunsets have a particular adjustment problem.. the foreground usually being too dark or solid black. When I have gone into Photoshop to adjust the foreground it often became washed out. I found some amazing videos on You Tube that teach Photoshop adjustments just for this problem and they worked on most of my images. I'm very pleased. If you want to know more about it write a request on this blog or to me directly at ruth@mydigitalphotographytips.com I'm fishing to see how much interest is out there and get a little interaction going from my readers.

Okay, here is the image which made it into the Eldorado Community Association 2009 Calendar.

here it is in black and white:

Can you see how the black and white image has more detail in the foreground?
I worked in layers using masks and filters and then adjusted the filter layer. That's the technique.

My passion is the thrill of running outside in the storm and the mud. On this photo-shoot day I got soaked three times. When this storm disappeared I ran east just a block and a half away and caught more sheets of rain heading towards me. I'll post that image in my next entry. There is something about a rain soaked muddy road with dramatic clouds above that fires me up. The scene isn't somewhere in the distance. It right here enveloping me. I think I just have to capture this moment forever.. the pelting rains, the filtered light of low slung clouds. You might of missed it, but I was there and I can show you it was breathtaking.
What fires you up?

Sunsets within a Landscape

2008-08-11T12:10:00.001-07:00

It was a rather dreary winter as far as storms and tumultuous skies go.
I was frequently asked if I had any new storm images.
My reply was 'no.' Just nothing up there but blue to photograph.
The skies have made up for it in the last few days and I didn't have to go far to get some great photographs.
This is a view from my driveway taken this past weekend:

Here's one more that I probably would have missed if I wasn't out working in my garden that day:

Black and White Photography Contest - A Win

2008-06-28T16:06:00.001-07:00

Turquoise Trail Storm

This precious image that evolved from a color photograph to a sepia tone to a black and white photograph found glory last night in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

KBAC Radio BLACK & WHITE LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY OF NEW MEXICO

On this warm summer's night my friends Cynthia, Donna, Tom and I walked over to hear the winner announced at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum on Johnson Street. We were an hour early and looking for something cool to drink, but settled for waiting until the contest announcement was over. The images entered by the ten finalists were soon going to be projected in the very same room where the history of Georgia O'Keeffe is shown. So we had time to kill and were easily distracted by the paintings of O'Keeffe and photographs of Ansel Adams.

The museum was crowded and I viewed whatever painting or photo that didn't have a tourist in front of it at the time. G O'K's paintings colors are so vivid. Just the memory of the deep reds warms me. I walked towards the Ansel Adams photographs which filled an entire room and was drawn to the one at the far end. Thunderstorm Espanola Valley, 1961:

It was the older brother to my Turquoise Trail Storm so I thought.

No more time to view the exhibit because the winner of the competition:

was going to be announced soon.
In the small dark video room the ten finalists images were projected. Each finalist was called to receive a hard cover book of the main exhibit's artwork. My name wasn't called. My friends looked at me like "Uh-oh, they forgot Ruth!"
Just my luck I figured, but then my name was announced... as the winner.
What an adrenaline rush.

I received a thick envelope filled with several prizes and the smiles from my friends. We walked to the Eldorado Hotel and celebrated shouting above the piano music. A lovely day indeed:

Thank you for your votes!

p.s. See you at Jeannie's next week.
p.p.s. KABC radio b&w contest information is down, but sign up for new contest alerts. You may be next year's winner.

Landscape Image in New Mexico

2008-06-05T13:52:00.000-07:00

I love the saying "You must be present to win."
It has a Zen like undertone. And leads me to my story about 'Turquoise Trail Storm'

Storms like this one although frequent aren't always in my field of vision.
Many times they are obscured by telephone poles, buildings and trees. I had to be in the right place at the right time with camera and looking out the window. Luckily my friend who was driving pulled over and I took this shot a few years ago. I have always liked it and last week entered it into well... I'll let this e-mail tell the story:

You have been selected as one of the ten finalists for the 98.1 Radio Free Santa Fe Black and White Landscape Photography of New Mexico contest. Your photograph will be framed and exhibited at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Education Annex this Friday June 6.

Online Voting will commence on this Friday June 6. Photos may be viewed at http://www.kbac.com/section/view_authent/?fnode=81. (Note: All voters will need to register for the site.) For non-digital folks, paper ballots will be available at the Education Annex located at 123 Grant Avenue. Voting is scheduled between June 6 to June 20.

What a great publicity opportunity. My work will be online with nine fellow photographers.

It will have a presence and this alone makes me feel like a winner.

Using the Warp Tool in Photoshop

2008-04-25T18:24:00.000-07:00

Hi All,

I created an image from a digital photograph in Painter and Photoshop. I was almost done, but didn't like the clouds -- they were like a bull's eye in the center of the image.

I came up with a simple solutions so I didn't have to start all over.

This is the finished piece and the sequence below it shows the transition:

Abiquiu, New Mexico

I began with this image:

I painted the photograph in Corel painter and it looked like this:

The image below shows..

... the next step.I moved it into photoshop and brightened it up with one filter and and color adjustments. Wow, I don't have to be an expert in Painter to achieve the paintings I want. But the center of the sky looked like a bull's eye. I didn't want to start all over again. That's when I thought of the warping tool.

I selected the sky and made it into a separate layer and placed the warping tool over it. Then I warped the clouds over to the right.

Pretty cool, huh?

If one person writes and requests a video. I will create a post a video version of this post.

Photography Series Ideas

2008-02-28T20:46:00.000-08:00

You probably have a photography series idea and don't even realize it. You have a visual series wrapped up in your dreams. Some people have recurring dreams and those are easy to remember. Others may have to quickly jot the dream down in the morning before it's forgotten. Ask someone what they dreamt about recently and that might help you to remember yours.

Why do dreams make for a good digital photography series?
They are unique, personal, abstract and visual.

Dreams are open to artistic interpretation. They can be hazy, incomplete, enigmatic, sensual and striking in the subliminal way others will relate to them.

Think of the dream as 5-10 still shots that tell a story. A story so personal you will learn about yourself in its transformation to photographs. A story so personal you may be afraid to tell--that's the one we want to know.

"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost." – Martha Graham

Old Idea for New Digital Images

2008-02-11T08:47:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone,

Just this week I was asked to submit a portfolio of my landscapes to a New York city gallery. My favorite subjects within landscapes are the skies and tremendous cloud formations here in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Since the gallery wants to see everything I have it was important to me to have continuity with the images I took over several months and several locations. I just don't want the buyer to purchase one. I want to sell a series.
I thought I would try adding a sepia tone to all the landscapes I have not previously shown. Here are the before images:

And here are the sepia toned after images.

the finished size of the images are 25 inches x 17 inches.
there is no cutting and pasting involved. I did clean up a few signs and removed a house if it distracted as you can see in the first image.
any comments or questions reply to this blog.

How did I do it?

In Adobe Photoshop open your image.
Go to Image then Adjust then Desaturate
Next Go to Image then Adjust then Variations.
Move the Fine<.....>Coarse slider to the left -- one notch from the middle.
Click on more yellow once.
Click on more red once.
Click OK.

I found a few ways to bump up the image before turning to sepia tone.
I'll be making a short video of how I did that for my subscribers--for free.

I saw this camera for $59.97. It's a Norcent DCC-725 Digital Camera - 7.0 Megapixel, 3x Optical Zoom, 4x Digital Zoom, 2.5" LCD.
I have never seen a 7.0 megapixel camera at this low of a price.

Learn Digital Photography: Photographing People

2007-03-04T12:17:00.000-08:00

I used to take photographs of people, but got out
of the habit. Not portraits. That's different. I'm
talking about photographing the public.

I recall some wonderful images of people. These photos
were taken back when I was a photography student
of Les Krims at the college in Buffalo, NY. One assignment
he gave was just that--photograph people.

Giving it a try I took the bus downtown, stationed myself at
a department store doorway and pointed my camera out at
pedestrians on Main Street, but I felt very uncomfortable.
I kept thinking of Diane Arbus and her images of people
as freaks. "Freaks was a thing I photographed a lot."*
she's quoted as saying.

I couldn't look at people that way.

My second attempt was at an annual parade in the
Polish section of town the next weekend. I think my
intention was to photograph the parade itself. But
when I got there the parade watchers were equally
fascinating.

People were relaxed with my pointing the camera.
They were intent on the parade and didn't notice
I was there. My confidence grew and I shot an
entire roll of film.

They were black and white photos, a mix of adults leaning
against buildings sometimes framed by the doorways.
Each expression flickered a different response which shaped
character into their faces. The ads on the buildings behind them
them caught a bit of history as did the style of clothing worn,
hairstyles and men in hats. There is something about black and
white that brought out textures and patterns of clothing without
their color competing.

I attribute the success in taking those photographs to ......

Learn Digital Photography: Tip on Color

2007-02-04T09:19:00.000-08:00

When using less color is more effective.

Color is so predominant
in photography that images lacking
color simply stand out.

Do you remember the film 'Schindler's List?'
It was filmed in black and white, but there
were two additions of color. They were a
little girl's red coat and yellow flames on
a candle.

Now, that was subtle yet dramatic.
It's remembered and there's a buzz about
why the coat and candles were singled out.

Can you imagine your own black and white
or sepia toned image with one object in it
painted? It would still qualify as a color
photo,but your work would get noticed
amongst the blazing reds, blue and greens.

It's easy enough to paint color in Photoshop
or other digital software, but there are
other ways.

In my 7th newsletter I give tips and ideas
for turning your images into subtle yet
dramatic photos from images you already have.

All the equipment needed is an image
and a scanner and some materials you probably
have around your home.

Advancing in Photography: Letting Go of Old Habits

It was about 5 years ago when I worked on an image that I was obsessed about. Well, I didn't know it at the time. The obsession that is.

It was a photo I took of an abandoned house. Off to the right was a beam of light that cut across diagonally. I wanted to emphasize this light. But everything I knew at the time (about photo enhancing) wasn't enough to resurrect this image.

Someone suggested that I move on and experiment with something new. Work on some of my other images.

You know? That's when my photographs began to take on a new look. My ideas started to grow. Several times a week I stayed up half the night creating.

I had to let go of that one idea that just wasn't working.

How to pick your best image

2007-01-10T11:01:00.000-08:00

Before images 1 and 2 above

After images 1 and 2 here

The images you choose reflect and develop your photographic style:

I selected the snowy landscape image in my last post below and the two above when, 'I chose the best ones.'

How do I know after I shoot a couple dozen photos which ones are the best?

Sometimes, I just get that 'aha' moment when I view an image. Something stands out in the colors or lines. Like the images above have sweeping diagonal lines.

The deep long path in the right image suggests a journey. I love paths and roads. They pull my eyes into the scene.

The left image: I can gaze into this white forest and feel mesmerized by the depth of the trees and their quiet mystery. Snow and rainstorms tug at my insides. They are both tumultuous and comforting at the same time.

Of your photos, which ones move you?
Are you choosing them because you think that is what others will like or because they appeal to you?

I used to be concerned about fitting a style others would like.
That only meant being all things to all people.

Now when I display a photo I'm saying - 'can you see what I see?'
I'm inviting others in to take a look at what I have to offer.

There's a science regarding color and a psychology of how we react to it. But I've learned more about color and light from artists than I have from scientists.

Scientists write about color and light and artists express it.

Digital photos of snow, sand and surf - using white to your advantage

2006-12-25T17:35:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year.

In keeping with a Southwest winter theme...
(Yes, it snows here we just had a record 30 inches in two days.)
I want to share a photograph.
It's an image I caught quite by accident:

You can get a better idea of it with an entire white background here:
(don't forget to hit the back arrow on your browser to return)http://mydigitalphotographytips.com/Silent_White.jpg

There are a three main reasons the photo looks the way it does. I:
* drove 100 miles up some slippery roads after a snow storm.
* took several shots of each area I liked and chose the best one.
* used a little filtering in Photoshop.

This photo was recently sent to my subscribers as part of my newsletter bonus. In it I discussed how the snow drift's color blends into the white background at the bottom left.

The snow is so white that when printed it will become part of the paper surrounding it.

I like the way that breaks up the square-boxiness of a photograph, the way it bleeds out.

Whether you live in the snow or sand see if you can pick up a segment of white somewhere along the border of your image.

Get my drift? It may even be a big white wave that comes crashing through your photo.

What my subscribers don't know yet is I'm going to tell them which filter I used to get the look of a wood cut. And later on I'll demonstrate manipulating objects to pop out of a sand dune or a snow bank.

The ideas are limited only by one's imagination.

If it sounds simple that's because it really is.

Your Personal Photographic Style

2006-10-05T06:54:00.000-07:00

Understanding Digital Photography:
You're Just A Few Techniques
From Developing Your
Photographic Style

There are thousands of combinations of tools and effects in PhotoShop.Keep it simple. Learn a few digital techniques really well and build on that success.

One method of achieving a style is to be consistant: use one effect applied over several images. This will achieve another goal: mastery of the technique.

Mastering a technique: Concentrate on one effect at time instead of trying to learn everything at once. You'll be more focused and achieve greater images because you'll gain confidence in expressing your visual ideas with new software.

Today's digital photo subject is Buster. I'm applying a Photoshop effect to his image. Effects may be referred to as filters.

I liked this composition of paw, nose and whiskers within the soft enedclose-up.

I made a lot of trials to get this effect in Adobe PhotoShop. Now I know exactly how to get this style again. It's important to know because, for one reason it saves time. Another is continuity.

Examples of 3 photos that would not have continuity:

Lets say I have three 24" x 30" or larger images of Buster on the wall. The first image is the one above with the white/light blue background, the second has a plaid background and the third has coffee cup and a bagel (and Buster -- probably eating the bagel.)

When you look across the three photos rather than being drawn in--your eyes just jump around trying to find the continuity, the order, the message or feel.

***How to achieve continuity:
Similar style and color combined with various Buster poses will tell a story. They'll draw the viewer in to discover the details. Photographs are more likely to sell as a group of three if they are tied together in this type of series. Using similar Photoshop effects on all the photographs will tie the images together visually.

If you have received my Ten Tips you'll remember I wrote about visiting art galleries? The next time you go observe how similar styles and colors of art are hung together.

Gallery owners know what's current, what sells and how to display it. Art's a tough business -they wouldn't be in business if they weren't good. Learn from the experts.

Back to Buster. You won't have to take all the time I did in experimenting to get this effect. People are busy and on the go.

I'll just show you what I did in my newsletter. You'll have the directions to save, to repeat and to make your own notations.

But first, you'll need subscribe to my Ten- free-Tips over at the right hand column under "Subscribe." They'll get you out taking photos and getting you to think digitally.

Then you'll get my free newsletter on how I created the 'Petals' image in my last post in August just below. There's lots of pictures in it to take you through step-by-step. Next, you'll receive my Buster newsletter on creating an animal series of three images. You can use a photo of a bird, a zoo animal; go for a walk and ask a stranger if you can shoot a photo of their dog. Or can scan a picture from a book or some old photos.

When Creativity Overpowers "The Plan"

2006-08-02T08:24:00.000-07:00

Photography and digital ideas are abundant in our cloud filled New Mexican skies.

It doesn't matter what gets you in action to capture a new photograph. Like Nike says, "Just Do It." I've had a plan for something entirely different from the image above. A sixth sense makes me zig when my logical self is telling me to zag.

Does that happen to you? You just can't force yourself to follow the outline because once it's all outlined where's the fun? It's too structured. My plan got me outdoors, but then I needed to let go and follow my instincts. Don't be too hard on yourself if your images don't look the way you imagined they would.

Grab those photographs and take a second look. See what your instincts were telling you. There is a way to take a selective look to find the image you subconsciously took.

The quality is high in the reproduction of the magazine's images and the layout. If want to pick up a copy locally you'll find them here: Distributed thoughout Albuquerque and Santa Fe.

I'm thrilled and honored to have my photograph of 'Blue LIne Storm' on the cover.

It was taken last year the day before my portfolio was due for Geoffrey Gorman's portfolio class.

I stayed up half the night printing the storm series I took that evening so I could present it to the class the next day.

You know how some music just hits you some where between the solar plexis and the heart? Storms do the same thing to me.

New Idea For Digital Photography Series

2006-06-28T21:48:00.000-07:00

I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico where digital photography ideas get easier each day because I find help in the natural landscape and native southwest imagery. For instance, last night I took a photograph of the sunset. The sky was filled with big billowy clouds that were lit from beneath. The fading sunlight brought out the soft blues and browns. The land below was nearly black.

The stark contrast between the earth and sky gave me an idea to introduce an offbeat fence in the
foreground to brighten it up and showcase it.

The fence would be unique because I would build it from quirky fence parts from a photo I took recently in Buffalo, NY.

To the left is the Buffalo, NY image.
In Photoshop, I cut out the spotted door, the white bed frame to the left of it and wire mesh fencing to the right and placed a blending mode on the new image.

Then I used the sky from the first image above as a filter and the resulting image is below:

Using the sky as a filter is something I discovered by accident a couple years ago. It's a bit easier to accomplish in a complete image rather than one cut up like this.

In the last photograph can you see how two images were layered together? This is just the beginning of the process to create a combined image. The last thing I do to an image often leads me to the next step. In this example the new gate does not have enough contrast, The white bedpost does. It picks up the golden brown of the land integrating itself into the photograph. There is more work to be done, but I have a clearer idea of what works. It wasn't my original idea, but that's alright.

This concludes my first official post to my blog.
My aim is to present this brief overview of my process in order generate questions from you the reader. What interests you.?

~Would it be the use of the sky as a filter?
~Or cutting into an image and layering it over another?
~Or how I choose my subject matter?
~Or step-by-step help with digital photography or Photoshop?

I can help explain the intermediary steps and images in all cases.
It will take just a moment for you to post a question to this blog.
