ParticipantUhhh. Yeah. You guys weren’t really who I was asking. 🙂 (Mainly because I knew your answers would be the same as mine)
September 29, 2009 at 10:06 pm in reply to: 10-07-09 – Farktography Classic: Black and White 2 #24335ParticipantI am going to do at least one landscape. But b&w is so good for dark, depressing, wrong, harsh photography that I want to do some shooting specifically with this mood. I had in mind a kid (one of mine) smoking a lit cigarette. Do you guys think this is tolerable? I mean, I don’t want to cross the ‘OK line’, y’know. I’m going to do some sort of specific moody b&w portrait – I just like ’em.
Participant**said with a tough guy voice**
I was going to do this but my shoulder is a bit sore from doing it so much this past weekend. (oh yeah, and I am old and infirm)

September 27, 2009 at 5:59 pm in reply to: 10-07-09 – Farktography Classic: Black and White 2 #24333ParticipantI think I read that wrong because until about a week ago I was using CS2. Just updated to CS4.

I don’t feel like I have any authority. That being said, if you’re looking for a decision to be made, I say we do shades of gray. No other colors.
And Justkat, thanks for the vote of confidence. But I see through your kind words to the fiendish JINX that lies within. 🙂 I have no real input for you. Bounce around on the web and see what other photogs have done. Open up several pics that you have taken that you just like and desaturate them. See what works. During the Color Pop discussion, sleeping suggested using the ‘Channel Mixer’ in PS for different B&W effects. I’ve played with that and suck at it. It’s easier (but probably not as good) for me to desaturate and then mess with brightness and contrast. I find that alot of the stuff I desaturate looks better when I make it darker and more contrasty.
ParticipantNow I want that Chevelle too.
ParticipantI haven’t done it yet. But if anyone out there plans on buying that Topaz stuff, there is a 10% coupon code “STUCKINCUSTOMS”.
ParticipantNoBigDeal, that Topaz Adjust looks pretty cool. Is it based on HDR? Is it HDR?
ParticipantAnd while I’m here – U-man… that lizard… crikey! Gorgeous!
Thanks BB. I was glad he was on the other side of a piece of glass.
Kestrana – welcome to the…well not really a madhouse. More of a house for slightly off creative geeks. Anyway, stick around. It’s pretty neat.
ParticipantNice but not required.
Participantyou people make my head spin.
Not that smoldering bowl?
I have one so far that definitely fits. I took it a month after ‘Trees’ and ‘Reflections’ and it is reflections of trees. My youngest brought home a cold to share with the family so I have not been really motivated to do more searching.
I agree with Curious, without schnee‘s FSM this wouldn’t be possible. (double negative –> schnee‘s FSM makes this possible.)
ParticipantThanks. Personally, I liked millera9’s better than mine. Even if it is a little creepy.
Participant…I might have the bug now, and keep the TotalFark…
Heh. I remember my first time…:)
Just wait until you start getting ‘the bug’ for a new camera body and some really great lenses.ParticipantThanks guys.
