Photograph and Camera talk

Don’t shoot much during the Winter. Spend a lot of time revisiting old files. Mostly deleting pictures,but sometimes you find a fun one. Walking the Dog,reflected in the chrome bumper of a 55 Chevy Belair.

Use of selective color in this picture of the grill of an old Mercury.

That’s cool @Jett129 . I’ve generally been lazy about exploring post-processing possibilities but seeing successful outcomes may prod me into trying them. Well done

[Jett129]

Thank you,it comes from the fact that in the days before color film,people would hand colorize  select parts of the B&W images. Now through the wonders of Photoshop it’s much easier. If you search on #selectivecolor on Instagram there are some really,really cool shots. I also think that once you do this it elevates the image a little closer to being “Art”,which is something I struggle with.

Another example of Selective Color.

Been experimenting with Lensball Photography. @Giles you would love this place. 

[Giles]

I am sure that I would

I was messing with the night mode on my phone at dusk and I think these are interesting.

@Jett129 Very Nice!!

[LewisStonehouse]

Here's a few recent ones I've snapped. All on the Fujifilm X100V, so fixed 35mm focal length essentially

Beauts….

Gorgeous pictures!

Anyone uses add-on lenses on their cell phones? I just got a macro lens from Moment to add to my iPhone. I haven't had time to try it yet.

[LewisStonehouse]

Cheers @Giles @JDelage

The fixed focal length makes life interesting, but I've found I'm so much more likely to chuck the camera in the bag compared to a whole pile of kit. Pretty amazing what it can do, turns out they're not just good for street photography

[LewisStonehouse]

Also, few snaps from my 30th trip to Cornwall week before last

[goosehd]

@LewisStonehouse The colour's are magnificent!  Are you doing any post editing or is that the raw captured image?

[LewisStonehouse]

@goosehd few light touches in Lightroom but no major editing. That being said I'm using the X100V's in-built film similations and exporting a jpeg: Velvia where they're super vibrant, Classic Chrome on the more muted ones and Acros for b&w. To be fair, the colours were amazing in real life too, Cornwall really is stunning.

Yeah, it was a windy old day…..
