07-14-10 – Black, White, & Grey All Over

The last one wouldn’t load for me, but I love the water drops (to be honest, I don’t know what you used in theme, because I haven’t, and rarely, get a chance at looking at the thread in detail on contest day)

This was my B-side, other than an idea I had that I didn’t get a chance to try

Didn’t pick it because it felt a bit too much like a ‘picture of a picture’ for contest use. I may try a print next round though, ’cause I like the textures.

Now that it’s waaay to late, perhaps a better name for this theme might have been “Subdued Color”. It was difficult, but provided some interesting entries. I’m enjoying watching them drop into the contest.

I can totally see you building souped up toys for your kids!

Kestrana: “Honey, where is the motor from the washing machine?”

Orionid: “Ummm….”

Rrrrrooooooaaaarrrr….

*kid flies by at 60mph on flamed tricycle*

Oh yeah. Definitely. I can see that too.

Of course, said kid would come out of the womb with a camera in hand. Hopefully it’d be a P&S. A DSLR could be downright uncomfortable.

You guys crack me up.

Of course depending on the lens that comes with that DSLR it might be worth the uh, extra effort…

Oh sure, the ol’ double entendre thing is good, too. And going out of your way to kiss in front of the kids when you know they think it’s gross. Good times.

That’s the tactic my parents used… At least until I learned that a bottle of peach schnapps meant “Go play downstairs.”

Oh, no…. I have much better plans in store along those lines.

The only problem with “subdued color” is defining what “subdued” really is, which could be…challenging. On the other hand, we’ve had a number of actual black and white shots submitted despite the theme saying “color photos”

And a couple that look very much like selective desaturation.

I don’t envy the mod’s job. I’m not even sure I want to vote yet (other than my own, of course 🙂 ) as I don’t know what’s ‘real’ and what’s not.

What’s the matter with hats? Why would you drop one? You don’t like my hat? You don’t like me when I wear a hat? Whatever. Harrummpff.
